GKing521 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Will there even be a game to play on the 5th. If there is you have to fancy us… Very tricky start to the season and if we don’t do well the pressure will be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think someone somewhere would've thought "Oldham travel in numbers away, especially if there's half a chance they'll be near the top of the league, lets NOT give them the smallest ground in the league for their last away game." Nah we will seal promotion at home to Rochdale on the 6th infront of a packed BP. Not sure how the fixtures fully get setup but I doubt it depends on stuff like how much they will take away from home in April when pushing for promotion.

JoeP Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 There's probably half a chance of Southend being on the tele, isn't there? Club in turmoil v HMS PTL is a good story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Given that a lot of Oldham fans used to excuse performances on the pitch due to bad ownership, then surely everyone is in agreement that we have the easiest opening game that we could have wished for...

Clubs are asked to fill a survey, so I'd imagine either club has requested certain fixtures. https://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/how-are-the-vanarama-national-league-fixtures-comp-76860 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosa Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Am I right in thinking there's an issue with Oxford City's ground and they're playing elsewhere this season?

Could be wrong but I don’t think so. 400 away tickets will be like rocking horse shit if we’re near the top though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimperama Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Southend fan here. It's a great opening day fixture for us but as you are aware we have massive financial issues. If the takeover gets completed we will likely sign quite a few players and I would expect close to a sell out. I'm sure you will bring a good away support, although our away capacity has been reduced by lack of maintainence by our chairman. You should get around 1100 tickets. The away end should hold 2400. So many fans are staying away until the chairman goes. The bloke is a parasite. Anyway. Hoping we meet on the 5th and you will get a warm welcome down on the Essex riviera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Looking at Chesterfield away it looks like they are selling season tickets in one half of the North Stand which normally houses away fans, if that's the case it will significantly reduce the away allocation, I'd expect us to take anywhere from 2000 to 3000 with a good start, I know they sometimes use a block of the East Stand for smaller followings so it will be interesting to see what we are offered.

Weirdly they seem to have blocked off part of a side stand and part of their North Stand, so I would guess they are the areas for away fans. So instead of giving away fans a stand, or part of a stand, they are allowing away fans to have parts of 2 stands. This would limit their capacity due to increased segregation, although it probably makes it easier to accommodate clubs with small followings.
