Save our Southend Save our Southend - New COPA90 video

[TrueBlue]

Thanks to our own committee member Kerry Fairless (Lord football to many of you) for this superb video on whats going on at Roots Hall

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Superb

 

[Billericay Dickie]

Well done, Kerry (and all the others involved in putting this together). Brilliant production which absolutely captures the feelings of so many of us!

 

[Camden Blues]

Wow - powerful stuff! I love SUFC, I was born in sight of the floodlights, I've travelled home and away, I love SZ. But they're not my life. However this reminds me that for lots of supporters it is their life. And that's why we see such powerful debate on SZ, why we see people losing their ?, and why many of us never agree. But ultimately for all of us it's about SUFC, and their best interests. Well done Kerry and team - absolutely thought provoking and brilliant!

Full credit goes to Kerry I must say

I'm not afraid to say that watching that brought a tear to my eye. Kerry literally summed up what the club means to me. I went to my first game with my Dad in 1984 (he's since passed) and have taken my own son there.

All I want is a sustainable football club , one that can compete with its peers nothing more, nothing less. We will probably never win the Premiership or Champions league, but i don't care about that Fakery anyway.

All I want to do is pay my money and watch my team on a Saturday. S.u.f.c

"THE ONLY TEAM IN ESSEX"

COPA90 really do produce some great videos and it's nice that they give the smaller clubs like ourselves the platform to voice our concerns as opposed to seeing another interview with a premier league fan unhappy that they didn't spend £50m on a striker.

I echo everything Kerry said. I went to my first game with my Mum, Dad and Uncle in 2001 when I was seven. I wondered why after kick off there was no commentary of the game as I sat in the stands watching. That day was truly my first dose of a drug that 20 years later I haven't kicked the habit of.

I don't think you can quantify just how bad our clubs reputation is thanks to the actions of our chairman. As Kerry said, who would want to come here and play for our club?

Remember when he went on TalkSport and told the nation we would not go down last season?

Remember when he told us that we shouldn't be in the same division as Morcambe and Accrington Stanley? Well you're getting your wish Ron because they're going to be established league clubs whilst we spend an eternity fighting for league status and, more worrying, our financial future.

I think tonights call with Ron will be interesting and I pray for answers and actions that Ron will actually stick to. Enough of the BS, Ron. We have no choice but to change and change NOW!

This has all the Netflix / Making of a murderer vibes about this at the start ; I’m guessing that’s been done as a subtle message .... !!

What a brilliant piece. This should be spread and shown far and wide.

 

[Shrimperjohn]

A most eloquent and powerful video that succinctly captures the terrible mis management of MY CLUB. This needs to be shared by all and sundry so that the wider football community understands our plight. Southend ‘till I die ......

 

[euroshrimper]

Wow a very moving video very well done to all concerned, hopefully onwards and upwards. Once a Shrimper always a Shrimper........

 

[amsemp]

Absolutely fantastic. Echoed the feeling of so many of us at the moment.

Will any reply from Ron be made public TB?

 

[Supershrimper]

Stunning. This should be shown to the team and management before a match to show them just how much this club means the to fans that support it.

Just as a side, that was an incredible amount of mattress counts. I think I counted 4

 

[Streaky]

Wow, captures how we all feel. That part about watching a family pet die every week is exactly how it feels.

 

[Cricko]

Brilliant work by all concerned and echoes what we all feel. Made me very emotional to see what we could be losing and the hurt it is creating for all of us Fans...

Great stuff @Lord Football and all who helped make this superb video.

Absolutely fantastic. Echoed the feeling of so many of us at the moment.

Will any reply from Ron be made public TB?

Yeah, he’s put it out on Betamax!
