Shrimpers' new ground approved!

Exceeding my wildest expectations, Southend Borough Council have approved Southend United's application for a new ground.

For those of you who know your geography of Southend, this is where it is:

Sort of between the Crematorium and Waitrose. It's been designed by the same architects that had a hand in designing the Sydney Olympic Stadium, The Emirates Stadium for Arsenal, The Reebok Stadium and the new Wembley - Have a look at some of their projects:

When complete our new ground will seat 22,000 and looks absolutely stunning!
