Save Our Southend 🆘🦐

🐀

We are so stoked to be collaborating with @SUFCRootsHall and @OfficialTBV to put on a great visual display for our team of heroes at Wembley, and have put £2,000 towards it ourselves. If you can spare even £5 or £10, it'll be a MASSIVE help. Let's get behind the boys! 🔵🟡🦐🏟

🎨 In collaboration with @shrimperstrust and @OfficialTBV, we're fundraising for a large-scale tifo to be unveiled ahead of our Promotion Final. Help us reach our target below ⤵️

“We want to mark this occasion with, what we consider to be a very powerful display, that will be a long-lasting memory for not just its fans or the staff, but for everyone connected to Southend United FC and its wider community." 🔵⚽️

Alongside @BayoAlaba and @DavidBSampson, I implore @wembleystadium to let the fans in. #LetTheFansIn #SUFC

Dear @SadiqKhan @TheVanaramaNL @TfL Oldham play Southend on June 1st at Wembley for a place back in the Football League. Both clubs have huge numbers who want to attend and support their team, just like Palace, City, Forest, Villa and Liverpool fans have this season without issue. Because of engineering works the suggestion is a restriction on numbers as Wembley Park station will be closed. This is neither the fault of either club and the proposed cap on supporters, many of whom will be visiting Wembley for the first and maybe last time are being unfairly punished. The record for a NL playoff final is 47,000. It's safe to say that without restrictions this record would be broken, but any cap would not only be unfair to supporters who don't often get the opportunity for a Wembley day out but would probably not be implemented would this be a Premier League or England national team game. Clubs in the pyramid need every opportunity they can get to shine, compete and grow their supporter base and Wembley is always an opportunity to do so, along with stimulating support in the communities of Oldham and Southend respectively. Mr Mayor, as we have followed each other for some time on here, I'd be more than happy to set out a thousand reasons why it is important for both clubs to be fully represented at Wembley, and should only be afforded the same privilege as any club, namely to "fill the damn place". National League and EFL clubs are hamstrung enough in this day and age where the top of the pyramid rules, I hope between you you could find a sensible solution to allow Oldham Athletic and Southend United supporters their day too.
