Time to grow up?
I am 40 years old and have supported the Shrimpers for 34 years. I am as passionate now as I was as a 7 year old. Although sitting in the East Yellows with my son, now in his third year as a ST holder we love getting behind the team and trying to get the atmosphere at the hall going. We are...- shrimperjon

TBV placement for restricted opening matches
Posted this comment on the thread about whether TBV should be in the East or the West but no-one picked up on it so am re-posting it. I really think it's something worth thinking about - Just a thought on last night, I wonder if it is worth asking the club if they will reserve a section -...- OldBlueLady

Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-0 Plymouth Argyle
What can one say, I am a fan of PS but today was a pleasure to watch again as a Southend fan. Work rate was top class and fitness I've never seen before for a long time. It's not going to be an easy season with the Tuesday nights playing on a cold frozen pitch so we need to mix it up a bit. What...- Leoblue

Plymouth Argyle Fan In Peace
Hi guys, hope you don't mind me posting, very much looking forward to our game on Saturday. Just thought I'd post a quick preview from a green army view and ask a few questions if that is okay.

Question Do you want the new stadium now?
So after the many comments about how poor the atmosphere was at Wembley because the fans were too spread out.The question is: Do you still want a huge new stadium with only 6,000 or so fans rattling around inside of it?- IloveShrimp

The melodrama on these boards
So from what I can ascertain people didnt enjoy themselves yesterday and the atmosphere was bad. There were too many 'day trippers' which ruined it for everyone else and not enough people were singing. Mohsni is the devil and his display made us lose the match. Really? REALLY?

The Green Man Pub Today
I know they must be used to big crowds but the set up was immense. To take in about 5000 fans with nobody really waiting to be served by the inside and outside bars and the food choices they put out around the venue was simply superb.

Weird Atmosphere
Hi, shame about the result but great day out notwithstanding the very strange atmosphere. Have been to hundreds of blues matches over many years but never heard the crowd so quiet . Block 233. Anyone agree?- Shrimperjohn

Time to move on
So it's been a crazy few days, PS out and back in for Wembley and PB in as our new boss. The General vibe on here has been pretty negative to the situation and especially to Ron Martin, which is nothing unusual.

Will Wembley help improve attendances
With our average gate this season again dropping and without figures im guessing around 4700-4800, do you think that the day out at Wembley might intice a few supporters back to Roots Hall or even start coming having never been before? Also do you think whether we win will also affect this? I...- shrimperjon

Attendance question
I notice quite a lot of people mentioned the attendance last night which led me to question: If you were offered a crowd of 3,000 with tickets priced at £20 each or a crowd of 6,000 with tickets priced at £10 each, what would you choose? I’m not suggesting there is a direct correlation of...- Juggler90

The atmosphere (or lack of) v Gillingham
Was it me, or was the atmosphere really dire the other day ? After singing along in the North Bank all season, I returned (with my kids) to the Family Enclosure against the Gills.

Shrimper fans away at Bury!
I have to say the atmosphere that the Southend fans created yesterday was absolutely awesome. I've not heard a continuous backing like that for a long time from any set of fans anywhere. Started after 60 minutes and didn't let up at all until the game ended. Proud to be a Shrimper- Bury Shrimper
