Obviously based on a) Our closeness to Millwall, being tarred with the same brush. b) When we were there before and Curbs got all lairry and sent to the stands.
So instead of peeps getting there at mid day and drinking till 14.30, they will take the day off get there at 12.30 and drink till 19.00 this is the true meaning of police intelligence.
As I said on the other post about this, well about away fixtures
I suspect It'll be more to do with west ham playin at home on the sat and southend don't play at home on the same day, because apparently all west ham fans are also southend fans?!
They've also had their fixtures against Leeds, Scumwall, Southampton and Colchester moved to Friday evenings. So annoying - does anyone know why? Is it because it's seen as a potential trouble fixture, or because West Ham are at home the same day?
[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]West Ham are away on the Saturday.
Doesn't make sense, why was it not announced with the other 5 Southend games moved to Friday night ?
Only logic i can see is Southend are pushing for Friday night fixtures and using the guise of 'police advice'.
Oh right maybe as is the same in southend as throughout the south, friday nights in towns are dead quiet, saturdays are still busy, in order to make the town more money move all bigish games to friday nights so people stay over in the town, being a late game, whereas a sat afternoon game everyone leaves and goes home
Absolute dickheads, police advice my arse... how can Southend move half their bloody games to a Friday night for every local/'big' club in the division? Police advice... yeah so by that Millwall will k/o at about 7am Easter Sunday then?
Surely the league should look into this?
Gonna make it hard to get down from Sheffield now without some time off... thanks a bunch.

To be fair Southend is more busy on a Friday night!
No problem what so ever. I'll go straight from work & the worst scenario is the last train from Southend at 23:12 (to Fenchurch Street) then the 00:56 from London Bridge! Simples!

Tranmere do the same apparently because they cant play at home when liverpool or everton are playing at home and since liverpool and everton both cant play at home at the same time it doesnt give them much option. We are playing tranmere on a saturday because everton's home game has been moved to the sunday.
Tranmere do it because playing on a saturday when Liverpool or Everton are at home impacts on their attendances. But as has already been stated, West Ham are away on the saturday, so that's not really a reason for Southend.
