Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Ebbsfleet, Thursday 26th December, 15:00 k.o., NL

[Cricko]

Well I prefer the west so if anyone wants to swap e-ticket I may be interested

@Leeboy will be inconsolable if you can't get in The West Stand.

All I wanted for Christmas

Was a Southend United win

 

[Tinks]

All I want today is a win and a convincing win at that.
I don’t care how we play or what formation we play just the win please

 

[RHB]

Past two were at home, lost last season to Barnet 0-2. And then the season before Bromley 0-1.

Third time lucky then

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

A shot towards the goal is my wish this year. Doesn't have to be on target, jist in the general direction of Ebbsfleet's goal.

 

[Ricey]

Third time lucky then

Fingers crossed, one of my favourite games was a Boxing Day game. When we played Rushden and Diamonds 0-2 down at half time and we came back to win 4-2 a brace for Belgrave, Leon Cort and Tes Bramble with the others.

For a south stand season ticket holder it was a dream!

For a south stand season ticket holder it was a dream!

for an X block (as it was back then) season ticket holder it was a strain your neck nightmare

Lets face it, nothing short of a win is acceptable, anything above 3-0 is preferred.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

it’s a criminal that we are getting big crowds like that, against bottom of the league side.

Barnet, Dagenham and Gateshead are playing fun and entertaining football for under 2k crowds, it’s be nice if we swap our team and Maher, for their team and manager, as all managers and their players would love to play for Southend Utd, in front of near 8k crowds who would appreciate their attacking play …

And herein lies an opportunity

Agree. Must win, we're playing bottom of the table. No excuses

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

It’ll be interesting to see how the North Bank experiment goes. Will the Blue Voice stay in W block or will they be spread between two stands? Dunno about anyone else but after all the Christmas food/drink I’m actually looking forward to some fresh air and an afternoon at the football. A nice healthy win would be great to lift the mood round the place. Not fussed how we set up as long as we go for it.

I think unfortunately it was left a bit late for most that TBV were relocating to the North Bank so I would imagine most will be staying in W block.. I don’t disagree home fans should be in the north but it needs to be communicated in more time imo

Be interesting if those in the north have access to the burger and small bar.

If they do then surely those in the west can simply walk round the back to the north and join if they want

They will do as that area is part of the north bank. Those in the west probably won't unless they have the gates open and allow fans through.

Just check the tickets, not hard

There is no way the new food kiosk will give up the West stand for the North , it would be financial suicide atm.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Yeah because the stewards always check the tickets

 

[Jack_23]

Time for Kev to ditch his out of form favourites and give starts to the likes of Golding, KAF , Kendall .

Fair play. I was more thinking interms of be able to handle the demands from both stands.
