BBC showing the game is on Saturday 2nd November at 3PM, but nothing on O/S?
That’s what Southend have, but I think it’s just the default until TV confirm their picks & then the clubs get to agree. Southend mate reckons they’ll confirm tomorrow and highly unlikely any chance of getting more than the 800 expected.

It’s the FA Cup. Having at least 15% of the capacity given over to away fans boosts the chances of a better atmosphere. Clubs that can’t accommodate that simple requirement in their existing away stands should simply give over another stand to the away team instead of using it for their own fans. That, or either concede home advantage or dont enter the competition in the first place.

Or request, and gain, an exception approval for reduced away support due to ground safety issues. Not clever, but it may happen.

For anyone willing to gamble on getting a match ticket, Greater Anglia are selling open return tickets on their app and website for Liv St to Southend trains for £12. Pretty sure the offer was meant to close yesterday, but is still showing today.

Sounds like you're expecting a big crowd?
I reckon it will be around the 7k mark, as it's a been a while since we've we've reached the 1st round proper. If you're feeling a bit anal, this routine from our fans board pulls ticket sales stats from the SUFC Public Servers. It shows sales so far, including away sales. It's not 100% accurate, but it's pretty close. There's a drop down menu for games listed.

Southend get bigger crowds than some league one sides, so with their reduced capacity these days i think this will be close to a sell out.
