Southend Supporter's Month
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano
Looks like somebody was tasked with creating content for April and came up with this idea. Hope it sparks some interest in what the south is doing.
(Insert standard "I can't stand Tribal Rhythm Nation when they do show up but thank God they only showed up for 1 and a half games last year so lets just let untouched drums lie" remark here)
i posted this on a facebook argument about TFC a couple weeks back, i'll post it here..
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF YOU WERE HERE SINCE YEAR ONE.
I ONLY CARE THAT YOU'RE HERE NOW.
we're all here for the same reason. we support our club.
fuck the politics, fuck the bullshit, fuck the egos.. we're all a bunch of crazy bastards.
i'm excited to see what they produce about the groups.
it'll only serve to bring more folks into the fold, and hopefully that'll translate into voices in the stands.

Has anyone seen the TFC homepage yet?
Take a look for yourself if you haven't.

Will there be a North, East and West appreciation month?
Lol *runs*
It is a useful exercise to once in a while take a seat in different parts of the stadium, it is surprising how different the experience is in each area.
GENIUS
a nomadic supporters group! THE NOMADS!

LOL!
I hope this month goes well, many people have put a ton of hard work into it.
This alone will not fix everything, only winning is a universal solution but if this encourages some people to move or consider moving south or if it increases the noise in the stadium it will be a success.
With the Kings of the North moving south, I assume 127 is no longer a supporter section?
Its interesting that in the 9th year of TFC, and with the groups that have come and gone we don't have any group setting up behind goal in 115. That gap in front of the seats has never helped.
Wait, what? Is there yellow price point availability for tix? Or am I mis-interpreting this?
I don't think its any secret that the groups get access to tickets. Now that all recognized groups are in the south we are working together to get support in one area.
Relocations are done, but there are opportunities to add new or get partial seats.

It should be noted that in the SSH extra ticket sale going on, I couldn't get even a couple of yellow coloured tickets for any game.
The wife and I had to settle for 110 for our annual date.
Good on the club
and FUCK Colchester!
We look like a European parliament.
God bless the club for giving a collective month long rub down and ego tug. I'll wake up in May with a cigarette lit feeling refreshed, needed, feared, respected and ready to tackle the season.
waaayyyyyy back when.....
I was snapping photos of the under construction stadium. At the time, even the offices at BMO were just stacks of cinder blocks, so the office staff was at the ACC watching the photos come in like everyone else. U-Sector was originally looking at going to 115, as the 'behind the net' location was really appealing to them. But after the photos of the Gap came out, along with confirmation from TFC staffers who had seen the blueprints, they decided 113 was a more suitable home base. RPB was a much smaller group then, so we moved into 112 thinking it would be a good fit. Turns out, we were right.

Looks like they need more pricing tiers in the new section.
I do kinda remember that way back when, talking about the "gap"...also remember stumbling upon the red patch board and your photos, it was all so unknown & exciting at the time.
wtf!!! Too bad we don't have any April home games. May should be south end appreciation month.
I think it is more about the build up to the home game.
and getting everyone unified and ready to go when May finally rolls around.
"Settle" for 110? If you're sitting in the right area, you'll have a great date!It should be noted that in the SSH extra ticket sale going on, I couldn't get even a couple of yellow coloured tickets for any game.

I don't know the context but I agree with the sentiment,
ESSEX IS BLUE
I see somebody else was looking at the thread title and wondering.
To be fair Phil, (and yeah I'm a "registered user" not a "member" etc. etc. etc.), I'm not sure that particular process is that well known outside of the members only area.
Ever since Freddy Eastwood, I respectfully disagree.
Damn Southend.
Always been a perk to membership
Believe its also shown on the membership thread every year i believe?
Agreed, its hard to communicate it outside of the members area but its been posted, probably not seen.
The supporters groups in the south have access to tickets that are held back during relocation and end of season people who drop them. We get priority access and distribute / relocate them among members.
