Prior To Tomorrows Game

[Born In A Blue Shirt]

Just a bit of a heads up, for those of you who may be interested I will be singing on the hallowed Roots Hall turf tomorrow from 2.45pm... weather permitting of course!

Some of you guys may remember me from singing on the pitch before, performing at meet the blues day last year, the legends charity match at Burnham which also took place last year or perhaps even the Shrimpers Trust coach for the numerous times I travelled with you to someplace up north on a wet Tuesday night in the middle of January over the years!

For those of you who don't know me, I've been a Southend fan all my life and was a season ticket holder for 15 years until my career as a Singer/Songwriter began to take shape. From a very young age I wanted to be Andy Harris.... Then Kevin Maher.... Then I realised it isn't a bad life being a singer after all (To be fair Kevin Maher is still a legend in my book).

Anyway, getting to the point, If it doesn't interrupt the pre-match rituals you may have too much, it would be fantastic to see some of you out there whilst I perform. I'll be playing my new single 'I'll Be Waiting' that will be out before the end of the year, and also a cover as well. If you want a sneak peak of the type of stuff I do, please feel free to check out my music online:

Thanks in advance and hope everyone enjoys the game!

Take care,

Adam

I thought we had resigned Spencer Prior for a second then. Would have made sense with the recent over the hill acquisitions recently.

Good luck. Your performance will probably be the best performance on the pitch tomorrow

Good luck, I'll give you a cheer from East Greens, probably the only cheer from there all afternoon!

Good luck, I'll give you a cheer from East Greens, probably the only cheer from there all season!

Edited for accuracy.

Haven't you heard, he's doing a duet with Mooney, so that cheer may be withheld!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Then he'll either fall over, be offside or...score a hat-trick :stunned:

Good Luck Adam :thumbsup:

Shame the speakers were not working in the West Stand again as we could not hear you.

I don't mind the speakers not blaring out the pre-match music, but pretty poor show when you cant hear team line-ups/ substitutions/important safety announcements etc.

Or, for that matter, the amount of time added on in the second half. And for that matter, why was there no time added on in the first half? I'm convinced the fourth official held his board up the wrong way round. The joys of the West Stand.

Thanks for the words of support guys, sorry it's taken me a while to respond - it's been a manic old week! What a result though! I thought we played really well and showed a lot of passion too. Hopefully more of the same against Northampton tomorrow!

Hopefully more of the same against Northampton tomorrow!

I second that emotion.
