Pitch photo please

[Rattus Norvegicus]

It is all very quiet at this time of the year ............ and fears of more financial problems in the air. :'(

We could all do with some pepping up - does anyone have the photo of the tractor laying a new pitch from a few years ago?

I remember it with fondness and how it became a reliable and dependable part of a Southend United fan's life. Have we signed any new players? No. Contract extensions finalised? No. Any reliable rumours? No. New players spotted at the club/train station/pier? No. Any news from the club? No. Player of the season moving on? Hmmmm.

Good times .............:whistling:

It would be great to see the photo again to remind us of how we have moved on .......

No luck for me either, but for cheering up purposes was going to post a picture of Ron, but decided this was better

At least they are no longer 12-15 year olds dancing!

The blue bells may not be the best dancers, but at least i can stare at them :smile:

That looks like he has just finished the Col U pitch. Bloke with a bucket of sand will be out in a minute to finish it off.

Well, we have had at least 25 years of planning for a new ground already ......
