This should be sent to Ron Martin.This is pretty much how I feel. Now in my seventies, living an hour’s drive from Southend (on a good day) and with a partially disabled wife to care for, I am more of a follower than a supporter these days anyway.
I am lucky enough to just about pick up a signal from BBC Essex where I live, so I never miss commentary on the matches, watch all the highlights and keep up to date with everything here on the Zone. I hardly ever missed attending a home match during the 50s, 60s and 70s and travelled to away matches within reasonable striking distance. Southend United is still in my blood though and if it dies so too will my interest in football.
My great uncle used to take my father as a boy to matches at the Kursaal ground in the 1930’s so the club have played a part in my family’s life for almost 90 years and it will be very sad if this is the end. Personally, I don’t think this crisis will be the end but I foresee a lot more turmoil yet to come and I doubt I have enough years left to see the club flourishing back in the EFL. Like many of us on here though I live in hope.
Sir ... you are a credit to the club
