thank you. You made a 50 year old man cry today. That was so much more than a game of football. What you and the 15 players did today was nothing short of remarkable. This club has everything in place
@SUFCRootsHall
just need Ron gone. 💙⚽️🦐
Supporters deserve to have a club. Last season we took more away to any ground than that team brought to us. The fan base is there to launch a new era for
@SUFCRootsHall
but one man and one man only is risking everything and destroying us
To all the
@OfficialOAFC
fans we’ve tried our best. We’ve given the away end a good clean up for you, unfortunately the pitch is a different matter. Guess tomrow will give us a better idea if the game can go ahead but would day the pitch is barely playable Sad times down here
Tonight completed our away season as unable to make Fylde on Saturday.
For me its 21/24 games.

away father and son 💙⚽️🦐
Don’t know if possible. But they should get as many staff, players and management in the centre circle tonight so that they get the thanks and applause they deserve. Make it happen
@SUFCRootsHall
every last one of them 💙🦐⚽️
Lovely to read things like this on a Sunday morning. I love our support and for me it’s the best in the league in terms of numbers and noise, always nice to be recognised by fellow fans. Love this club
@SUFCRootsHall
💙🦐⚽️
For all those
@SUFCRootsHall
fans slating those of us that tuned up today and helped. I will
leave this here:
Fans built and gave the ground to the club in the 50s. So this effort from fans today is built from the halls roots.
@CJPhillips1982
@shrimperstrust
Someone was rather happy yesterday
@rubycurrie
always a lot of noise about King Kev but we shouldn’t ever underestimate the work that John Gowans, Darren &
@benno_1978
do and the loyalty they have all shown. Like Kev they are and always will be true
@SUFCRootsHall
legends 💙🦐⚽️
Love my club
@SUFCRootsHall
it’s been a huge part of my life and my friends and family. The thought of losing it all tomorrow is heartbreaking. I don’t have the answers but pray that those that do can come to an agreement and resolve these issues. 💙🦐⚽️
Apologies
@TheVanaramaNL
I don’t know her name. But the ref at tonight’s Southend Oxford City game was the best we’ve had by a country mile this season. Hope we see her again at our games. Excellent job done
@SUFCRootsHall
I can’t lie, I’m 50 years old and shed a tear. It’s been such a tough few years for the club, players, management, staff and fans. This now gives us hope of better days ahead and start to get our great club back where it belongs. Welcome aboard Justin 💙🦐⚽️🇦🇺
SOUTHEND TIL I DIE
It’s all we have left
@SUFCRootsHall
the silence from the club is deafening. Life without a football club doesn’t bear thinking about. Ron do whatever you have to, just make it right. It’s OUR CLUB, It’s OUR LIFE, it’s OUR LOVE we deserve better. Don’t let this be the end
A word for
@simeonakinola9
for someone who has been pushed to one side you had an excellent 60mins considering so little football played. Hoping to see much more of you over the coming weeks. Well played mate and let’s prove PB
@SUFCRootsHall
wrong 🙏
Can’t be anymore proud of
@kevlaa7
and all the
@SUFCRootsHall
boys tonight. What character shown by the whole team under extreme difficult circumstances and not being paid. A proud shrimper
@BBCEssexSport
if that’s the final Tuesday under lights at RH we’ve gone out in style
Just home from RH. A rewarding day but sad. Ground is in a sorry state. I worked in the away end cleaning seats and sweeping up. Pitch is a mess and not playable at present with fox holes all over and the grass not yet bedded in. Around 150 people turned up, a great effort 💙🦐⚽️
How good was this guy today?Think we’ve found a gem
@SUFCRootsHall
great full debut by
@GusScottmorriss
he just seems to really enjoy playing football and loves being here. What’s not to love 💙🦐⚽️
Had the pleasure of meeting this man before the game today. A great guy and although only a brief chat you can clearly get his passion for all things
@SUFCRootsHall
💙🦐⚽️
Good to spend time with fellow
@SUFCRootsHall
Shrimpers outside Rons house. Good natured and no trouble. Best part of the day was watching a tree fall down in his garden. Lots of people coming and going. If you haven’t done so far get down and show your support 💙🦐⚽️🙏
One thing that has stayed consistent this season has been the level of our
@SUFCRootsHall
support. Only really Dover away have the fans turned against the team. Again today the fans were brilliant and that
@CharlieKelman0
goal was just reward for us today
Not a bad season
@SUFCRootsHall
think some people need to take a step back appreciate what
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
and
@benno_1978
and the lads have produced for our club this season under extreme circumstances. 8 games to go, let’s get behind the lads for the final month 💙🦐⚽️
Thank you all our
@SUFCRootsHall
family. From our disappointment & despair of a long journey & defeat yesterday to losing my dad today. If ever 24 hrs put life in perspective we’ve just experienced it. Completely heartbroken at losing dad. Hope the boys do him proud Saturday 🙏
What a win
@SUFCRootsHall
in difficult conditions. Played the better football and deserved the late win. Great support by the travelling Shrimpers. Shame some abused
@StanCollymore
on the way out again. Not needed.
