Whats the most league away support you have been in a crowd of following SUFC?

[alginon1]

If this was the FA cup the first time we played them; I remember going on the football special from Southend Vic and there were no seats it was a cattle truck! Also, broke my collar bone when the crowd surged and about 10 people fell on top of me.
Great/Happy days (Derby 75/76)

Good grief did we really take 6 500 to Lincoln

 

[wally4pm]

41 coaches to Everton with 4500 Shrimpers, 56 to Wednesday 5000 of us

Happy days

You have forgotten those of us who flew up on a football special from Rochford to Speke airport for the Everton game. Brilliant day and the atmosphere was unforgettable.

 

[wally4pm]

Last game of the season against Oxford away which is a Fancy Dress Day for those attending maybe come up with a theme for the day a simple costume just a idea all dressed the same just a few ideas: where's wally - smurfs - just a couple of ideas that could be extended on should the idea be taken up

I might have to charge you copyright royalities on this one!

 

[Leoblue]

Good grief did we really take 6 500 to Lincoln

No, no Lincoln, it was the play off final at the Mill Stad....

 

[Norwichshrimper]

One that automatically sticks out to me was our following at Charlton away when they played at upton park about in the 90s I think ( sorry 99% of Southend games I end up getting ****ed )

I was there. We had a big ol' sit down protest at the end.

 

[alginon1]

No, no Lincoln, it was the play off final at the Mill Stad....

doh! should have know I was there! it would be good to know where the 4k odd disappear too!

 

[Joolz]

Again I know it's not in the last 6 years but the 1,000 we took to Blackpool in October 2000 for David Webbs return was a pretty good effort.

Remember that well - where I took my wife for our first wedding anniversary. The hotel we stayed in was also featured in 'Hotels From Hell' on ITV the following year but, as I like to remind my wife, didn't actually win.

What a weekend!

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

i seem to recall we took up to 3000 to orient one season

Hmmm. Can't ever remember you bringing more than 2,400 or so (in 1999, maybe?).

4,603 for me, btw.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Hmmm. Can't ever remember you bringing more than 2,400 or so (in 1999, maybe?).

The year we won 2-0 (Ben Abbey quickfire double) when we had the 1200 or so in the seats and half the home terrace as it was the first time in ages it wasn't all ticket for us, it was reported in our local paper that "up to 3000" travelled

 

[BrettieAngell]

Good grief did we really take 6 500 to Lincoln

Yep but the best atmosphere at all 3 Mill Stad games by a long long way!

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

A coach load went to Bolton Burnden Park Late nineties won 2-0 ansah bodley. I was one of about 52 who went..

I remember that...........Awful turnout !!!!!!!!

The sort of stat that makes me moist.Many happy memories(Grimsby excepted). Top stuff

 

[Swiss Tony]

4,603 for me, btw.

Rent a crowd i presume?

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

Does anyone remember Col U away in March 1977. Over 6,000 on in total and hundreds of us all over their apology of a ground in all four stands (prob 2/3 of the att) and a proper firm as well. Good job we won or parts of the ground might not have stood afterwards.

 

[Jonny_Stokes]

Rent a crowd i presume?

Obviously... @Oxford in 2006.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I remember it well. Especially when their main mob came out of the park en route to Layer Road from the train station and attacked in a planned ambush, but our much smaller group of Southend fans raided a skip and chased them back into the park, Lol. It was like seeing a bully get his comeuppance.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

One that automatically sticks out to me was our following at Charlton away when they played at upton park about in the 90s I think ( sorry 99% of Southend games I end up getting ****ed )

I remember that one, we lost 2-0. And some cretin let off a tear gas cannister or smoke bomb during the game which did wonders for my eyes and 100's of other Blues fans in the same area.

 

[Sleaford Shrimper]

I seem to remember our end being packed at Hillsborough for the FA Cup 5th Round against Sheffield Wednesday in 1993 (?).

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Millennium Stadium, LDV Final
Or Sheffield Weds away

Funnily enough, probably mine as well
