So ORM and Overseas Shrimpers

 naah naah

We'll have none of this 'up to date' malarky, thank you very much.

Valid points from the mayor. And, sad to admit, I think most people DO have a favourite Premier$hite team as well as supporting a lower league outfit. It's one of the first things I am asked after I reveal I am a Southend fan : "Ah! That's nice. But who do you REALLY support?" It really gets up my nose ...

That's what I thought.

 

[Ron Manager]

A valid explanation for the photograph, it was taken not in his official capacity as Mayor but as a private memento.

I think therefore the petition had the desired effect and has also opened up a dialouge between the fans and the leader of the council at a time when we and the club need them on-side.

Good work Naps and the rest of the team, this is just the sort of thing that (I believe) the site should be doing.

Causing controversy? We love it!

 

[Napster]

Cheers Ron. What next for us? A take on Fossetts Farm, you say? OK.

Well, causing controversy yes. But also asking questions that need to be asked and having the weight of a significant number of people behind you to get answers.

Exactly...

That's the power of a site like this.

Napster sits in SZ towers, planning to take over the world.

PLUS - we haven't finished with the Club Shop yet........

I have to say, I thought it was quite a strong reaction at the time but I'm not going to come on here with an 'I told you so type post'.

Instead, I think the whole episode has been beneficial for all parties involved. We've given the mayor a greater awareness of public feeling for SUFC and the mayor has given us a greater understanding of his support for Southend, no doubt aiding his personal perception.

What shall we complain about next......

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Good reply!

Good profile for him, and for SZ too!
