Hope they get through. Had a few good awaydays there as a callow youth and anyone called the Shrimpers is fine with me. |  | |  |

We were there one Saturday afternoon and we scored the winner 1-0 In the last minute, In my infinite wisdom celebrating the goal I jumped up and grabbed the mesh fencing behind the goal albeit too late realising that the fencing had anti-vandal paint applied to It. There were signs Installed on the fencing (DOH)
That black paint was a bastard to get off my hands and steering wheel, awful long journey home In the car.
Oh how we laughed.
I have a passion for old British grounds and clubs and their history, I sincerely hope Southend United get through this.
Nothing makes sense to me anymore, I understand clubs being mismanaged financially but whatever, It's all been said before doesn't make It any easier. |  |

I have lived in and around Southend for over 30 years, since I was a kid and still live here now
The whole thing is a shambles with only one person culpable , Ron Martin. He makes Paladini look like a Saint
The whole new stadium thing has been in the offing for over 40 years the previous Chairman Vic Jobson announced he was gonna move the club yonks ago
Martin is a property developer and how he has accumulated his wealth is up for discussion shall we say
The club did brilliantly last year under Kevin Maher and without the points deduction and embargo would have made the play offs
The stadium makes Loftus Road look like the finest stadium in the world basically he took the ground away from the club put it in another company and then charged the club rent
The takeover has been ongoing for 8 months or so. A deal seemed to be close and then the council elections came the Tory bloke Cox got voted out and the new guy Cowan came in and ripped up what was proposed as it would have saddled the tax payer big time
The consortium have financed the club since agreeing the deal in October and have now said it needs to be done asap, Martin is running out of road but the club is in real danger
I’ve been to Southend many times down the years, took my boy to his first ever match there as a warm up to going to Rangers
Really hope they can get sorted |  | | |

But, that a club that has been established since 1906, located in a metropolitan area the size of Southend and it's abutting estuary communities and is now in financial trouble, is a fcking disgrace. | |

Was there for that 5-0 Friday night drubbing in the sleet and snow. Followed by a bunch of 12 year old Essex herberts offering me out, outside the station, so don't have happy memories of Southend. But still want them to survive and thrive. Do they still have Teddy Boys hanging around the Kursaal? | | | |
