Lord Football
Blues on Tour
A report from tonight's meeting.
Whilst we were not swamped with people, sufficient people turned out to voice their opinions.
The overwhelming view of those attending was
a. We want to see a sustainable League football side playing in Southend
b. We do not trust anything officially that comes out of the Club.
c. We are not setting up a splinter group to oppose any existing organisation
d. Whatever we do must learn the lessons of the past (notably the Jobson campaigns)
Some background was provided on the consortium and how they fit into the scheme of things. It was made clear that they will only get involved if the club go into Administration or if a deal can be reached with Sainsbury.
Some thought was given to up coming Winding Up Orders; but given the news of the new manager many believe that somehow this will be avoided.
The dismissal of Tilson was seen as the straw that broke the camels back.
Action.
There will be a protest at the Ipswich game on Friday, starting at 7pm. This will continue outside o the ground until the game finishes. This will be publicised via facebook, SZ and with a High Street leafletting campaign. A facebook group called Southend United, Who Cares will be set up in the next few hours and the link provided here in the next few hours.
People are encouraged to bring banners.
Two individuals will be contacting the Evening Echo directly during the week.
Thought will go into a round the clock vigil outside of Roots Hall.
Thought will go into a march from the High Street to the Ground on the day of the Derby friendly.
A further meeting will take place on Tuesday 13th July, once again, in the back garden of the Spread Eagle.
IF THE IPSWICH GAME DOES NOT GO AHEAD, THE DEMO WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE DERBY GAME.
