I had a Cheeseburger which was really good and reasonably priced.Apart from crawling along the A127 at the beginning, the rest of the journey home was good and we arrived back in Milton Keynes at midnight.Good performance, good beer, good food and apart from travelling down in the rush hour, the evening was very enjoyable.Having regretted not going to Portsmouth the previous week I made a late decision to go to Southend. We didn't really see many home fans but there didn't seem to be any hostility about either.Roots Hall is looking a bit run down these days but it looks like it gets the job done. Clean but with constant queues.The refreshment area was a grotty little room housed a couple of tables and a handful of loose seats. The West Stand I was in has an unusual high arched roof and I was sat in front of the press gantry which involved the journalists strapping on a harness and climbing a ladder - definite character!I was intending to walk back to the town centre but I was so frozen I decided to get the bus back. Also, this was my fourth visit in as many years.Very easy by car. Bonne disponibilité et tarifs concurrentiels. We found the Roots Hall ground with ease and we parked in Priory Road next to a park which was a 4-5 minute walk away from the ground.We had food in the car on the way but right near the ground is 'Pizza Man' which looked okay. The only downside to the visit to The Last Post was they were showing the Southampton vs Plymouth match on the TV, and then changed it to the Rangers vs Man City friendly!! I noticed there was a small car park too for away fans, very secure and directly outside the away end.I walked up to the seafront which is stunning with the UK’s longest pier. Judging by the number of fans standing outside eating fish and chips (there is some seating inside as well), then I'm not the only one that thinks it is good.From M25 take Junction 29 and follow the A127 to Southend. This stand which was opened in 1994, replaced a former open terrace and greatly improved the overall look. The 1,903 visiting fans were amazing the noise felt like 10,000 away supporters at times! The food room was a good place to stat warm and out of the icy wind being a coastal town in the middle of winter don't expect anything less.Coaches and cars from the away end were straight out, no issues.Another ground ticked off. Similar to the away end at Luton they have bolted seats onto what was shallow terracing (two steps per row of seats) which means you don’t have much leg room and will quite easily do some damage to your ankle if you were to jump up to celebrate a goal (as turned out to be the case!! One goal that looked fine was ruled offside, whilst there was more controversy when a goal line ball clearance by a Southend player, looked to have crossed the line. There were plenty of shops in the town centre. The home fans seemed friendly as well as the stewards.Roots Hall is an old looking ground which looks like it needs a bit of doing up but as I'm a bit old fashioned I love the traditional looking grounds over the boring soulless modern stadiums.The game was a good one which ended 2-2 with Northampton twice coming from a goal down. My friend dragged me to Mawsons micropub on Southchurch Road. If you turn right as you reach the ground, this will put you behind the away end where there is plenty of street parking to be found. The away end is okay. To do this click on the cookie settings button below.Southend United Football Club 2019/20 Commercial Brochure. The pub which was full of away fans was small but friendly, but no Sky Sports. * Please note that these prices are for tickets purchased prior to matchday. Straight away and home by 11pm.A much needed three points for the Stanley to make a long day worthwhile and made even better by going on the pitch to read Stanleys team out.Whilst I have previously visited this ground on a number of occasions, this was an important Cup game bearing in mind the winner could draw a "big" club in the next round.I went by the official coach. However, the seats in the North Bank were just bolted on to an old, gently sloping, terrace. Could do with a few stadium maps around as I had to ask in order to find the right entrance. But with five more ground to go to complete the 92. And the businesses that normally rely on custom from Southend's fans have also been empty as a result, even since they've been given the go-ahead to reopen from the government. I'd never been to Roots Hall before, so I was curious. We didn’t visit them unfortunately but all the city fans in them looked like they were having a class time.It’s a very old school style of ground.
