I think we should get as many flags as possible and take them into this game and create a great atmosphere. It is another of those good days out even though it is just down the road.

We need to create atmosphere for the boys and I can see myself starting the drinks very early. Any pubs we are all going to drink in? How about the Spread until 3 or 4ish and then make our way down there? I think all the shrimpers should congregate and get the beers flowing and start the scene before the game.

Doing the conga down barking road maybe? The Boleyn pub is very much a west ham pub so I am not sure if anyone knows the area what they could suggest..

One team in Essex

Doing the conga down the Barking Road?

You sad sad man, i think i would give you a slap if i saw you doing that for the pure embarrasment it would cause the rest of us.

Actually your right theres nothing more I like doing than the conga down the barking road, what I love to do is hold the bloke in front of me really tight then push my willy in his bottom, try it , its disgustingly fun!!

To add a bit of flavour to the night I think we should get Nick (South Upper Big Fat Shouty Bloke in the "Maher" shirt ) to lead the community singing like he did in the Coach and Horses at Orient the other year. He could start with his solo rendition of "We hate West Ham, we hate West Ham." Should go down really well.

I can't wait for this match. Fact is there are a lot of people who follow both clubs, myself included, and hopefully the atmosphere will be as memorable as it was eight years ago in the FA Cup. And West Ham are known for the occasional embarrassing cup slip up so fingers crossed there will be another one in August....

Southend4ever your first post starting this thread sounds a brilliant idea mate but i doubt we will get our own way their probs most people on a train i guess!!

I reckon you might find a few c2c staff feeling a bit unwell on this day, I for one will not be going to work  

Might be well enough for a trip to East London in the early afternoon for some alcoholic medicine!

I can also say that my brother in law-C2C guard and sister C2C~driver will more than likely be sick that day. :-)

Southend4ever why are you so adamant that there's going to be trouble at this game?

My dad was a West Ham seaso for many years and I went up there a few times if his mate couldn't make it (and if Southend were playing away!). West Hams just like any other club, if you want trouble and know where to look for it chances are you'll find it.

Most Southend fans will go to the match, have a top day and come home and that'll be the end of it so lay off the armageddon insinuations!
