The Custard Splat is back - and what a start to the season! Scott Wallace and Scott Barber break down Southend United’s emphatic 3–0 away win over Gateshead, with standout moments, goalscorers, and why this could be the perfect launchpad for the campaign ahead.

There’s plenty of transfer talk too: Andrew Dallas joins the Shrimpers, Macauley Bonne moves on, and we discuss Oli Coker’s importance.

We also take a deep dive into the August 2025 Roots Hall facilities update. From pitch upgrades to hospitality improvements and what it means for the club’s future. Plus we preview back-to-back home fixtures against Tamworth and York City.

In community news we look ahead to Riley’s All Stars charity game, featuring Southend legends Alan McCormack, Steve Tilson, Frankie Banks, and a couple of surprise names including TikTok football creator Alexis Cassar

Finally, we push our Patreon, where you can hear our exclusive full-length Frankie Banks interview and get early access to upcoming guest episodes (including a former academy keeper, a current keeper in fine form, and a defensive stalwart from the 2000s).
