5 years time...

[adam3811]

This has probably been asked and discussed before, but where do you see Southend United being in five years time?

Championship? Bottom, top?
Stuck in League 1?

 

[Sussex Shrimper]

Settled into the new stadium, as serious contenders in League One with genuine potential to grow and sustain a position in the Championship under the management of Steve Tilson, our answer to Dario Gradi.

 

[Yer Blues]

id have to say they will probably still be in southend.

 

[Rayleigh boy]

premirship - season tickets 1100 quid - 22k fossetts farm sold out for the season -

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Following the split in the football league over the use of cloned players Southend will be part of the galactic league, with the Fossetts Stadium brought up to galactic league standards with the addition of anti-gravity foundations, and expanded seating. We will field a team of cloned yesteryear heores including Powell & Collymore, Freddy will have just re-signed, Tilly will still be manager and Lee Barnard will still be on the injury list. We will finish second to IFK Gothenburg, and attract crowds of 101,000.

That or what Sussex said.

I'd probably settle for that after seeing the accounts Firestorm posted, it seems the finances aren't fantastic.

One thing I'd add to that is an average attendance of 14,000.

That situation would be very nice.

As part of the new franchise system launched by the Football League we will no longer be known as Southend United. Instead, we will represent the whole county and will be known as the Essex Shrimpers.

We will defeat the Cornwall Pasties in the final of the Five Alive Cup, a five-a-side competition (rolling subs, no over head height, keeper can't come out of the box) which will be the only football tournament still being played at senior level in England. Paul Furlong, re-signed due to his ability in this form of the game, will score the winner.

That or what Drastic Surgeon said about what Sussex said.

 

[Napster]

reborn as AFC Southend, after a merger with Southend Manor. SUFC is now Brentwood FC.

 

[NZamba Legend]

I just hope the Bluesworld camera will have been fixed...

 

[Basildon Blue]

Mid table Chamionship side. Average attendance around 16,000 at Fossetts Farm. Tilly still manager with Moussa as the captain.

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

2nd bottom in League Two with Tilly and Brush recently departed, the two of them adhering to the sensible advice of "leave things as you found them".

 

[Pubey]

Debutants in the Europa Superleague

 

[leeblue]

All hinges on the fossests farm scenario really, if and I believe its still a big if, the new ground is built we could be a championship club averaging around 13/14k crowds

 

[Davros]

Middle of the championship, having just signed an injury prone Dan Gosling and an ageing Michael Owen

 

[Firestorm]

10th in league one , still waiting for FF to be started

 

[Pubey]

Still about to sign Matt Lockwood

 

[MK Shrimper]

Playing Accrington Stanley in the Champions League final.

 

[leeblue]

10th in league one , still waiting for FF to be started

very very possible IMO

 

[Swiss Tony]

10th in league one , still waiting for FF to be started

I would take that over the scenario of having 30pts deduction and going into the conference like Luton,bloody hell how bad would that be?
Sometimes all the millions mentioned with the supposed FF makes me very uncomfortable.

 

[Dave of the Match]

Champions League final, Steve Mildenhall scoring in the last minute to equalise, Southend win 5-4 on pens.
Lineup:

---------------Mildy-------------
Nevielle --- Clarke ---- Piqué --- Evra
Ronaldo -- Gerrard -- Iniesta -- Riera
------- Crouch -- Eastwood ------

That or what Sussex said.
