Pre match thread Southend V West Ham X1

[Tommy2holes]

Not sure what to make of this one.

Anybody know what sort of side west ham are likely to bring?

I doubt we will see the kind of support that we have seen from both sides at previous friendlies and given that there side will probably be made up of youth and reserve players I think the price tag may put people off.

Be good to see the team again as I haven't been since Braintree. This is a chance I might not be able to make it. Does anyone know if there will be a stream online again?

Only came back from tour of Germany on Saturday. By the article below, looks as though the majority will be promising youths, plus one or two who have first team experience.

Are you a closet West Ham fan? You are supposed to be there to see The Blues and not be more enticed by the standard of the opposition £15 it may be but the club needs every £15 it can get. Dig deep, as we all should, now more than ever.

£15 complete rip off, i will not be going, go do one ron martin, about time you gave mr brown some funds.

I despair. Just go watch Tottenham then, I'm sure they need your money much more.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Add me to the list of people disappointed with the pricing of this.

It should be at least £25. Make it so it's cheaper to attend Saturday's meaningful game.

But with out people going to the games where do you expect RM to get funds to give to Brown?

I too feel this is over priced for a friendly and even more so when I resently brought my ticket for Ukraine Vs England for £10.00

 

[shrimperhosk]

iv spent so much money in the last 10 years at Southend even buy all the new kits and have had a season card but i get married in just under a month so money is tight.
only support Southend United so dont suggest im a spam fan 'Puke'

 

[OldBlueLady]

As I said to people moaning about the price of the QPR tickets, it's a tenner for season card holders. Yet another reason to consider investing in one when next season comes round again - there are some genuine perks to be had.

 

[Southend Pier]

To be fair to tottenham Money may not be an issue. He may have other committments to invest his time in. Which is my problem on saturdays as I play myself.

To be fair to him £15 is disgusting considering West Ham are bringing mainly a youth/reserve team tonight. I'm not going either.

I wouldnt say saving £5 is a perk.

Personally season card holders should be rewarded far more then they do, Pre season games should be free

West Ham XI news on above link.

 

[southend4ever]

Fringe players and youth by the sounds of it. Pricing too high for this one.

However, a good chance for Brown to decide what players he wants to loan and the loanees get a good chance to see Roots Hall.

 

[tottenham541]

enjoy the game tonight eh, pointless friendly if we are playing the reserves, if that, just hope we stay injury free as the problems will really start then.

 

[Bratislava Blue]

Does anyone know if it'll be on Blues World tonight?

It was tongue in cheek :smile:. More seriously though, getting married and allotting monies for your wedding over The Blues? There are plenty of fish in the sea but only one Southend United! Better get her used to the idea now before its cited in the divorce court :winking:
