Yesterday Southend City Football Club played their first game in their new home ground for this season.
In a tough friendly match against Epping Town. City’s manager L’Heureux Menga fielded a side of players trialing for spots in the new team and was keen to try out some new formations, experimenting with the style of play throughout the game.
Although the score line didn’t reflect City’s performance, it was good to see some more exciting spells of attacking football, some solid tackles and even a few goals for the home side.
Southend City Football Club will play their home games at Lakeside Sports Ground, a short distance from Lakeside Shopping Centre and Lakeside Carting. With a floodlit pitch, a clubhouse with extended decking, a fully licensed bar and kitchen, free parking and even an on-site car wash, City’s first season promises to be an exciting one in a new home that will surely come to hold many great memories for both home fans and travelling supporters.
Southend City’s first game of the new season will see them host Soul at home for a 12:30pm kick off on Saturday 2nd September with free entry to spectators.
Southend City Radio will be providing regular updates on the team’s progress, upcoming matches, and the inspiring stories of players and fans who have found a home at the club. Stay tuned for more exciting developments as Southend City FC embarks on their first season in professional football.
