Nice to see a full page advert in yesterday's Evening Standard offering cheaper tickets for today's game. It's also fee for Academy members so I'll be bringing my daughters.
That Standard ad featured pictures of Russell Brand and Ray Winstone by the offer of VIP seats from £59. Ray Winstone recently played Magwitch as an Essex geeezer on the run in Great Expectations on the BBC at Christmas. As David Nicholls' screenplay had a few rewrites, perhaps a modern twist to the Dickens tale might involve Pip being told he's got Great Expectations by Mr Jaggers only to discover that Magwitch has in fact bought him a box at West Ham?
Meanwhile having given up on Huddersfield's Jordan Rhodes it seems we've made Glasgow Rangers' Croatian Nikica Jelavic our number one target and have bid £6 million according to various papers... Irons!

I put something in my blog about their advertising. Apparently Southend fans are up in arms because the whole town has been littered with their ad's.
The marketing operation does seem to be accelerating. A friend of mine who lives in Blackheath has had leaflets through his door, urging him to head for the Boleyn. Sadly, like most Blackheath residents, he is a Man Utd (armchair) fan....
Think we're entitled to advertise in Southend... though maybe we should encourage our fans to go and watch Southend when we're away to help SUFC's financial problems.
We've just announced a £6 million operating profit for last year according to Sullivan in the Forest programme. so that has to be progress. At least Karren Brady realises that all those kids at games get in cheap but buy programmes and merchandise.
