Anybody know what is it like going by bus from Southend Central to Roots Hall and back again? Presumably it's a Sunday timetable service or something.
Personally I wouldn't get the bus. It's a very easy walk - just go to the top of the High Street, take the little passageway next to The Odeon and then it's just half a mile up Victoria Avenue. Simple.
If you're going by bus you need to cross the High Street to find the bus stops that are all out the other side. The 7, 8 and 29s all go down that way, not convinced the service will be that good though.
To reduce the length of walk from the station, travel from Liverpool Street. Southend Victoria is a straight walk up Victoria Avenue but nearest to Roots Hall is the stop before that, Prittlewell.
Except that line is fucked due to engineering works
Yesterday two lads who went to my son's school were killed in a car accident - one was a friend of my boy and used to have kickabouts together down the local rec. As these kids were just seventeen, there will be a minute's applause on the 17th minute of Saturday's match. I'm sure it would be appreciated if any Charlton fans join in.
Given that the accident was during a police chase though, some may not wish to, but at least you'll know what's going on.

what can one say about this type of tragic incident ? .. should the police not chase 'suspect' cars ?, should other means be used in an attempt to stop vehicles rather than just pursuit ? .. whatever
sympathies to your son for the loss of his friend .. and especially to the boys' parents. To lose a son in such circumstances is awful and something which I doubt they will ever be able to put behind them

Looks like it.
Looks like it will end up around 1200 which is disappointing but not unexpected for 1pm on nye
