I would think quite seriously now seeing as we've got no FA competitions left for the first XI! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

What's left to aim for? This, consolidation in the league and probably the Thameside Trophy.

now we are out of the two cups that pay good money, theres no point in being silly and risking players for the leauge these cups have no money in them and we will be lucky to break even if we get a few away draw!! even if we get far with home draws the crowd has to be good for it to be worth it.

[CIFC JACKO]

I still think we should try to get as far as we can because if and it is a big if we do get to the final then it will be a very good experience for all our players. Also if we progress quite far and play someone like grays or chelmsford then there will be quite a big crowd and we will make money that way.

[canveyboy18]

well lets say we do get there we get 1000, we have to give the other team half so thats 500 thats pays for the game and abit Xtra money, what about the 4,5 or 6 other games you have to play to get there!!! maybe only get 250 half that then add the money together on paper we will play around 5 games and only get the money for two and a bit so it will not be worth it and may leave us worse off then we started!!

[South Mouth]

Aren't Southend United competing this year?

[CanveyLad0]

no due to there small squad

[Ribbit]

I'm confused. What's the difference between this cup and the Thameside?

[CanveyLad0]

thats like sayin waht the difference between the FA cup and Trophy! they are different comp! shows how much you really know ribbit

[richard sparkes]

Does 1 include league clubs and the other dont?

[Beachboys]

No 1st time Southend have not played in the Senior cup ever.

[CanveyLad0]

I didn't profess to know, which is why I asked. Climb out of your backside and try answering the question. I know bugger all about football at this level, 'cause I only started seriously supporting Canvey the season we won the Ryman Premier.

[Ribbit]

Doesn't mean I haven't got eyes.

I've just seen on the official site that this match is on November 11. We were playing Witham in the league that day, has that match been re-arranged?
