The Shrimpers Trust is delighted to announce that we have now reached our initial goal of 1906 members.
In September 2023 we set out to reach the symbolic figure to reflect the year of Southend United Football Club’s foundation as a means to increase our mandate and to ensure that the voice of supporters is enhanced.
To celebrate our history and the significance of the number 1906 the Blue Boar public house, the birthplace of Southend United FC, will now hold Shrimpers Trust membership number 1906.
We would also like to share this occasion with our members and a draw was made using a random number generator, and we are pleased to announce the following prizes and winners:
| Membership Number | Name | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | 2 x tickets to Southend United FC’s Sponsors Evening | 1967 | David Bell |
| 2nd Prize | 2 x tickets to Legends Lounge on a home matchday | 1443 | Adam Pye |
| 3rd Prize | 1 complimentary upgrade to life membership | 4992 | James Larby |
| 4th Prize | 8 issue subscription to All At Sea fanzine | 3992 | John Crickson |
| 5th Prize | One merchandise goody bag including our new Kevin Maher scarf | 23 | Nigel Rickard |
The winners will be contacted shortly using the email address registered with us – keep an eye on your in-box!
We will also be giving away a prize of one of our Roots Hall prints, designed by local artist Keith Bird, to one lucky winner on social media. All you have to do is like and share this post and we will announce the winner before our next home game on 24th February.
