A Bit of Fun The Plaque

[The.plaque]

In the early hours of Saturday morning, before our first home game, the plaque was screwed to a poster on the derelict house next to the club shop.
The poster a reminder of Mr. Martin’s failed dream for himself, which nearly brought about the end for the club we love.
Thanks to everyone who received it as the tongue in cheek gesture it was.

Good times from here on in.

I loved it - well done whoever done it

 

[Ramsdenblue]

Yes - Well done
i think it needs to stay there up on the wall for all to see.

They say never extinguish or gloss over history, as if you do, you will never learn the past mistakes.

So there that plague needs to remain as a reminder of our past history that took the club to its lowest ebb.

The derelict house used to be the club shop, before it moved down to the traffic lights. My parents took me there to buy my first ever Southend top in 1977. The red white and blue one from Dave Smith's reign.

What was really funny was as I left the ground after the game on Saturday, as I walked through the car park, there was a dead rat on the edge of the car park...I should have taken a picture!!!

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Absolutely brilliant well done

I went to the one by the traffic lights on a school trip to the club in, I think 1975 so this must have been the club shop before or after then.

Yes, it was a couple of shops up from the corner. Bill ( forgot his surname! ) & his wife used to run it.

I remember the club shop down there, don't ever remember it in that building where the plaque was put - had a feeling it was used as digs by players for a while. Anyway, excellent work.

I heard it was Banksy.

Quick, fence if off and notify the press.

Bill Clowes and his wife worked in the Pools Office on behalf of Southend United Development and were at that time around 1975 looking for agents at Marconi Ltd., Yardleys of Basildon, Standard Telephones & Ilford Films Ltd. As you said Tony they worked in the shop close to the traffic lights at the bottom of the hill opposite Roots Hall. I also worked with them in that shop on match days on behalf of the Supporters Club in the late 70's and early 80's.
