Hopefully Sittingbourne fans come down and buy in the home end more revenue for the club

That’s just reminded me of Mahers latest dumb decision v Fylde.
Decisions to make - for Southend United boss Kevin Maher (Image: FOCUS IMAGES)
By Chris Phillips. Chief sports reporter.
SOUTHEND United boss Kevin Maher is keen to sign a new goalkeeper ahead of tomorrow’s FA Trophy tie against Sittingbourne.
With Collin Andeng Ndi sidelined with a hamstring issue, Nathan Harness - who is on a month long loan from MK Dons - is Blues’ only option between the sticks this weekend.
And Maher is looking to make another signing.
“Yes, we’re still looking of course,” said the Shrimpers boss when asked about the goalkeeping situation.
“With Collin injured it means we’re going to have to push on and we know it’s an area we need to look at.”
Maher is believed to have held talks with one target but looks set to be without Andeng Ndi for a considerable amount of time.
The shot-stopper injured his hamstring in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Dagenham & Redbridge and scans have now shown up the seriousness of the setback.
“He’s had a scan on his hamstring and it looks like he will be out for a period now,” said Maher.
“It looks like it’s going to be a longer one.”
However, Andeng Ndi will not be Blues’ only absentee as centre-back Adam Crowther remains sidelined with a knee problem along with midfielder Cav Miley who has injured his ankle.
“Crowths is going to be out for at least another few weeks,” said Maher.
“He will have to go back in and have another scan to see where it is, probably in the middle of next month.
“Cav has gone to have a check up today so we’ll know more after that but hopefully it won’t be too bad.”
Miley missed Tuesday night’s 2-0 win against AFC Fylde at Roots Hall, in a game which saw Macauley Bonne taken off at half-time due to illness.
And Maher is not yet sure if the striker will be well enough to feature this weekend.
“Macca had to come off with an illness at half-time the other night,” said Maher.
“It was getting progressively worse throughout the first half.
“That was disappointing but it gave Hops (Tom Hopper) the chance to come on.
“We’ll have to wait and see closer to Saturday how Macca is and if he can play.
“He’s been ill and we’ve got one or two bits of illness around the place so we’ve got to be careful.”
Blues’ new midfielder Leon Chambers-Parillon is cup-tied for the contest having played for Slough Town in a previous round.
It is always quite possible that your keeper will get injured or red-carded,so with 7 substitute places, one should surely have been young Charlie Brown !

"open up part of the West Stand to avoid Sittingbourne’s fans’ disappointment."
What about the disappointment of our own supporters?

Don't really see that is a problem. Brown played the day before. I know it is fashionable to question every decision Kevin makes, so carry on.
The **** is going on? We’ve now got away fans spread across opposite ends of our stadium, whilst half of it remains closed? For a cup game no less, where we’re just 3 wins from a day out at Wembley?
**** me.
Feels like a decision that’s been reached after a heavy glue-sniffing session.

Of course it's a potential problem for the reasons stated, amply illustrated by an early red card and a keeper going off injured in the first half already this season. An avoidable risk.

So they section off the bottom of the car park so that home and away fans don't mix, now that the idiots are organising this they are going to have Sittingbourne fans trying to find their entrance in Shakespear Drive

Who has decided that this is a good idea.
Surely the easiest and simplist solution would have been to relocate all home fans in into the west or south upper and just give them the north bank.
Allowing away fans in two parts of the ground is a terrible decision.
This has disaster written all over it

I understand not wanting home/away fans mixing in the car park (to a degree) but my problem with their method is that they’ve decided to keep us apart using a 3ft tall barrier.
It’s just weird.

I going to stick up for the club a little bit here
No-way in a million years did anyone else believe Sittingbourne would sell more than 500 tickets for this match
Well done to Sittingbourne here
Maybe they should Open the W/X blocks in the West Stand for the home fans now
Its looking likely we see 5000 plus gate now IMHO

I knew it would be a big cup game for them . Sittingbourne not too far down the road from me and I lived there for a time a. You could sense the build up and so I predicted early a while back they would bring 1000, Seemed fairly obvious, despite their lowly home crowds
Wouldnt it be a response like us being drawn away to a top Premier club?
