When Bill Shankly said that football wasn't a matter of life or death it was more important than that, he was of course being ironic. Someone on the Shrimperzone summed it for me when they said that they don't care whether the club are relegated this season, all they want is for every single Southend fan to be there next season. All of our older supporters, all of our vulnerable supporters of all ages, I just want them to be there next season. Southend might go bust over this and a few months ago I would have been mortified. Today I couldn't care less because if that does happen, we'll reform and start again in the Essex Senior League with as many of our supporters there as possible.
I'm going out for long walks as well. I live only a minute fro the seafront but I leave that to the children and old folks to enjoy. I drive 10 minutes and walk a bit more of the seawall each day and have done about 35 miles this week.. On one side I have a muddy creek and on the other I have farmland with me walking on a 20ft high embankment. Today I walked for 7 miles and passed three people. We gave each other a wide berth, with smiles and a few waves, but it's my method of coping.
