cup of tea Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Relief - the way our season has gone I fully expected VCD to nick a goal in the last minute. Awful ref, pitch not the best and their goalkeeper had a blinder. First half think we edged it second half we increasingly put the pressure on. Well done hx, George deserved that goal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urchinman1961 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 morale of this game was keep battling for 90 minutes, on another day George would of had about 5 goals their keeper was outstanding,downside crowd 112, good entertainment just need to get a run together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Excellent result, we had the edge once we scored. Looking round the ground today it was pretty shocking how few people are coming to watch us. It seemed like half the crowd was standing in the singing section of the eastside. I still feel as enthusiastic, so am wondering what it is that is making some people not fancy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin norman Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Great result for your lot in a real 6 pointer which makes the crowd of 112 unbelievable! ! without being disrespectful my mrs has got more handbags than that !

bridgefan Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Phew! Well done to the team and their keeper who was outstanding Good job that the atrocious, random decision making, referee didn't cost us in the end - some of the decisions were farcical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 yes the ref was very inconsistant and his decisions couldve cost us dearly. however we fought hard and got a reult we very much needed. Well done all. hopefully onwards and upwards now?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimper Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 a hard earned 3 pts but best team on the day won and even though pitch was in bad shape we did try and play a bit of football at times... 112 ? a mix of things a poor season in the league and a general loss of interest , bad weather i was in 2 minds if the game would be once the snow started around 2.15 as many games had been cancelled already plus daggers crowd was bigger than normal as it was the annual adults £2.50 kids 50p game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Weather, league position and in particular the Dagenham effect certainly had a big influence on the attendance. I reckoned on about 130-140 when I got to the Eastside, knew it was going to be bad. Unless you're Maidstone/Dulwich/Margate then crowd levels are going to be an issue for all the clubs in the RPL.

Eastside Urchin Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 There's no life in the place. Even 2 years ago,we had a lively forum,people talked about football,plenty of input,just like most other decent clubs. Now.....we have a forum only a handful of people visit because it's deemed no good anymore so people don't bother posting on it,hence people don't seem to chat about away games,look forward to home games,even get any info....I said this would happen but no one listens. Fans of football clubs like to talk about their club,stopping fans doing so only ends up one way......yes,being down the bottom doesn't help and the weather doesn't help and dagenham and the opposition doesn't help but a crowd of 112,didn't think I would see that on a Saturday mid season again.

obis Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Honestly, I along with a hundred or so have not been on the Forum for ages or indeed to The Bridge. In my opinion there are a few reasons for this, some of which have been mentioned before. Problem is, does anyone care? We are in the competitive entertainment sector. I'm thinking, its about time I went so what about this Saturday? Just checking and I can see Spurs v Arsenal and Liverpool v Everton live on TV. Doesnt help does it?

shrimper Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 i think it just about somes up the feeling around the place standing in the freezing cold at half listening to '' i dont like cricket i love it '' playing over the P.A , and despite comments made , debate on a forum good or bad doesnt stop people going to games its all about making things interesting , with my other club the main forum the '' shrimperzone '' makes any negative comments on here seem like play school stuff and believe me thats even after southend have won 2 or 3-0 but the crowds keep going up and the forum is buzzing everyday........

aka PeteBeatz Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 112, well the reason is simples, Our club never seems to be far away or associated with controversy. Every time this happens more fans desert. It's very sad when people work there socks off to keep the club alive and then the club shoots itself in the foot. As much as I love my club at times I am embarrassed by the club badge 'A GOOD NAME ENDURRATH' should be 'SHOOTIS INIS FOOTIS'. I have never said anything negative before on this forum but after a recent incident a few weeks ago its testing my loyaliy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
