What a poorly written article. Why did they feel the need to have a go at fans in such a manner? |  |

Anything we did couldn't compete with FREE football. Very much doubt we will try anything. |

They've done that before.

Both our game and the League 2 giveaway game at Gigg clash on 21st April with the second leg of Barcelona vs PSG (live and free on ITV) and Blackburn vs Millwall.
I can't see many floating fans getting past the ITV game. Tuesday night lower division football vs the Champions League has always been a problem. Even with bury charging to watch the locals play Southend there would be an impact on local crowds.
Credit to the buckets for getting out of a sticky PR mess with a watch for free stunt although when you're funding a promotion push on money that you don't have I guess letting the punters in for free only adds more debt to the pile.
Post edit:
Morcambe tried this against Dagenham on 8th Janaury 2013 and attracted 4,029, their next game draw 1,586 and the game after that 1,840. bury's experience in a more densley populated catchment area will be interesting reading. |  |

And have Bury thought about loads turning up on the night and season ticket holders not getting their seats? Voucher holders getting a 'flexi tucket' for another game because they say they can't attend Southend... but do anyway?
Why can't we make the Orient game the launch of the online ticketing and make it a quid? If its promoted now, people won't even realise there's other games that night. The object will be to test the system and get people to the game. Making money on it should be secondary. | |

Can't disagree with anything online ticketing related 442. We need it, other clubs have it, there really are no excuses now that can be made.
I'd even argue to make it free for the first time you access a ticket as a home fan, subject to some form of validation check to encourage people to use the system and not repeat create user id's to defraud it.
bury have a bigger problem than seat allocations with this game for me and assuming that Southend don't bring many to say that the people of bury actually give a toss. Looking at the data their home attendance in the last five years vs Southend:
2009/10: No game - Southend in League 1
2010/11: 3531
2011/12: No game - bury in League 1
2012/13: 2,391 (FA Cup)
2013/14: 2,895
2014/15: 3,989* (game abandoned)
Anything less than 3,000 when free will make this look like a piss poor exercise, the crucial bit is how many would go to the game anyway. The lowest league attendance is 2.8k of full paying customers so the gate will be north of that, though I'd expect south of the Saturday.
I don't see it as credible and it won't get a mention, such is the focus on the Champions League. I'd personally have done it the other way around; but the ticket for Southend and have a freebie to the next home game. | |

The reason online ticketing is something to attach to an offer in the remaining matches is because we were told within the last month that there are plans to trial it at a league game this season.
Hopefully details will come out soon. | |

Some of us are older than this rivalry with bury, I for one don't dislike us, they are very similar to us and Oldham,
Plus the lure of a free game where 4th v 5th was possible was a good one,
As it happens we are playing so it does not matter. | |

Footy on the telly and Buckets letting people in for *free. Best not bother trying to promote our game. Nobody extra will come, too many clubs in local area, corrie and eastenders on the telly too, 1800 home fans and no pies at half time, etc etc etc.
*Some of the fans will have already paid. |  | | |

I wouldn't go if they paid me. I'm only interested in watching Dale, then England if they are on the telly. | | | |
