I was thinking the other day about how close I am getting to becoming a member of the 92 club. It seems I've been rather scuppered by thoughtless chairmen moving their clubs to new grounds in recent years however.
I expect some of you can add some wierd and wonderful outposts and memories to my short list:-
The (old) Den, Millwall - Final game of the 1991/92 season. Pitch invasion by little kids at the end.
Elm Park, Reading - Saw us a number of times here, including some high scoring games. Seem to remember Peter Taylor's last game as manager too.
Ayresome Park, Middlesbrough - also 1991/92 season. We drew 1-1. I was very drunk.
The Dell, Southampton - No, I couldn't believe that early goal either.
The Goldstone Ground, Brighton - Think we lost 3-2. All I really remember was a pitch invasion at the end and Brains getting on the pitch to thump one of their fans.
Northampton's old ground - Can't remember the name of it but what a wierd ground! I seem to recall a line of people standing behind a rope along the entire length of the pitch.
And finally, my favourite; The Baseball Ground, Derby - Scene of our famous 3-1 win under Barry Fry in what is still the best performance I've seen from a Southend side. It was made all the better by the fact that it happened at a really good old ground.
