More late 70's, possibly into the early 80's them. I wonder if some of those listed in previous posts were more 90's than 80's. I remember the mane Phil Esdaile, but can't picture the face.

def early 80's when i was a regular. Phil was the coach organiser/supporters club main man i think for a while,
i think he took the brunt of most of the jokes!

Sorry done 5 names! We hardly ever filled a 54 seater in the 80's so about 40 names should do.

Excellent! Was on that coach. No segregation. I rememver being 5-2 or 5-3 up and a local said" I'll tell thee what. If Southend score again I'll punch thee on bloody nose"

I think that was there only defeat between Boxing Day and the end of the season - where they won promotion by beating us 4-1 at RH on the last game on a Friday night.

i think we were in with a chance of promotion that season, blew it towards the end i think. find the burnley 15 then! thats 2 of us
