    Postponed FC

    Southend United’s game at Aldershot was called off just 95 minutes before kick-off and fans were already on the road. In this episode of The Custard Splat, Scott and Oli react to another National League postponement, discuss the communication around waterlogged pitches, and break down the brutal reality of Southend now facing 15 games in 49 days. What does this fixture congestion mean for the Shrimpers’ season, squad fitness, and playoff hopes? And how can the process improve for supporters? If you were travelling to Aldershot, we want to hear from you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  3. The Price of Promotion

    5 FEB

    The Price of Promotion

    How much does promotion actually cost? Forest Green Rovers have published their numbers and they’re eye-watering. £6.5 million a year on wages alone. Championship-level spending. And here’s the mad bit… Despite all that? They’re right there with us in the same play-off fight. So it got us thinking: Is throwing money at a league the smart way to get out of it? Or is building sustainably, backing good recruitment, culture and togetherness actually the better long-term play? We chat through: What £6.5m wages really means at this levelWhy budgets don’t always equal successThe difference between “buying” promotion vs earning itWhere Southend sit in the picture financiallyAnd whether patience + sustainability might actually win the race A proper reality check on what we’re up against and why maybe we’re doing things the right way. Because if money guaranteed promotion… the table would look very different. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  4. Always the Bridesmaid

    29 JAN

    Always the Bridesmaid

    It’s been a tough week for The Shrimpers. A breathless 3–3 draw with Boston United, followed by a late defeat at the hands of Rochdale, has seen Southend slip out of the play-off places and you can feel the mood dip across the fanbase. In this episode we get into what those results really mean, how fragile momentum feels right now, and whether patience is wearing thin. The big question: if COSU are serious about promotion this season, will they back it with investment - or are we expected to make do? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  5. On The Road Again

    22 JAN

    On The Road Again

    We touch on the Bring Back the Splat campaign and why identity and heritage still matter at Southend United, before diving into the club’s “Draw Her Into the Game” campaign and the launch of Southend’s first-ever female mascot. On the pitch, we review the draw at York City and the impressive 4–1 win over Eastleigh, then look ahead to a brutal run of five consecutive away games, starting with Boston United. We finish by shouting out the Southend United U18s, who take on Wrexham tonight at Roots Hall in the FA Youth Cup. Up the Splat Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  6. One Number 1

    15 JAN

    One Number 1

    It’s been another busy one at Roots Hall and there’s plenty for us to get stuck into. We talk through Nick Hayes’ move to Hartlepool and what that means behind the scenes, Adam Crowther’s departure to Chelmsford, and the club’s plans to appoint a new Director of Football as the next phase of the rebuild continues. There’s also reaction to the news of Ron Martin being declared bankrupt, what (if anything) it changes for Southend United, and where the club stands now off the pitch. And to finish on a high, we look back at positive progress in the FA Trophy and what it could mean for confidence and momentum going forward. Hosted on Acast.
