Football League Grounds Frenzy

Southend FC


Roots Hall
This ground is pretty good for an all-seater, although I wouldn't like to have to sit in some of the seats squeezed in on the old terraces. The stand looks older than its 40-odd years; the two barrel-roofed stands were difficult to photograph due to the extended ends which was a shame. I hoped to be able to get into the small double-decker but its upper level was locked, a shame as it would have been a good place to take a couple of photos. Frustratingly the sun came out as I was about to leave, but at least I could retrace my steps for a couple of extra shots.
