No. I'm in no position to sneer at anyone.

I'll also be there tomorow.

I'm more concerned with doing our best to move up the table and back to where we belong in the EFL.

Imagine a bunch of Southport cloggers smash Pepple or the like and put him out for the season for a pony cup. The whole point of having a squad is to use them and minimise the risk in lesser games and not risk players we don't have to.

I really don't get your stance here. Far from a 'Pony Cup'. A great opportunity for us to reach a final which we should try and do.

I agree that we should rotate the squad but still have the hard hitters on the bench.

If you were referring to the Essex Senior Cup I'd understand but not this Trophy. It's a serious competition. Far from being a 'Pony Cup'.
 
Surely the word has got around about Pepple by now and he will literally be a target for defenders from now on as Southend's dangerman and key striker. It will be interesting to see how he handles the windups and aggression he will face now he is no longer an unknown quantity in this league. A key stage in his development over the rest of the season.

fully agree with this. this cup could be the only piece of success we could have this season as getting the playoffs looks very tough but a day out at Wembley would be amazing.

Southport have sold just over 100. The other 500+ are our sales in the NB. Should be able to get a bit of atmosphere going with those numbers and hardcore fans in there.

That's what I thought. Good numbers and certainly better than having fans in the Southbank.

One hopes that the 500 odd that have chosen to go in there are doing so because they want to generate an atmosphere, not just sit down and not back the team.

Wow, big dilemma for me and her then. Our days of being hardcore are probably past us now and although we always contribute to atmosphere. my days of full time stand up are long gone, I fall over. I bought tickets in the North as I couldn't get any in the East, so we will sit down, we will back the team and thank you for the warm welcome to the North Stand.

Bit of a TWILIGHT ZONE moment. Got a new calendar,Vintage Railway Posters. Turned to October (my birthday) and it shows a rather attractive steam train with the heading, Cheshire Light Railway and the strap line at the bottom reads "The pleasure route to Southport". !!!!!!

Well I remember Colchester getting laughed at by our supporters for being in non league and saying they had won the FA trophy.

Now, we've been in non league longer than out 6 fingered friends and are getting excited about the FA trophy.

I just want to get back into the EFL and actually leave the trophy well and truly behind.

Does that mean I don't want us to progress in this year? No, I'd love us to progress and win something, I just wish we werent part of it.
 
North Bank for me and a couple of the boys tomorrow- relive the old days, hopefully a bit of atmos but most importantly better leg room than the poxy East!

Hornchurch, Canvey Islands and Grays Athletic say “hold my beers”, “we have made the final and won the FA Trophy”

I like us to make the final at Wembley, there is no reason we can do both, in FA Trophy and Play Off Final.
