"Southend United Football Club is an English football club based at Roots Hall Stadium, Prittlewell, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, who currently play in League One of the English Football League. The club plans to move into a new 22,000 seater stadium located at Fossetts Farm in the near future, but no substantial work has yet commenced, and is looking increasingly unlikely due to their current financial situation.

Southend are just a small town in Canvey. Their official club song is; We are shrimpers Yes dirty shrimpers We're only happy on On giro day My mums out stealing My dads drug dealing And we're gonna take your hubs caps away

Also, their player Adam Barratt is the stupidest, most oaf-like cunt to have ever graced a football pitch."

Oh dear dont like to see this happening to a famous old town.

My cousins daughter goes out with one of the players

Did you support non league day lioned? I didn't because of back to school stuff but I do get along to Wealdstone when I can, which is a bit of a trek for me.

My 'local' team Bromley where playing away to Maidenhead which was a bit of a trek for me so i shall be going this weekend as they are at home to St Albans,and we are top of the league and undefeated so i may well be going fairly regularly and am quite looking forward to some of the away games at some good old fashioned football grounds.
