Meet the Blues Day takes place on Sunday at the clubs training ground Boots and Laces between 10am and 3pm.

Supporters will once again have the chance to meet the United players and collect autographs and photos with their favourite players.

Fans will also get the chance to watch manager Steve Tilson put his squad through a training session at 11am.

This year's event will feature a Southend United old boy's side facing local Blues supporter team ShrimperZone FC.

As well as a host of side stalls to keep you entertained throughout the day, we will also be unveiling the new 2008/09 away kit - with fans able to pre-order from the club shop tent.

There will be the usual family fun including bouncy castles, soccer challenges with the Community Trust, activities for children and an exclusive signing session with the players at the Shrimpers Trust tent. Entry is free, so come along and join in the fun and games.

Please note, there is limited parking available at Boots and Laces. Waitrose have kindly agreed to allow the use of their car park.
