East End Fan Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 As a long standing older fan, my own criticism was never the track, it has always been the lack of comfortable viewing and his has affected my attendances in recent years. Unlike most, I enjoyed our year in the National League. I'll probably go to some meetings at Rye House. There are a few seats there, though not as many as in past years. I was told last week that Lakeside are putting out a National league Select side very soon. Can anybody tell me anything about it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Hammer180. Can you enlighten me about the impendings news for Southern based clubs? I have heard no rumours. Not sure what to make of the move to Rye House. Better than complete shut-down but not ideal. What will Rockets' fans make of it ? At least Saturdays makes it easier travel-wise.

I know its boring but cant really say anymore as don't want to step on peoples toes and yet again its not set in concrete but hopefully in the next couple of months it will become clear shouldn't really say anything but just wanted fans to keep the faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done I suspect as otherwise our play-off hopes would have hung by a thread. Three home wins and we shall finish on 41 which ought to be enough. It could be a late night and might put off almost all apart from season ticket holders. Len Silver has put on double-headers in the past but starting at 6pm. 7pm could mean the Peterborough meeting finishing around 11.30pm.

barraider Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 6pm would be better or rather a late night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I agree 6pm would have been more sensible, does Rye House have a curfew at all being so close to housing? If I choose to go it could be very touch and go as to whether I would be able to stay for all of the second meeting as I will be on night shift and then I have to worry about whether I will be able to get out of the car park as I could be boxed in, too many ifs and buts for me to risk it. Also no mention of what the price will be for the double header, with a meeting on the Friday too, pricing will have to be kept sensible otherwise for two adults you could be looking at the best part of £100-£120 if you include programs over two days.

Paulco Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 For next Friday's meeting , is there a taxi rank at Chafford Hundred train station ? If not does anyone have a local taxi firm number thanks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Regent Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 That's two matches in one night without any real home advantage. It won't be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyejay Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi fella, there is a cab rank there and in the early evening there should be plenty of cabbies on the rank . If not however, try Lakeside Taxis on 01375 383878 . There is a rank at the shopping centre too, but it is not always loaded with cabs.

waytogo28 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Is it not time to have a new thread - something like Lakeside On The Move? I am not mocking the sadness of those fans who do not want it to happen but the Lakeside venue seems lost forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Rye have a time curfew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
