For those of you attending this evening, Smiffish informs me that it looks a soggy one.

Rain due just in time for KO and lasting most of the game. The surface certainly won't need watering. Few quid saved for COSU.

Well i hope you all wont be singing slip sliding away unless its for a defeated Easleigh. But seriously we do get some diabolical threads on here , some people need to wake up and smell the Roses , we are and will be until we get promoted a National League Club and these tinpot clubs as some of you refer to them have every right to be playing against us , they have earned that right and should be respected.

Sorry but gateshead are even smaller then Eastleigh.I only count former football league clubs with decent support,one thing I can guarantee is we will be above little gateshead come the end of the season.Sorry but I can't stand these little tin pot clubs,they have no right to even be on the same pitch as us.

Don't worry you may not have long to wait. When Man City are demoted to th NL next season, due to financial irregularities, we'll be able to play against , at least, one side you would consider as our equals!

I know you're just trolling but as Ron Martin would say "We won't be in the same league as Gateshead for much longer"

5584 sold for tonight so far according to the ticket stats. , so definitely a big drop from our last few games, but that it Tuesday nights for you.

Looking like being our lowest attendance of the season tonight, by some distance. Lucky to get 6,250 by the looks of it - which is brilliant by historical standards, and for this league, but not so good compared to our other home attendances this season.

A few like me with season tickets will be counted but won't be there

In the spirit of SZ I have to disagree; after all, they are only the second best team in Manchester and we are indisputably bigger than Southend Manor, so no.....they are not quite our equals.

 

[Texas Eslan]

Im actually feeling very positive for this game after a difficult couple of weeks. The arrival of the two new players last week was a boost and to add Bonne to that is a very nice addition. Therefore I’m going for a 2-0 Southend win with Moncur running the show from midfield.

Sorry back, but Gateshead have a decent squad.
If you mean 'small' as in gates and backing: correct. But watching their highlights a few times, they are going to put a few sides to the sword, and if we do finish above them we will have done well.

Similar positive vibes here but I suspect it might take some games before we are firing on all cylinders.

Can't help thinking that Eastleigh will have a dip in form at some point. Would be nice if that dip were to start at 7:45 this evening.

Hope we beat this lot,can't stand these little clubs with no supporters.They have got off to a good start but they haven't really played anyone decent yet.I fancy us to win tomorrow

That's pretty much everyone in this league. Have no idea why you hate them though because of that. We are the odd ones out in this league, not them.

 

[Cricko]

Moncur looks a real character.
