I don't go to games because I can't afford to. I'm rooting for the lads though because my sole source of income is from driving that open-top bus at our victory parades.
If the thread had been changed to is Leeboy really a Southend Supporter I would have some sympathy :p
I'll go through thick and thin but we were all out the back of the West questioning our sanity at half time and at full time I think we'd just lost the will to live. It wasn't so long ago we were getting these crowds and less. I have no problem if the floating fan wants to do something better with their time on a Saturday afternoon. God knows we can't expect people to tolerate that dross week in week out. I'll take some comfort from the fact that there's around 3,000 that will start to make their way back if performances pick up consistently. Sadly we may have to wait a bit for that. I'd love to know what our break even attendence figure is this season. I'd like to think it is still lower than Saturday's gate.
Silly question in my mind, you have to register on here, and you have to be a real supporter to endure some of the complete ***** u get to see and keep coming back for more.
the forums rife with complaints, but thats only on the back of probably the best period in our history, and demise of the tilly/brush era. Weve seen amazing things, and now were back to being beaten by teams like morecambe, this has been the norm rather then the exception for the bulk of my life. I feel sick about whats happened to our club lately, and i can only foresee league 2 in our future for a while. I hate it with a passion, disgusted with the pawning off of our club by RM, deeply saddened by the current squad of journeymen we have, none of which (bar granty) i have any memories/emotional attachment with. disgusted at being beaten by morecambe. sad that were not still singing "championship, having a laugh" at a packed roots hall.
But.. do i go still go to games? yes. do i still listen to games on blues player? Yes. do i still log on to shrimperzone with my morning cup of coffee? yes. Is the first thing i talk about with my old man, SUFC? yes
And i always will...
The floaters and glory hunters cant hack it, fair game.
SUFC is for life not just for christmas, its like a marriage, for better or worse. Had the better, back to the worse.
In the circumstances i think the fact we are getting 5,000 is quite impressive.
what about Anton Johnson who really did rob the club blind. Can't remember too many people staying away from games back then.
Do we really have to justify ourselves?

Yes I'm a real Southend supporter I've missed 4 home games since 1947
