Thurrock sunk at ship lane

[urchinman1961]

Well we saved the best till last well still one game to go monumental performance from back to front got about them early and they never really recovered the margin could have been more I forgive Thurrock for taking 4 points off us this season as its counted for nothing another massive mountain to climb but never say never this is Hornchurch we are talking about

[aka PeteBeatz]

MIGHTY URCHINS !!!

[romford boy]

Fair result and Thurrock was never really in it for the whole ninety minutes.

[cup of tea]

Jimmy got his tactics right and the players responded to the challenge. Some nervy moments but I believe that we deserved this victory.

Harlow hasn't been a good hunting ground for us in the past but I think more of the same for the next game and keep the ball away from Harlow's excellent centre-half and I think we've got a good chance.

 

Well done to everyone. One more game to win.

[cup of tea]

Do we know if there will be segregation for the final? I don't expect any trouble whatsoever but when we were at Lowestoft, we (Hornchurch) couldn't get to see the second half as the Lowestoft fans covered the whole perimeter of the ground. I think as it's a final and we will probably bring a few and the Harlow home support was excellent last night, there's a possibility of the crowd maybe edging towards 1000

I would think crowd might be nearer  1,500 or so if they got over 800 for cray on a Wednesday night ., at the  Lowestoft game it didn't feel too safe at times during the match ( and a bit after the game) where we was watching from  if you made any mention of Hornchurch a few threats flying about etc if Hornchurch had won on the day I think a few of the locals would have had even more to say, having our own area for the final would be good  and easier to get behind the team  

[Burdy]

I think that the Lowestoft game the crowd far exceed the capacity for their ground and there was no effective stewarding I think and hope this game will be a different matter and cannot see problems with Harlow

At the moment there is NO SEGREGATION at Harlow.

 

We will let everyone know if this changes.

 

As far as Lowestoft is concerned, their ground was completely inadequate for the crowd they had, but this is not the case at Harlow, where they have more terracing.

[Wivenhoe Urchin]

It has to be said that the behaviour of Harlow fans and locals was excellent, though im not sure what happened in the scrap near the dugouts.

 

I enjoyed it more than the lowestoft game, which was awkward and unfortunate, some home fans there just turned round when they scored and cheered in your face!

[cup of tea]

I hope that the Lowestoft officials learned from that experience because we were treated appallingly that day - that was one game where there should have been segregation and there should have been much more stewarding visible. In one respect it was a good job that we lost otherwise that could have turned nasty. It was obvious that it wasn't the regular Lowestoft fans with the attitude that day.

 

Think there was an incident with a few of the Harlow fans and our dugout after we pulled it back to 2-1 but as I didn't see clearly what actually happened I don't want to speculate. Harlow were the better team on the day and congratulations to them.
