But they are our friends.... why would the Police be concerned.

[Andy_Porter]

Rubbish

[Scummer]

Southend games normally get moved when West Ham are at home, but there's no Premiership that weekend. It's not even due to the England game, as they are away on the Saturday in Croatia.

[Red And White Barmy Army]

would someone care to enlighten me as to the police's concerns? do we have a history with them??

[SaintDonkey]

Thats just really annoying, I was looking forwards to a nice day out

 

Still doable for me (from London) but no time for a pre-match pint.

[Nolan]

probably worried that rival fans would take advantage of an International weekend where they don't have a game and travel to Sarfend for some trouble....

FFS! Another day going to be needed booking off work for this one!

[StuRomseySaint]

Been moved due to how many SFC fans were absolutely hammered last time we played them. Have never seen so many completly wasted Saints fans in one place before! They even banned anyone from Southampton drinking in any pub or club In Southend in the evening.

 

So, that's why it's been moved.

Alas! you seem to be getting a fizzy pop chave reputation:D

Best you get your arses back to the Prem before your knuckles start dragging.

[StuRomseySaint]

Well I for one am not going to let the OB win. We are going to take te Friday off work and drink twice as much. Power to the people!

 

Good to see our new Cat C Rep putting us in with Leeds as the only 2 fixtures the police have moved.

Ha ha yeah I know why. A huge majority were completely arseholed on that sunny day. They don't get much noise in an around their ground hardly ever. (I watch Stockport play there too.) Also one of their stewards picked on a young Saints lad last time then it all kicked off.

9th october thats me birthday....

[Big John]

Maybe it's not Saints fans that are the concern.

 

The police have also moved their games against Charlton, Millwall, Orient, Leeds and Gillingham to Friday night games, their Boxing Day game against Colchester has also been changed to a 1pm kick-offl.

Welcome to the world of the lower league hooligans people. To be fair I think that Southend did used to have a notoriously bad reputation back in the seventies too, so maybe the idiot gene has skipped a generation?

Was looking forward to this. Nice they went and moved it to my sister's wedding day.
