What a $hit show.

We have nothing in the way of interviews or pictures.

The physio has not turned up as he is waiting on wages.

We are playing a side that dont even agree we are playing them and their pitch is busy that day.

Jesus!!

I think that’s our lot regarding friendlies and even one of them looks iffy now . Even with the embargo lifted i can’t see how we are going attract any decent new players before we kick off. No one in their right mind would join us unless they know the takeover is completed. Still to many loose ends

 

[stewart]

Oh well with players now not training due to not beig paid ,we may have to ask the Southend United ladies team to fulfill our friendly matches, and if this continues much longer without the club having new owners it maybe thats the only Southend United the supporters will have to support this coming season .

 

[Scamps]

They will have to have friendly’s aginst some Sunday league teams. #martinout

 

[Barling Magna]

Couldn't even get Great Wakering Rovers this time eh? Hmmmm....

Might depend on how many of their free tickets haven’t been binned, to make up their “record attendances “.

So, kids for a quid meant nothing in the men's game, or was that allowed?

Why, I think women’s football is good.
Especially when I watch the woman’s England team. They put the men’s premier ****e to shame. The woman will stay on their feet whilst the men will go down on the floor like they have been shot.
When I watch my eldest play Sunday league there are quite a few female teams also on the pitch.
They put just as mush passion into their game as anyone.
Good on em I say,

 

[stewart]

I think ,the womens game has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years, Some of the womens teams are really great to watch , No play acting with them. In fact its the men i would call drama queens not the women .

We can now confirm initial details of our pre-season friendlies ahead of the 2023/24 Vanarama National League season.

Blues will kick off against Isthmian League Premier Division outfit Canvey Island in two weeks’ time, and will conclude their preparations with a clash against EFL club AFC Wimbledon at Roots Hall.

The game at Canvey’s Park Lane will take place on Tuesday 11th July, before we make the trip to New Lodge, home of Billericay Town on Saturday 15th July.


Kevin Maher will take his team to play newly-promoted National League North side Bishop’s Stortford on Saturday 22nd July, and we round things off at home a week later against the Dons.

Ticket details for all four fixtures will be confirmed in due course.

2023/24 Initial Pre-Season Schedule

Tuesday 11th July, 7:45pm – Canvey Island (A)
Saturday 15th July, 3pm – Billericay Town (A)
Saturday 22nd July, 3pm – Bishop’s Stortford (A)
Saturday 29th July, 3pm – AFC Wimbledon (H)

Now on the OS.

These really are underwhelming friendlies. Being so close to London, and with Stan's black book he keeps talking of, this is the best we can get?


Surely a Spurs, Arsenal or West Ham under 18s outfit at home would attract more than Wimbledon.

And 3 away games against teams lower than the NL. Or does Kev think that's our standard with the squad we have remaining?

Aruably our date in the High Court again next Wed.is more important than any pre-season game we might be involved in.

Make that 5997. I wouldn’t watch ladies football either.
