You'd think in their financial situation they would welcome as many visiting fans as possible - not put obstacles in the way of going

Right, I went in the Southend shop today because I wanted to get a ticket for my spurs supporting mate which I could'nt get from Queens road because (obviously) he is not on our database and I GOT ONE FOR HIM from the returns.
I can't say whether this is because I just rocked up on my own and only wanted one ticket and that this was not the policy for others BUT the bloke just said "no problem" so I suppose they will sell spares on the day. I can't guarantee it but I reckon that, seeing that they need to raise £400k by Wednesday,they will be too fussy.
As for policing they gave us an allocation of 2000 so presumably the OB will have been geared to that number. I doubt that the cops just ring up on the day and ask "how many officers do you need?"
Southend is not the f***ing Nou Camp is it.

f***ing tin pot club. No wonder there in the shit financially with f***ing stupid decisions like this. Assuming it's because they don't have the capital to pay for extra ticket staff it's still a pox decision. Let's say 2 extra staff at the ticket office selling tickets to us on the day. They would probably work from 12 till just before kick off. But for arguments sake we'll say 3 hours. The staff ain't gonna get any more than 30 quid each for there efforts so that's hypothetically a £60 outlay. They would have to sell 3 tickets then to break even
any more than that is profit. I guess we'd take an extra 300-400 if it were pay on day. That's potentially an extra 8k added to the games ticket sales. It's simple business acumen and I'm far from a entrepenuer. f***ing stupid Essex wankers. Hope they go bust

In the old days they made games all ticket if they were worried about trouble. brighton have caused trouble at Southend lots of times, some of it very bad troouble and so expect that is why they made it all ticket. They know the albion have a large and at time problematic following away. Can in this instace see their point, but agree that in general thre should be no restrictions to turning up angd getting in. If there are then it puts me off as you can just turn up with friends who are no albion fans

It did indeed. the ground was much different there and rival gangs roamed the terraces.
The train home was 'interesting' with a rape allergation and loads of police at every station. At one we were all made to get off for an ID parade and at another the locked all the carriage doors, ne 'elf & safety back then!
In London there were loads of OB to see us off the train and this was shown on the national news, just as i was getting home. bit interesting when Dad is watching the news!
It's been listed as not POTD for at least a week and the club have given reminders, if you REALLY wanted to go i'm sure you could have brought a ticket easily, the very eage 9 year old only has you to blame for thinking you could leave it till the last minute.

Nice to see your boys are coming down in numbers again but lets be honest if you have to watch football week in and week out in that ridiculous excuse for a stadium then away games are essential.
As for us not having any money, well your hardly mr current affairs . Tax bill is paid and new stadium starts in june/july.
Enjoy your trip sorry but we have to take all 3 points today.

Did you have to cover your faces and drop your trousers in the ID parade? Or just breather deeply?

Yeah about as original as saying we are all chavs who drive suped up motors and wear kappa gear.
There is no love lost between our clubs and lets be honest there are not many outside of brighton who are upset when you lose as your fans act disgracefully on the road.
That said if you let us have 3 vital points today well be happy and if we lose and face relegation then things could get tasty.

"tasty" FFS, it's not 1985 you know, and as for no love lost, well in all honesty I can think of about 20 clubs I'm more bothered about than you guys. Maybe it's a bit of a chip-on-the-shoulder, one way thing: unrequited love or hate is just so humiliating, isn't it? And it's not even like we have that much (for now) for you guys to be envious of (though give us a year) so I don't know why you hate us so much.
That said, I won't mind if you go down, because Southend is always a bit of a grotty trip, a crappy ground and we have a tendency to lose there over the years. Nothing personal though. I just want to win football matches and don't want to go to Southend to see them.
