Question If Southend United never existed

[WoodhamShrimper]

If the town of Southend didn't have a team in the football league, who would you be surporting?

No one, as imho your Team picks you (ie I was born and bred there) rather than you picking a Team.

I'm rather relieved that I wasn't born in Colchester!!

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

No idea. The only other team I take an interest in is Swansea, as I lived there for 5 years. Were there no Southend though, I'd have probably ended up following some other team.

Wouldn't have been the same though

Toss up between Billericay and Brentwood..Or just concentrate on playing?

I guess if Southend United did not exist we would have a pretty strong non-league side. But it is possible that the non-league side would have also made it into the Football League a bit like Southend United so we could be supporting a pretty similar club if we had not been formed in 1906.

Lets face it most towns of Southend's size have or have had a Football League club at some time during the last 100 years.

Tottehnam Hotspur I'm afraid

Wimbledon, I lived opposite Kingsmeadow for 2 years (though never set foot in there till Southend youth played Kingstonian) and am now a stones through from Merton and because its a vote against franchise

Think I would drift between local non league games as I see fit. Very bored of all the money in modern football.

That's not strictly true.

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

MK Dons. Simply because win, lose or draw, just being there in the first place would irritate the hell out of the opposition and their supporters.

My old man was from Walthamstow and tried to make me a Spurs fan, In the 70's we used to watch Southend friday nights and Spurs on Saturdays, those were the days when it was cheap to go watch football...

It would cost you a lot more to watch Southend these days !

I remember reading Frank Skinners autobiography a few years back and his take on it was this 'when you're old enough, you find the nearest professional football club to where you were born then support them until you die.'

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

For me, it's be Legia Warsaw, I would watch Chelmsford City if Southend United wasn't there.

 

[alginon1]

Tottenham Hotspur

 

[Firestorm]

In a parallel universe somewhere I am a spurs fan.
Had my WHL season ticket holding Grandad not passed away when I was very young I am sure I would have taken to see Spurs as a child
