Question Valentine Day's Tickets ~ Potential massacre!!!

[watchtheballboys]

I just love the innovative ideas the guys at SUFC come up with for increasing the crowds and raising extra cash for the club...... The latest is the 'VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL'.

How it works is any season card holder can purchase an additional ticket for their loved one at half-price!

WOW what a fantastic idea.......or is it?

Well bearing in mind season card holders have an allotted seat and invariably there is little or no seating available within kissing distance you stand the chance of a very romantic ocassion with you in the East stand and your loved one in the West stand!

Imagine the wonderful gestures flying from one side of the ground to the other!

No doubt if you broach this stupendous offer to your loved one they will be struck dumb with it's brilliance then proceed to have a unilateral 'discussion' with you for between 30-45 minutes with a detailed explanation as to why it may not be such a good idea!

Those going through marital separation may find the enforced separation quite an attractive proposition but for most in a reasonable relationship I imagine the likelyhood of keeping your man danglies for much longer is unlikely.

The alternative is to start a hasty affair with the person sitting near you in the hope that you may take advantage of this spectacular offer and then it is likely they already have a season card!

Having spoken to the ticket office they did say in fairness they 'may' be able to move couples so they can sit together. Well at least they seemed to have thought that part out although they were not that convincing on the phone!

So Valentine's Day could with this excellent offer turn into a St. Valentine's Day MASSACRE!!!!

Beware!

Why waste a good day out at the footies, with your wife sitting next you going on about the offside rule. Id rather keep my marriage and sanity and go on my own. I have to spend enough money as it is buying flowers and chocolate. Lets keep football sacred..

Leave them at home!!!!

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Lucky I sit next to my other half then, aint it!

Funny how some people are sexist when it comes to taking their better halfs to footie :p

I'd never take my woman to a football game.

Why in the flip's name not? Mrs MK has been converted to the cause.

Indeed, only last night the missus was asking me if I thought Tilly and Brush would stay if we went down. I told her to stop talking and shortened the chain to the sink










(joking!)

Beware!

I thought it was fairly straightforward to move people. My mate investigated this before his son went to uni. If his son was around for a game, 3 of us ST holders could move so he could sit with us.

The STH next to me is taking his girlfriend :|. Not a great valentines day present but it depends who you are.

 

[bucket&spade.f.c]

This ain't just for your parnters you can take anyone you want am getting my mate(s) tickets, its a good idea as some people who don't normaly go my get hooked (prob not tho) so this one cheap game could turn into 3,4 maybe 5 or even a season ticket all money at the end of the day.

You're lucky MK, I managed to convert Mrs Moridin into the world of football last year, she was inspired to support her home town club of Oldham Athletic, just in time for them to beat us at Roots Hall.

Now, rather then her leaving me alone when football things are going on, I get berated by this not a full season Oldham supporter about them being above us, and beating us this year as well.

Along with the odd note stuck to my Southend stuff containing such witty comments as 'We're higher than you', 'Southend are a bunch of southern softies', 'Bet Mahers glad he plays for a good team' and so forth.

The one thing I am hoping is that they don't beat us to send us down on the last day.

I may have to lock her in the outhouse.

I took the lass, to her first southend game, v Notts Forest, during our title winning year. She is from Nottingham, and thought it would be a good choice for her first match. Unfortunately, "nottingham, W**k, W**k W**k", plus a series of other anti-notts chants spoiled the occassion for her.
If she is into football anyway, especially the blues, then no problem. Otherwise, its to be avoided

Absolutely right about being sexist! Wouldn't dream of dragging my other half along, he'd just sit there moaning about being cold, unable to smoke, no room to move, never having seen Southend win (reason enough on its own not to bring him!), the team not playing football like he used to and how he could be at home on the computer!

incidently, I took my missus to Brentford away a few years ago when it fell on Valentines Day (Tuesday night match). We were terrible, Barrett played at left-back, Goater had a nightmare and we lost 2-0. However she loved it, and is always up for coming to watch the blues play. Sometimes it makes you appreciate that even if the blues aren't playing well, there isn't much better than being on the terraces and supporting your local team... even on valentines day!
