Get fortress roots hall rocking!

On another thread a Cobblers fan said they would bring between 400-600. Also we shouldn't need thus type of thread. We've had a positive start to the season, team spirit seems good, a manager trying to take us in the right direction and one that a majority of fans have accepted. We should need no threads pumping the crowd up!

Crikey - sounds like you are taking things a little too seriously as I'm not sure this thread is "pumping the crowd up". Remember that Shrimperzone is read by a small percentage of Southend fans and an even smaller percentage will take any notice.

If the article does have a marginal effect, then where's the harm? It's can be the difference that makes the difference.

On a slightly different subject, I don't go to football to swear in front of young 'uns and ladies so chants without the swearing would be better for me and would be more "inclusive" (as they say on the telly).

Its a good point, there is no point using songs with swearing in if the point is to get the rest of the ground to join in because that will certainly stop many.

Well I am going by pre match sales figures and forecasts

I take it we are back in the West for this game? cant wait to get the place rocking

Cant see this one being a very large attendance. The mighty Essex Eagles are at finals day and V festival is on. Think this should have been a Friday night match.

V festival won't affect it. It's for people who have no clue about music and just want to boost their social media popularity by having a picture of them with a bottle of white lightning by a tent. They are obviously clueless and would never be Southend United fans so we won't be at a loss.

The T20 final on the other hand will play a big part.

Yeah in the west due to size of away following anything over 800 away fans by FA regulations they have to be given 2 exit points in the stadium hence why we are not allowed to be in the north as we would be blocking one of their exit points

 

[shrimperjon]

Not sure that the t20 final will affect the crowd that much. In all the years I've been going to Essex I don't see many Sufc shirts and those that I do see are many of our diehard fans. I wouldn't miss a Sufc game for cricket final or not. Plus Essex allocation isn't that large either I don't believe.

So is it advance tickets only then, otherwise at what point do they decide whether the north will be shared?

We need a song, this might be a little far fetched for a club of our size but I was thinking about 'the fields of anthery' the Irish fans at the euro 2012 World Cup was pure class, even a crowd of 6000 or less can still make a brilliant hair raising noise, if this is too much how about we use it for this years play off at wembley or even when we have a filled ground for our last home game as we finish as champions :winking:

I like your positive attitude mate.

 

[Southend Pier]

Maybe an old tune but I think the players should come out of the tunnell onto the pitch to the tune of Fatboy Slim's Right here right now.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

we need some good music, like Iron Maiden. all The Hall doing the Trooper would be ace

 

[Southend Pier]

unless most like it but i'd say the music that is played out upon scoring a goal should be changed. been like that for years.

 

[londonblue]

Everton have always entered the pitch to the tune from Z Cars. (Google it if you're too young.) The music doesn't need to change if people are happy with it.

However, assuming people aren't happy with it then we should agree a song that will become a club anthem that can used from now onwards. Any song won't become an anthem overnight, it will take years, but if you don't ever start it will never happen.

Personally I think we should choose a song from the 60's. Firstly it will sound old and give the impression we've been using it for years, and secondly, any modern song will just sound naff in a couple of years time. A song from, say, the 60s has already gone past the naff stage.

 

[leeblue]

Definitely get rid of goal music.......please please please

 

[mattytheshrimper]

I'd never miss blues for some cheesy pop festival. I think we will have 6k plus again. It's when the likes of Accrington visit that crowds plummet.

Ever been Tom, not quite cheesy is the right word tbh.

 

[dbailey3]

The Trooper is a class tune

 

[united we stand]

"He shoots
He scores
He's ****ing Barry Corr
Barry Corr etc

Arsenal do a similar chant about Tottenham and we did one against Leyton after the game;

"What do we think of Colchester?
****!
What do we think of ****?
Colchester!
Oh, we hate Col U, we hate Col U
We're Southend and we hate Col U etc

IMO . Any time spent singing about Orient , Col U Etc etc would be better spend getting behind OUR team

 

[Southend Pier]

The music? Think it needs to change. But wouldn't want up dated Night club style music. Its a football Club not a night club. Beought it up as an idea to gauge opinion.

 

[GregStarz]

We should get more involved like Glasgow Rangers with chants like god save the queen, bouncy bouncy etc I love all that and think rangers are fantastic in the way they're proud to be British!

I'm thinking of actually getting my Union Jack flag back out again, we would get a lot of respect to be honest.
