Well it’s another interesting day in the life of a Southend supporter. I woke up today not knowing whether I’d still have a football team to support by the end of it. Southend United Football Club is a club after my own heart…they like to do things last minute and they’re very jammy when it comes to deadlines. After having their court hearing adjourned this morning until this afternoon, they were then given another week to pay off an outstanding tax bill.
If this isn’t enough we came back from being behind twice last night to draw 2-2 against Brentford. Talk about drama I nearly had a heart attack listening to it. Laurent you beauty. Although this means we need to win our next three games if we want to stay up. If we don’t win this Saturday I think we’ll most likely go down. It pains me to say it but I’m a realist, and British, which means I set myself up for disappointment so as to soften the blow.
Finally it was good to see us on Sky Sports News only if it was brief and about the court hearing but it was positive the reporter said nothing to worry about. And when are journalists ever wrong?
Latest on this news is that today, Tuesday 20th April, the tax bill is paid. Southend will appear in court tomorrow as a formality.
