Pre-Match Thread Southend United vs Walsall FC

[Uncle Leo]

For those planning to go today and haven't got a ticket yet, I see that the club our selling tickets at the advanced price, not the matchday prices, which is another bonus.

That's a great gesture; well done SUFC.

Noticed that helpers who assisted to clear the pitch at Carlisle received free match tickets in exchange.

Do we know if those that helped this morning also got the same?

We got coffee, shortbread biscuits, croissants, and Greggs sausage rolls (served by Ron Martin, still warm).

Does Kites risk playing in such conditions? heavy and slippy pitch with very cold temp? to me that reads a high chance of aggravating any slight remains of injury?

With the pitch being covered and the temps up I'm sure the pitch won't be any worse than normal. However I'd be surprised if Kights starts - simply because how Harrison and Ladapo showed up in the Pompey game. It would be tough on either of them to be dropped for someone feeling their way back into match fitness.

Excellent gesture by the club

Why didn't they say that sausage rolls were available? .. And Greggs no less! :cool:

Just checking...we are playing Walsall and not Warsaw are we not given the great concern for away supporters travelling to a 3pm KO during the football season......?

It’s ‘how’ he kept them warm that you need to worry about !

Huge credit to the club and the brilliant fans who helped out at the ground today to get this on. Well done. Now it's the guys on the pitch to return the favour. COME ON SOUTHEND!!!!

Made it in and roads were fine - Prittlewell Chase had loads of spaces - yay! UTB

Ha - not being a meat eater I didn't partake. I was waiting for the cheese and onion slices to surface but alas, no show.

Seen some Walsall fans complaining saying we're desperate for the game to go ahead as we're losing 30k a week. I know we lose money a week but, pretty sure it isn't that high.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Some whingy Walsall fans on Twitter moaning it's not safe for them to travel..... :facepalm:

So did you :winking:

 

[Barling Magna]

I just know what's going to happen. Heroic efforts will allow the match to be played. And then we'll go and lose.

There, I've said it. So it won't happen.

What have I done............. darn it.