Wtf is wrong with ours fans. We r all worried & concerned about the state of the club but why abuse some1 who has worked so hard & still is in trying to help turn around the situation. Don’t stop what you are trying to do for our great club
@StanCollymore
@SUFCRootsHall
🙏
Woke up this morning and I’m feeling fine, got
@SUFCRootsHall
on my mind, we’re playing football the way, the way we should. Something tells me I’m into something good!
So much criticism this weekend of the team & the management, We need to pull together like we’ve done so many times before under Kev & co. This is a good squad who have produced miracles under extreme circumstances we need to be UNITED as 1
@SUFCRootsHall
starting Tues 💙🦐⚽️
@SUFCRootsHall
Well we are saved in the short term at least. But the damage it has done to the staff and workers of the club and the clubs reputation as a whole will take a long time to repair. Let’s fill RH Friday now and show the players and Kev our full support 💙🦐⚽️
Today just emphasised what a special club we support. 8000+ for a NL game, live on tv. Atmosphere was great & we never gave up on the team and they rewarded us once again. From the office staff, management, players and fans. We are
@SUFCRootsHall
UNITED. Let the good times return
Today was also especially for
@1tomlawrence
what this man has done for the club should never be forgotten having worked through horrendous times. Can’t think of anyone who could have done a better job and glad that he gets the chance to help move this great club forward
Think whatever happens today and beyond we should thank
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
and
@benno_1978
for their commitment and loyalty to
@SUFCRootsHall
what they achieved last season under horrendous circumstances was nothing short of miraculous. Thank you the three Amigos 💙🦐⚽️
An excellant win by the unpaid
@SUFCRootsHall
lads. Full credit to the whole management and players to produce that performance under such tough circumstances. Deserved win and Bridge on fire. A good afternoon at Roots Hall after a tough week
@BBCEssexSport
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
l
Just doing a rough count and it looks like we’ve sold 500+ already for Saturday. Another huge effort by us
@SUFCRootsHall
Shrimpers. Can’t wait to cheer on
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
and
@benno_1978
and also show thanks to
@YorkCityFC
for their help and support 💙🦐⚽️
Just home. Excellent away day. A brilliant win and 1-0 didnt do our dominance justice. Win important but the performance was top draw. Just watch
@SUFCRootsHall
fly now. In
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
@benno_1978
we trust. Brilliant again to be part of the travelling shrimpers 💙🦐⚽️
Oldham fans are an odd bunch. Some now moaning that we’ve left it too late and now they can’t make it. In return I give you Jan this year and game called off when we already on our way due to a pitch that has been frozen and had been for days. 🤷♂️
Really disappointed to read some of the abuse and criticism
@CJPhillips1982
is getting on FB. Despite our frustrations with
@SUFCRootsHall
CJP is 1 person trying his best to keep the fans, of which he is 1 , updated the best he can. Please give the guy a break.
#heisoneofus
🦐⚽️
Not the best half football wise from
@SUFCRootsHall
but digging in deep and got the goal with a breakaway. But wind a huge factor so to be 1 up at Ht could prove huge. Massive second half coming up. Fans fantastic again
Not going to criticise the
@SUFCRootsHall
lads today. They are running on empty. Debts need to be paid and embargo lifted. It’s killing the club and kevs chances of building something this season
@BBCEssexSport
Huge game today
@SUFCRootsHall
live on TV, 600 Daggers travelling & another crowd over 7000. Let’s get right behind
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
@benno_1978
and show what we are all about on and off the pitch. Need W block big time today.
This lot deserve it.
Southend til I die 💙🦐⚽️
A plea again to all
@SUFCRootsHall
fans. Please get down to Roots Hall on Saturday. It may be our last ever home game.
