[Harry Haddock]

You'll get a nice tour around rural Lincolnshire on that train back, a shame it will be dark.

 

I'm sure there will be a few Mariners around the train station and in The High Street. There's a new found optimism around the club at the minute after our 5th successive league win at Cambridge last night. I would have originally thought there would only be around 1500 there on Saturday but I'd now say there should be in excess of 2000.

 

You've got to introduce yourself to us Harry, you've been really helpful on here.

 

I'm working until 1pm on Saturday morning but will be in The Blundell Park Hotel, directly across the road from the McDonalds outside the ground from around a quarter to 2 so if any of you are in there I'll probably see you then.

Haddock, what's the policy (serving times wise mostly) on drinking in the clubhouse?

 

(R - not my question btw)

[DiamondGeezer]

How long is the walk from the ground to the station or is it worth driving straight to the station?

obviously is yours...

[Harry Haddock]

We don't have a clubhouse as such but there is a bar in the away end. As for the walk from the station to the ground you can either go straight down the main road from The High Street or alternatively you can go along the seafront down the side of the railway line and then over the footbridge which bring out at the rear of the ground. Either was I'd say it was a brisk 15-20 minute walk or a 30 minute drunken stumble.

Taken from their forum

 

Will be either a tight 2-0 with them giving us a real good go, or 5/6-1 with us getting 2 early goals and knocking the stuffing out of them!

 

can see about 300 hornchurchers? coming though and singing non stop!

 

Lets live up to expectations please

Haddock, do they allow away supporters in the club shop? Want to pop in there before kick off and buy a badge.

I'm already starting to get the smell of something fishy. Gonna have to bring some of my smelly meats for a four hour trip.

Forgive my ignorance but at the moment I have three shirts ready to wear on Saturday, the red/white stripes, the purple and my Paok black/white stripes, Which should I wear?

Well said Harry!!

 

Btw Thomson, since your going by train you have to go back home by train.

No sneaking onto the coach, especially not after the incident after Lewes away!!!

If you wear black and white in the away end, then your looking for trouble! Best with the red/white or purple or white.

Depending on the weather you may want to consider wearing both!

Mr Haddock, there may be a few Hornchurch supporters that would like to purchase a badge, for our collections!

Think by now we must be on first name terms with Harry, Annie. But I'd like a badge too.

When the draw was made i thought there would be around 300,there may still be but working it out i am not sure there is too many more than 150

we have around 75 travelling up with the club,around 40 by train that i know about and quite a few 50 plus by car.

These are the ones we know about though,there are usually 40-50 others who come out of the woodwork for the bigger games away so 2-250 would be a better estimate but who knows.

Yes, no problem. The club shop is at the front of the ground next to the ticket office.

Will we have to go to the ticket office first? Or do you sell tickets on the turnstiles
