If no Shrimpers, who would you support?

[IloveShrimp]

The only football I watch is the mighty blues. But if SUFC folded who would you watch?

Personally I would not watch club football at all.

 

[meerkat54]

Wouldn’t go to any other football club and support them.
It would feel like treason, would attend more rugby tho’

 

[Halstead Blue]

The only football I watch is the mighty blues. But if SUFC folded who would you watch?

Personally I would not watch club football at all.

I really wouldn’t have any interest in any other professional football club. Probably go and watch Halstead Town occasionally but that would be it. I’ve never been remotely invested in any other club.

 

[gatecrasher]

It would be a bitter pill, I don't think you can. Whether you fell in love with them for a year or 50 years - it's part of the fabric of your life.

Could I watch another team yes, could I love them and feel for them like I do Southend no - if she goes then that's it for me.

 

[Ricey]

No one! I would go and watch random games. I could only ever support one club. It’s Southend United the one formed in 1906 and hopefully will be around longer than me.

There can be only one!

[SUBBlue]

Lyrics say it all.

 

[shrimper-james]

I’d find it difficult to fully support another team, but I’d likely go to the odd local game here and there (Bowers, Concord, Canvey etc).

 

[Streaky]

It would be like losing a family member. I enjoy football so would watch my local team - Hullbridge Sports.. to be fair the food and bar is 10x better than at Roots Hall.

 

[Morty01]

Whatever phoenix club is formed to succeed us.

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

if it comes to it, probably Southend Phoenix

 

[Avl1983]

I’m not sure I could but if it happened I could possibly support a non league team, someone smaller than SUFC may not feel as bad. Wakering maybe but it doesn’t feel right.

 

[Tribal Chief]

England and East Stirlingshire.

 

[JIMSDAD]

Saracens

 

[ian_the_girth]

Melbourne City

 

[ian_the_girth]

Melbourne City

 

[CC51DAS]

Pretty simple this for me - I'd go to matches at West Ham Tottenham Chelsea and Arsenal. Not to watch the football but just to count up the number of Southend local councillors I see there

 

[CC51DAS]

More seriously, I'd like to think that if 6,000 shrimpers got behind Southend Manor, they could shoot up the leagues in no time.

Hopefully they'd agree to be re-named :

Manor from Southend

 

[Barry.C]

After 55 years + of a 91 miles round trip to my beloved Southend , if I thought the heart of the club would be born in the new phoenix club I wouldn’t hesitate to carry on as normal
As I hate the Premier league and if Southend City can’t get underway, I will watch alternative lower league football as I need that fix and that would be Chatham from the isthmian league and for a rare change a great little family club on my doorstep ,but never Gillingham where I live

 

[NZamba Legend]

Man City- no stress