@kevlaa7
and this squad deserve our support and have made us proud of our club despite all the off field issues. Let’s fill Roots Hall and get it rocking 🙏🦐⚽️
43 years supporting
@SUFCRootsHall
a house full of memories. Now the club is staring down the barrel. 116 years of history slowly disappearing before our very eyes. Simply heartbreaking 💔🦐⚽️ 1/2
New manager ✅
New CEO✅
Rm/fan zooms ✅
4 new signings ✅
White & Hobson staying ✅
Better communication from the club ✅
Excellent new ST prices & incentives✅
NL maybe, but it feels like for the first time in a long time that the fans feel connected again with
@SUFCRootsHall
@SUFCRootsHall
A sold out RH as well. Win, lose or draw everyone of these is a hero and deserve our thanks and appreciation. For those that leave early, please stay and thank Kev,
@rubycurrie
@benno_1978
and all the players and staff for what they have done for our club this season 💙🦐⚽️
What a night
@SUFCRootsHall
huge crowd and the boys didn’t let us down, that was a big statement tonight. Our biggest test this year and passed it with flying colours,. Kevolution continues
@BBCEssexSport
now onto Woking. Come on u shrimpers
Win, lose or draw today let’s just remember the horrendous summer
@kevlaa7
@rubycurrie
@benno_1978
and the lads have been through. They deserve huge credit, thanks and our support for 90 mins. Let’s get behind them 100%
@SUFCRootsHall
Shrimpers. Southend til I die
#martinout
🦐
A plea to my fellow
@SUFCRootsHall
shrimpers. It’s been a tough month and what we have is what we have. The team has a lot of young players who are being thrust into first team football. Leave the off field stuff outside and get behind Sol and the lads for 90 mins. UTB 🦐⚽️🦐⚽️
Don’t care what any1 says, I’m bloody proud of the
@SUFCRootsHall
boys today. Battled hard & got what we deserved & with a stronger side it might have been more. But it’s a start & should take confidence into next week. Plus a few players back from injury and a couple new signed
Just getting ready to pop down to
@SUFCRootsHall
to help with project clean up. Would urge anyone who has a spears hour or two to please come and help. This isn’t about helping Ron, this is about helping each other and to try and help get the season started at RH 🙏🦐⚽️
A winning start for the mighty
@SUFCRootsHall
shrimpers, made hard work of it in the end, but could have won by more but then Arnold made two excellent saves, but three points is massive for PB and the team. Mom Dalby, fans non stop singing
@SUFCRootsHall
possibly our last game of the season. But win, lose or draw it’s been some season under extreme circumstances. Today is our chance to say thanks for what this special group of players & management have done for our club, legends for life 💙⚽️🦐
@SUFCRootsHall
what a find this lad has been
@AdamCrowther10
doubt there is a team with better defenders In this league but Adam has just rocked up and now has the shirt. With Taylor, Ralph, Kensdale, Gus, JD, Lomas and Crowther we are very blessed
Full credit firstly to the
@ChesterfieldFC
fans. Nearly 500 turned up for a game live on tv. But secondly to Paul Cooke. Not a fans favourite for sure but very gracious in defeat and honest assessment. Good luck this season and see you in January for the return fixture.
Impeccable minutes silence this afternoon for the young lad sadly killed yesterday in Stock
@Mayflower_High
. Well done to
@BTFC
and those in attendance. Life more important than football 💔
To date including 16 league and 1 FA Cup away games we’ve taken approx 10951 fans at an average of 644. Outstanding effort considering what we’ve been going through. Well done
@SUFCRootsHall
Shrimpers
@kevlaa7
Barmy army 💙🦐⚽️
Huge game tonight
@SUFCRootsHall
looking like a near 7000 crowd. Let’s get behind the boys and ramp up the atmosphere. W Block in full voice and others will follow. 4th place at stake for this fantastic group. Let’s give them everything from the stands
@kevlaa7
Barmy army 💙🦐⚽️
Can believe some
@SUFCRootsHall
fans. We make a signing a decent one at that yet people still criticise with sarcastic comments. Don’t need to support RM but let’s at least get behind MM and the lads we have, not much else we can do at the moment
We might be going down
@SUFCRootsHall
but our support once again was fantastic today. We have left disappointed but not disgraced and the future looks a bright one. It’s hard being a Shrimper at times but I’m proud of everyone of us
Game day
@SUFCRootsHall
wishing
@MarkMolesley20
@jonnywhite25
& the boys good luck in today’s tough game. To the fans, Rome wasn’t built overnight. MM must be given time to build & establish a team to compete and win football matches. Let’s give him the support he needs 💙🦐⚽️
