Southend United

Can't see why your posting on here chaps, it's got nothing to do with us. Me and the Boy are looking forward to a decent season in the NLS with loads of local derbies (one season only mind). Always felt a bit sorry visiting your Town and seeing a horrible West Ham shop in your town centre. Thought ...

Southend United

Hi Southend fan here. As much as I will miss the Torquay away day/weekend teams finish where they finish. A few things to clarify. The club does not live beyond it's means. We have a healthy support for national league level. A 6k average and 8500 on the last day. What we have is a man solely focuse...

Re: Torquay United v Southend United

You're not wrong Shrimpy. We got all the way to the ground at Crewe once before a steward told us it was off. This was 7 days after we got to within about 50 miles of Accrington (happy for Diamondgirl to correct me on this) when we heard that match was off, turned off the motorway, round the rounda...

Re: Torquay United v Southend United

Id feel for our fans if a second fixture in a week got called off . The game at accrington got called off just 1hr before kick off and that is a mammoth journey to get to and be sent home and torquay is just as bad if not worse.

There has been more cancelations this year than i have every known

Re: Southend fan in peace

Basil 75. I have always been amazed that clubs right down in the southwest dont get bigger gates. Plymouth aside you exeter and yeovil are quite isolated for the premier league. I know league two is not a great draw for anyone , but its always puzzled me that with very little else in the area in ter...

Re: Southend fan in peace

Ferrarilover you make some great points Unfortunately we will not have any money until we move and increase revenue as there isnt a lot of money to be made just in football so you need concerts shopping centres and non matchday money to bring the club forward. We have already sold roots hall to sain...

Re: Southend fan in peace

Fair play away day. My point is this . If we are still regularly getting 5k in the basement league after being relegated and almost going bust , and having the most hated chairman for years on top of sacking mr southend Steve tilson, then imagine what we would have at a gleaming new stadium with inv...

Re: Southend fan in peace

Re the new stadium: A couple of points of note. The southend catchment area is huge . We have the most populated county in england We have are averaging 5k this season and when you think about what our fans have been through this season and last its a miracle really We have lost 50 % of our attendan...

Southend fan in peace

Hey, Unfortunately cant get to the game this weekend but ive been to your place a good few times before and always had a great weekend. Seems both teams have evened out since we last met. Your were a decent side when we met earlier in the season were riding high at the top of the league. Since then ...
