Thank You Vizeh, this means a lot to all of us who support Southend

[percentSNAFU]

Colchester supporter here, and while yes Southend may be our rivals, I hate to see this happen to any small club. Things are not the best for us now either although looks like we will probably just barely stay up in the EFL. Best of luck to Southend and the supporters and here's to hoping things get better, even if the outlook is bleak right now.

I feel so sorry for the Southend United fans getting no media coverage is a disgrace. I think Southend will not be the last club to suffer like this lucky the government white papers has gone through on the football fan led review. Keep fighting hard to save Southend United never give up.

This was a great video Liam, but sadly as long as teams like Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle, and possibly Manchester United keep raking in the big bucks, no one else stands a chance.

In the early 2010s, I remember watching Sky Sports News every day after school to see what was happening with my team Portsmouth. Thankfully in 2013 the Supporters' Trust were able to buy the club, pay off the debts, and get us promoted to League One.

My heart breaks for teams like Bury, Macclesfield, Luton, Bolton, Rangers, Crawley, Portsmouth, and Southend (to name a few) who either have been liquidated or have been close to liquidation due to poor management.

Glad people like you are covering this. It's ridiculous that this isn't mainstream news. I'm a Maidstone United fan so have been very aware of the Scunthorpe and Southend situations as a result. Hope it gets resolved as nobody wants a club to go bust

[asptx]

Thank you Liam, us Southend fans have been wanting and needing coverage on this for so long 🙏

[alfie]

Amazing vid. Would love to see more videos of clubs downfalls and potential rise again? Such as Sunderland, Bolton, Stoke.

Glad to see someone covering this. I’m a Pompey fan, and I’ve been trying to talk about this on social media. But everyone responds to me with sarcastic `what do you want us to do about it’ Everyone stood there when Bury went out of business and said that it could never happen again. And now Southend are on the brink and nobody cares, but they’ll come out with their declarative empty statements and tweets if Southend go out of business. Southend have one of the best fan-bases I’ve ever come across and they deserve so much better.

Hi Viz!
I just want to thank you for bringing this up to my attention.
I follow my local top tier club in Norway (Sandefjord), and i have since the new year startet my very own podcast with my mate about the club and Norwegian football in general.
This story has touched my heart, and i have fully determined myself to investigate on this dark story.
Yesterday we recorded a bonus-episode talking about lower League football in England despite our podcast mainly talk about everything Norwegian.

I gave that episode 27 whole minutes talking only about Southend United and all the crisis happening. Ive also trough my platform given other larger fotballing podcasts who i know directly the word about this.
This will be brought up to attention to footbal fans within my community, and a lot of other communities within Norway now, and all of this is because of this video!
Our podcast are named Blå Ball if you were curious

I just want to let you know, that even if you didnt think so, you are making impact mate❤️

[KasparTheFriendlyGOAT]

Thank you so much for doing this, for covering a story that mainstream media just ignore (sadly)

[gojvac]

Im glad that you started to produce content like this. Keep it up. Cheers from Croatia

[RoughWeightloss]

Really sad this, went southend a few years ago with Wigan, lost but it was still a good day! Best of luck to southend.

[MaxCAFC-]

Hope Southend stay alive from a Charlton fan Southend was always a good away day we are and were experiencing the same thing #SaveSUFC #SaveCAFC

[hypeclaneu]

Says a lot about the media that this is the first Ive seen of this

[neilholden]

this reminds me of my club Macclesfield Town. as it is we are reborn with a new owner who supports the club along with Robbie Savage. good luck for the future

[TDlovestrains]

I really feel for Southend. I'm a Notts County fan. This nearly happen to us. Southend are a close club to me as it was my first away day. They are a great club and do not deserve this. #savesouthend

[tomlee]

I very much appreciate you taking the time to put this video together. I have been supporting Southend since I was a schoolboy, with my first game in August 1966. I have seen so many games at Roots Hall (as well as away games) and have had some wonderful years watching them. I have taken my son and daughter to games and now take my two grandsons. We have a third grandson due any day, but I fear I will never be able to take him as I am so afraid that March 1 will be the day my club dies. The owner will not entertain outside investment, and we do not have the money to go on. Even though work took me to locate my home to other counties, my grandsons have the love for the club that I do. I fear that our last game (a last-minute win 2-1 Vs Darlington in the FA Trophy last month) will be the last we can see. I hope I am wrong. Thanks again for highlighting our plight. Just a thought. A couple of month's worth of a Premiership player's wages would see us

[MaximumRooRoo]

This means so much to me as I live in Southend and I can't see this club go bust with all the history we had over the years and is it okay to share this video

[beedeesirf]

3:14 Black Ops online menu theme! Wasn't expecting to hear that on a video on Southend United. Thank you Liam- great video as always 👍

[Drrpe]

I’m a Tottenham fan but I was born and raised in southend I went to the game against Gateshead
