Is he not on Shrimperzone??? Can’t be a real fan then ?
Whoopty-doo for him. Why am I interested?
The **** I get for some of my posts and the mod of a fan forum posts this.
Astounding.
Ok, I may have been a touch incendiary with my post, but it wasn’t rude or defamatory. I just don’t know the geezer and said so. Is that so wrong?
Firstly, who is Phil Cox, and secondly who gives an amoeba’s excretion hole?

Not sure Phil Cox was going to away games in the 1970's. You must be thinking of another Phil?
I’m with you mate. It’s a shame this guy isn’t going to the game. But do I care? Not really.Ok, I may have been a touch incendiary with my post, but it wasn’t rude or defamatory. I just don’t know the geezer and said so. Is that so wrong?
Well done Phil for your tremendous effort of reaching 1,600 approx unbroken sequence of attending Southend United games home and away.Thank you for the nice comments and perhaps not for not so nice ones.
As Lord Football said I have my reasons for not going anymore, am I not going to bore anyone with them, as most of you wouldn't care anyway!!!
And no that wasn't me in the 1970's.
You don’t need to explain reasons and some posters just like to be ignorant and one rule for one and one rule for anotherThank you for the nice comments and perhaps not for not so nice ones.

You wonder why 6000 members on SZ and only a few post, perhaps look at humour from the person you are aiming at, not all find it funnyFair enough, I may have been a touch strong in my attempt at humour. Good call out.
"A Fantastic Achievement Phil" to do that for almost 30 years is quite remarkable especially when you consider the costs that it involves such as coach/train/car etc then match ticket's and that is without food and drink. When I left school back in 1965 I went to just a few local away matches which I always throughly enjoyed, apart from Millwall, however after we were relegated back in 1966 to the Fourth Division all I wanted to do was go to as many away matches as possible and between 1966 & 1971 I did manage to attend every first team match in league & cup for about 5 years stopping at the end of the 1970-71 season due to saving up to get married(MUG, in previous season's I only had a short term relationship in the cricket season). It wasn't just going to the matches back then it was often the people that you were travelling with (see many of them around Roots Hall to this day) be it by coach, car or train as well as the many times we hitch-hiked it really was an adventure, although back then it could be a little bit hairy/scary to say the least. Apart from that only a few supporters would travel to away matches unlike today when our support can sometimes be anything between 500 & 1,000 as was at the recent matches at CoventryCity (St.Andrews, Birmingham) & today's encounter against Lincoln City at Sincil Bank. In those days some of us would be given complimentary tickets by the players so the bond between both players and supporters was formed and the friendship that we had back them still lasts for me today some 50 years later. Once again "Congratulations & very well done Phil" the like of which we may never see again?Thank you for the nice comments and perhaps not for not so nice ones.
