Southend fan in peace...need of help

[Bluesouthend]

Hello,as you all might know we (southend) have sold out all off our tickets for satudays game,I was wondering if I got a ticket in the home end and then asked a steward about just moving into the away end,would they do that?
Thank you

[Blackpool Shrimp]

No

South end been handed the north terrace. For Saturday increasing their ticket allowance by 600

[rochfordshrimper]

Hi all another Shrimper in Peace.

Looking forward to another exillerarting day on saturday, similar to the Swansea away dat finale when we went up from L1 and not like the Grimsby last day, when a draw saw us into the L2 play offs, the only succesful negotiation of the play offs we have managed. The Swansea fans we marvellous after the final whistle and I still look for their results on the back of that.

Anyway, just to give you an update on the ticket situation down here;

The first 1,700 tickets sold out early today and there is a list formed at SUFC containing 750 names so far.
Therefore the 600 terrace tickets extra that your club has kindly negotiated, I would expect to go tomorrow, with 150 people going to is out. Therefore for your attendance predictions should bank on 2,300 official away fans. A bit of grumpiness down here that there has been no season ticket holder priority, but that's our clubs issue, but a bumper pay day for you guys, and hopefully that's good news for any club at our level.

Just popped on to wish you all the best for the game on Saturday, whatever hapens, but it goes without saying what I'm hoping for. UTB

That's why we beat Wycombe, to boost the number of fans you'd bring!

You're on a fantastic run, seven wins on the trot. But we've won six out of the last six league games between us and you've never beaten us in the League. Hopefully it will be a cracking game.

Not only have we generously given you extra tickets but we have also arranged a fly by (weather permitting) abut 4:00 . Unfortunately we can't arrange a win, you will have to work very hard for that . Oh and tell Phil very Brown not to worry there are plenty of sunbed shops in the area for him to top up

Being outnumbered almost 2 to 1 at home , how embarrassing is that .

I know there are rules to adhere to, but it does seem crazy with people clambering for tickets they can't have, when there are 3000 empty places at our end.
As we are safe etc. I would give the Omega standers, seats in the PMG with a food & drink voucher, let them have it and take the money.

Waits for the fall out

In the negotiation period, can we have a deckchair with picnic table as well as a prawn sarnie? Am I pushing it to have a beer with a plastic glass, if yes deal is done!

Too far to walk in my condition and wont be able to see a bladdy thing, and if we're in hospitality no access.

[RedRedWine]

Move hospitality into the community block? I like your thinking Outsider.

Technically can you get a season ticket for the North Terrace? Isn't it an Omega or North Stand season ticket? If so the club aren't really relocating Berlin Wallers, they're just not opening it to home fans on Saturday. It's forecasted rain on Saturday; I'd assume most people would have gone in the Omega anyway.

Is there a kitchen in the community block to bake my oven chips

[shrimperama]

Thanks for the extra seats. It's nice to see a refreshing change and have a club excercise a little common sense.

My mate is going down the club this morning but I'm still not convinced I will get a ticket or even if I can get off work, but I'm working on it.

You always beat us but hopefully with you safe and probably be glad to see the back of another southern club we may just get by this time and we are in amazing form. The best in the country I believe.

Huge away support automatic promotion excellent form. What could go wrong?

You'll need to bring your own seats... and check the weather forecast!

[SolentShrimp]

A couple of years ago Shrimpers let the Shrimp fans into Roots Hall for a £Fiver.
I could have got that back too if I'd charged folk to use my binoculars to oggle the half-time entertainment.

[marky No.1]

What could go wrong?

Not leaving enough time to get the 5 miles from J34 to the stadium.
Bank Holiday, roadworks, Greyhound Bridge, Carlisle Bridge, Shrimp Roundabout.
How it will cope with an extra 500 vehicles going down Westgate

Set off at 6 if I were you, the M6 restrictions around Birmingham/Stafford go on forever too

M6 J35, A6 / Marine Rd to Broadway, left to Shrimp R'bout then Westgate. No roadworks, no bridges.

If you've got an NVQ3 in the use of Satnavs or remember how to read maps, M6 J35, Nether Kellet, Bolton-Le-Sands, Torrisholme, Shrimp R'bout then Westgate.

Approx. 7 miles further but if there's any traffic in Lancaster (there definitely will be) then they're quicker. I'd avoid the promenade, nothing on the Saturday that would need to close the road but it can be a very slow drive on a busy day.

Have you experienced the Carnforth Booths/Aldi /Tesco traffic lights on a Bank Holiday, Brian?
Agreed , it will be quicker than J34, but it won't be plain sailing.. Do you really expect strangers to find the Kellet/BLS route

[Gnasher]

Know it well on Bank Holidays but I've usually found the worse queues heading towards J35, not from it. Kellet/BLS isn't that bad at all. From the South, come off J35, take the exit just short of going back the way you came signed Kirby Lonsdale and Over Kellet Quarries. Right at the end, over the motorway, left. At the next 3 T-junctions it's right left right. At the lights, Left. Welcome to Morecambe.
