Four Southend fans asked a group of us standing outside the Three Horse Shoes pub last night if it was okay for them to come inside for a drink ? I said no problem as they seemed a bit nervous. They were a great set of lads but said they'd been told to watch themselves as we weren't the most friendly to visiting supporters.I was surprised to hear that as I thought we had a reputation these days as being fine to away fans as long as they weren't looking for trouble ? Or have we ?
They enquired about the Wheatsheaf but were told best stay in here but I've seen away fans in there and it's been okay.I guess it depends where they are going and the type of people frequenting them.
There is a website that goes into detail what pubs etc to drink in and what the home fans are like. They got their mindset I think from that ?God knows where they heard that. I don't think there is any pub I wouldn't recommend to an away fan.
Talking of the Southend Fans I thought they did themselves proud last night. Not just in terms of noise made but also numbers. I really wasn't expecting that.
Me too we were guessing before the game at how many they'd bring,I said a few hundred so was surprised when I saw their decent turn out in the ground.Talking of the Southend Fans I thought they did themselves proud last night.

I thought it was overkill on stewards until I saw the team run out in their away strip. :facepalm:
I quite liked it!That kit was horrible.
Hmmm can't remember any trouble at a Cov game since 2008 against Leicester.
Unfortunately been a few since then.
