Songs and Chants

[Southminster Shrimper]

So while Putin is bombing Ukraine, that could be the start of WWIII, you are worried that our songs should become more friendly to our female and non binary fans!! This country is well and truly €¥[<€}

How about "we're the Southend boys, girls, them, there, they, why, how, of, what LBTQ+ making all the noise, every where we go.

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

He is our Polish man
He'll get you if he can
He drives a dodgy van
He is a Southend fan
Lapota, Lapota, Lapota, Lapota

I always used to love watching Knees up Mother Brown in the North Bank back in the day!

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I always used to love watching Knees up Mother Brown in the North Bank back in the day!

I was right in amongst it when I was a lad. Came a cropper one day though. I went over during a really rough knees up Mother Brown, tumbling down the concrete steps and was trampled on as I went. Lol.

Remember going to Watford on New Years Day 1974 , 12 Leigh Boys went in the Watford Rookery End and stood right in the middle of all the Watford . At 5 to 3 they let out the chant U, N , I , T , E , D , after a good few punches being thrown the Leigh Boys were then escorted back to the Southend at the other end of the ground .

You lot weren't really boys though S, you were all about 19-20 years old for that game.

is it definitely FOR the Southend away, or FOLLOW Southend away? Ive never known which :D

I remember back about 5 years ago, away at Peterborough, we first started to sing
We are Southend away
Were Southend away
Were Southend away.

Which is much better than Follow SUFC away, and I still always sing WERE SOUTHEND AWAY.

So if you hear someone singing WE ARE SOUTHEND AWAY, then it's me, come over and say hi.

Hope he didn't take offence to the 'dodgy van' bit. I apologise to everyone if he did

This is the trouble
It’s the next line I don’t get?

He’s from Afghanistan

And then a line which I think rather undersells the refugee experience of having to flee your home and apply for asylum in a foreign country and one he possibly may not appreciate fans glibly singing about given that he still has family back in Afghanistan living under their rule.
