New quiz - assorted
When Roots Hall was planned in 1955, what was the original intended capacity? The black seats in the main stand, introduced in the early 1990s, came from which club? Which former manager achieved the distinction of playing for three clubs in one season who were all promoted? Who cost more? Mark...- Napster

Division 1 North and South
Because of the old photo's thread, I discovered that when Southend played their first game at Roots Hall in 1955, they were in Division 3 South. There was 4 Divisions, 1, 2, 3 North and 3 South. Now because of rising debt and with a few clubs struggling to survive in the 2 lower Leagues, do you...- THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK

I was surprised to see that, opening on 20th August 1955, it was then the youngest football ground for 33 years, until Scunthorpe opened Glanford Park in 1988. Must admit i was...- turkishm

Quick question, My grandad, Ted Lewis, passed away last week. He was 94 and a season ticket holder for over 40 years after moving to Southend in 1955. He used to go to lots of reserve games too and used to offer his 'advice' to whoever was in charge apparently! He sat at the back of the West...- pickledseal
