ah, but the love of football is from the heart, not the birth certificate. you being a Villan n all. It'd odd, but i'm often to be found on the BBC Southend United forum, and there, as most places, we are more often known as The Blues than the Shrimpers. I agree there is an important aspect of heritage there, such as Arsenal being The Gunners, but I think The Shrimpers probably didn't pass a marketing test somewhere around 1999 and was pushed quietly aside, like the old Sammy The Shrimp costume

Southend United are the Shrimpers, not The Blues!
we're both, and Up The Shrimpers sounds like something the Tory front bench world do
"we're"? I was born closer to the ground than you! Blues is awful - it denies the heritage.
