PROTESTING Southend United supporters will show their displeasure of Ron Martin’s running of the club by showing red cards during this afternoon’s clash with Chesterfield at Roots Hall.
Fans unveiled a ‘Martin Out’ banner during Tuesday night’s 1-0 win against Eastleigh and also came onto the pitch at the final whistle, chanting for the chairman to sell the club.
And supporters will now protest again this afternoon by showing red cards.
A statement from the Save our Southend group said: “Show your displeasure at how our football club is being mismanaged at today's home match vs. Chesterfield.
“From 2pm, representatives from Save Our Southend will handing out red cards to supporters around the area outside Roots Hall.
“We urge all fans to join us in holding this card up at 19:06 minutes into the match.
“We feel that this will be symbolic with the club having been founded in 1906.
“At the same time, make your voices heard around Roots Hall with a loud chant of "Martin Out".
“Enough is enough!”
