Death of a Chairman

BA Acting & Community Theatre

Who does a club really belong to? Why does football instil such passion? And what can people achieve when they unite?

 

The story of Southend United is one of extreme highs and extreme lows. Southend United's survival has been threatened, facing court battles, winding up orders, tax penalties and transfer embargos. Now, the club's dedicated and increasingly determined fan base have taken matters into their own hands staging protests on and off the pitch demanding their right to be heard, raising their voices in support of a club run for the people, not just for profit.
