Echo News Southend United letter: Stop the negativity and lets get 40 points

[Strykr]

It is indeed the very same Grant Littler. He was at SHSB in the late 50s-60s. Was in the House of Troy, School Prefect and played hockey for the School. Didn't appear to show any interest in football during the time I was there.

Maybe he just loves an underdog?

Maybe he just loves an underdog?

That'd be from his school days being in Troy

Started up a company called Nightingale Littler just as Ron was getting his feet under the table at Roots Hall 20 years ago. Went in to compulsory liquidation and wound up a couple of years or so back.

One thing's for certain, if you post a open letter to the Echo offering a positive spin you can guarantee you will get well and truly rinsed on ShrimperZone.

 

[BluBayou]

Here's one reason for optimism - we've only lost 3 of our last 9 games

Positive spin ? It was positively hyperbole !

Sixth form. Left in '62

Paul would have still been there for another year or two

Being positive is one thing, but don’t **** on my head, and tell me it’s raining.

I get that chaps and I don't disagree, but my post concerned disecting the bloke's school days, sporting prowess, business success (or lack of it) and his political tendancies as a local councillor. Anyway, at least I know a lot more about him now, even if I haven't met him.

...the peerless influence of Shrimperzone!

Nice sentiments Sir. But in reality we are record breakers (for all the wrong reasons) probably up there with the worst teams in our history and simply put they are dog shi* and wouldn't look out of place in the National league. No amount of belief will change that I am afraid. Worst thing is, the players don't believe either, so what hope for the supporters?

There quality in the National League though.

I don't think our paths would have crossed then.

I have met him a few times. The last time was on the way to Wimbledon a few week ago on the train. I think I even made him go to the game, sorry Grant.
He is a good friend of Ron Martin.

Ah that's it then. Ron probably told him we are going to get the 40 points needed to stay up.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

40 points would be sensational !

Beginning with 3 on Sat
