Roots Hall Memories

[McScriven]

WITH the Blues pre-season match against Norwich City just around the corner we are asking supporters for their help to celebrate a historic occasion.


This summer's game against the Canaries marks 50-years at Roots Hall and to celebrate the landmark we have an exciting game in store.


Ex-Premier$hite side Norwich City were the first ever opponents at the Hall back in 1955 and to help commemorate 50-years since the opening of the Blues current ground Steve Tilson's current side will face Nigel Worthington's charges.


We are currently putting together a special commemorative Matchday programme to mark the occasion and we're looking for your assistance.


We'd like supporters to email us at media@southend-united.co.uk with what Roots Hall means to them, not exceeding more than 30 words.


Also, those fans that have a special memory to share about their time spent at the Hall, whether that be their first game, when the Blues held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw in '79 or even some memories from any supporters were at the first ever match here we want to read them.


So send your articles into media@southend-united.co.uk now!

Good work, were you drunk? I know you mean it but still a bit extravagant maybe?

Westcliff Shrimper getting a call after myself, him and a few others were coming out of Salisbury caff, and asked if we could help move the stage. It was before a game against Carlisle and some bint from Steps was performing. We got on the pitch, and managed to get free beer at half time and after the match for our efforts.

That was a great day. Failing that, Roots Hall is great because it's non-smoking
