SOUTHEND United fans who subscribe to the Echo can now enter our competition to win a selection of Shrimpers prizes.
Subscriptions for the whole of 2025 are currently available for just £25 which is more than 50 per cent off full-price or alternatively readers can subscribe for £6 for six months.
And anyone taking advantage of the offers will go into a draw to win a signed Freddy Eastwood photo from the memorable match against Manchester United.
Also included in the prize is a signed Adam Barrett team-sheet from Blues’ play-off final success against Wycombe Wanderers in 2015 and a shirt signed by your current favourite Shrimpers player.
The Echo’s Blues reporter Chris Phillips has won awards for his reporting from Roots Hall and provides the most extensive coverage of the club available.
On average, he writes close to 200 sports stories a month – making the current offer a real bargain.
A digital subscription is the best way to read our news site online, as subscribers have unlimited access to news articles, with fewer ads and interruptions.
In addition to unlimited access to articles and fewer ads, subscribers can also enjoy monthly savings on big brands through the reader rewards scheme, as well as puzzles that you can play online.
Access to the ad-free app is also included with a digital subscription, available on mobile and tablet from the Apple App Store and Google Play.
App users can browse all news stories, play puzzles and more without any ad interruptions.
Subscribers can also read the digital edition of the paper, which is a replica of the printed newspaper.
The digital edition can be accessed on the website and through our ad-free app.
Readers can subscribe for just £6 for the first six months or get an annual subscription at only £25 for all of 2025 (more than 50 per cent off the full price of £52) if they join before the promotion ends.
After the six-month trial period, the monthly subscription will be renewed at £4.99 per month.
