That's one issue out of the way, no word from the old bill yet though. Perhaps Ron has bunged them a few quid to shut up?

Fantastic effort, well done Blue Army:smile: but what is the car park like? Being disabled I can’t risk falling over on that slope? Many of the faithful are ambulant like me, parking and walking to the ground is a big issue!:unsure:

Agreed. This has been my issue all along.

Feel for the Walsall fans as well. They can't even come by train easily.

I usually park in Prittlewell Park will that be open? Sometimes I’ve used Nelson Road, I’d appreciate a heads up on what condition the areas are like for parking cheers:smile:

Ok no trains from Rayleigh, bus replacement only at present.
Anyone know if the civic centre car park is open?
Is there much snow on the ground in the town?
I'm determined to get to the game if it's on.
Thanks

Direct link to car park and charges here. http://www.southend.gov.uk/directory_record/352/civic_centre. It doesn't say it's closed on there. But can't guarantee that.
The snow around the ground varies, probably the same as where you are. Main roads are good, some side roads bad. The snow on the pavement is starting to slush up, although still frozen some places. So sensible foot wear is called for.

You just need a good handshake to convince a senior officer about his decision.

What an absolute stroke of masterclass from Ron if we win this game.

Spoken with one who is well prepared and coming over to C2C at West Ham - it's not THAT difficult.

Local official Mr Martin.......:winking:

 

[The Big Dady]

Just checked and the way to The Spread is clear, so game on! :winking:

 

[OldBlueLady]

I also think this is pretty disgraceful

I'm very impressed you have been able to get the image from that camera. How do you do that?

 

[Ricey]

Let’s hope all this negativity from their fans etc will play in our favour and we spank them.

E-I-E-I-E-I-O .................. perhaps a bit premature. Can't help wondering if the 90 minutes this afternoon will be a bit of an after thought now that we are on Page 21 of comments.

Anyone know how training has gone this week? :smile:

I would start with Fortune. Biggest changes might be on the bench.

What an absolute stroke of masterclass from Ron if we win this game.

Where is his spade?

Where is his spade?

At Fossetts?

One of those officials looks like he has just started shaving .............
