A great result, here are the fans giving the players and the manager the reception they deserved.
@ChrisPowell1969
showing why he’s a legend with the fans.
For those that didn't go today, the minute's silence for Chris Barker was immaculately observed by both sets of supporters, as was the minute's applause on 39 minutes. RIP Chris you are remembered with affection.
The saying goes “don’t give up on things that make you smile.” When was the last time any of us smiled? We deserve so much better!This club is being ripped apart & ruined and it’s breaks every single one of our hearts!So many great times over recent years, all that thrown away.
The beginning of a new era, a CEO, exciting coaching team, council approval on the ground and redevelopment of Roots Hall and now this! Pinch me I must be dreaming!
ShrimperZone would like to take this opportunity to wish Mark Molesley the best of luck for his future in football.
We would also like to offer a warm welcome, again, to Phil Brown as the new manager of Southend United FC. Three points this afternoon would be very welcome Phil.
The legend Adam Barrett at today’s game with the montage presented by and created from donations of members of ShrimperZone! Thank you Adam for everything you’ve done for the club and we will hopefully see you in our dugout again soon.
Let me get this straight, the team sat at the top of the league think that Akinola would improve their side. Yet us sat in 16th after losing to Aldershot who had lost all of their previous games don’t give him a chance 🤦🏻
Everyone at ShrimperZone would like to say thank you to
@anton_ferdinand
and wish him the best for the future. He leaves the club today by mutual consent.
The morning after, how are we all feeling after last nights game? Lots of positives! The Sheff Utd lads are different class! Funny isn’t it how give the front two some service and they score goals 😉
A huge thank you to
@KasperLopata
for his time at
@SUFCRootsHall
you’ve been an absolute rock in our defence and helped bring us out of the worst time in our history! You have a great future ahead of you and all at ShrimperZone wish you the best of luck. Once a Shrimper!
Considering it's a Friday night away game at Tranmere and our results have been grim, its absolutely amazing that 228 hardy Shrimpers have bought tickets for the game. A fantastic effort by all those travelling. Let's hope they are rewarded with a decent performance.
Our results on the pitch this season may be v disappointing, but Ron really does have the edge over HMRC. Latest Winding up petition dismissed.
HRMC v Southend United Head to Head - Ron is now 7-0 ahead of HMRC.
Outstanding that once again we have nearly sold out our allocation for an away game! We truly do have the best fans in the world! One day the club will repay us for our support!
So, all we need is a new manager, some new players, a training ground that's open, season ticket prices published, HMRC off our backs, EFL embargo lifted and a settled pre-season for the squad. What could possibly go wrong.
Thoughts and condolences from everyone at SZ go to the family and friends of Justin Edinburgh. Taken way to soon from this world. A great player and an amazing person. RIP Justin.
Boxing Day, the greatest tradition in the UK. Going to watch the team you love with your mates and or family. 3 points today would be the best Christmas present any Shrimper could ask for (except maybe embargo being lifted but we all know that’s not happening) UP THE BLUES!!!!
Merry Christmas from all at ShrimperZone. Hope all of our followers, members and all Southend United fans have an amazing day, stay safe and well. Fingers crossed for 3 points on Boxing Day. And Ron give us what we want and get that Embargo lifted!
ShrimperZone is 21 this year! Here is a picture of the forum back in October 2001. Who remembers posting on here and what are your oldest memories of SZ?
Part of Sol's team is Tony Colbert, previously with Arsenal as fitness coach. Seems he was known as the Beast at Arsenal and has a reputation for training player v hard. Full thread here if you're interested in knowing more:
Blues public servers state we have sold 6125 home tickets for today. Add the 2400 that Ipswich are bringing plus freeloaders in the East Blues seats and we should be close to a 9k gate. Bit different from Tuesday (as I hope the result will be). Be loud and proud today Blue boys😀
The latest rumours are that Sol will be manager (maybe today) and Ron will relinquish some control of the Club to a consortium (Larsson et al). It seems several debts have been settled over the last few days. Anyone heard anything similar?
5346 home tickets have been sold for today's game. Admittedly that includes season ticket holders, but if you add 200 Tranmere fans, a couple of hundred freeloaders in the East Stand Blue and a few more walk ups with kids for a quid, we may get near the 6k mark.
23 October 2019 - Southend United sit 22nd in League One and appoint Sol Campbell.
19 September 2021 - We now sit 19th in the National League, Phil Brown back in charge with 1 win out of 7.
Yet we still stick by the club after all it has put us through! We deserve so much more!
According to United's public servers 5185 home seats have been sold so far, this includes season ticket holders. Twitter claims that Coventry have sold in excess of 1500, so if both totals are anywhere near correct a gate in excess of 6k is very likely.
Only about 800 tickets left. Only pairs left available are in the South Stand Lower, where you can now buy an Adult ticket, without the need for a child ticket also. Let’s get them sold and pack the Hall. 🦐

Final score 1-1. Very dogged defensive display with players putting themselves on the line and taking yellows for the team. Well deserved point but with the chances we missed it should have been three. Nevertheless they played as team, something that has been missing this season.
Next up is Cambridge away. Their pitch is covered but it looks as if the temperature is going to be pretty cold at the weekend. If it gets cancelled we could always organise a Facebook protest that they only did it because we're on a roll at the moment. Just a thought.😀
ShrimperZone wishes all you tweeting Shrimpers out there a very Merry Christmas. There's not been too much to be happy about so far this year so let's hope that next year cheers us all up a bit. Whatever, enjoy yourselves on the 25th.
The gate today was 7,278 including 1,588 Coventry Fans making the journey down. That's a pretty impressive figure given the weather and a few more quid in the club's coffers. It will be interesting to see what Tuesday's gate will be.
Including season ticket holders, we have now sold 5550 home tickets for Thursday's game. Bung in 200 for the freeloaders in the East Stand Blue block and maybe 400 from MK dons and we should reach just over a 6k crowd. If it happens that will be very impressive given our results.
