SOUTHEND UNITED ACCUSED OF FIXING RESULTS

The world of Southend United was plunged into CONTROVERSY once more when the club was accused of FIXING RESULTS.

The games in question are believed to be last Saturday's home game and the previous week's encounter at Northampton.

A Southend Afternoon Echo exclusive investigation can now EXCLUSIVELY reveal that these results were not a 3-2 defeat to Morecambe (or even Morecombe, who Craig Easton believed he was playing against) and a 2-1 loss at Northampton as previously believed.

Instead the Southend Afternoon Echo can WORLD EXCLUSIVELY report that "The Blues are currently unbeaten in the last three League games".

The explosive e-mail

These EXPLOSIVE claims came in an e-mail received by the Southend Afternoon Echo at 5:59 PM on 21 September 2010 from the club amusingly entitled EAST ON....AQUA AEROBICS, SPEEDOS AND GOLF! After club captain Craig Easton reveals about how "GUTTED" everyone was at the result against "Morecombe" (sic), the e-mail refers to an article entitled HOSPITALITY OFFER where this outrageous 3 match unbeaten claim is made - a claim that is likely to either shock football to it's very core or be as shocking as Barry Corr.

In DAMNING footage obtained by the Southend Afternoon Echo Sportsdesk, the Roots Hall scoreboard is CLEARLY shown failing to record Morecambe's (or possibly Morecombe's) THREE goals as it does it's best to persuade shocked on-lookers that both teams were firing blanks.
