Southend United’s Roots Hall has been set alight and fire crews have rushed to the stadium to try and extinguish the blaze. Dark clouds could be spotted from miles away bellowing out of the 69 years old ground.
Southend were relegated from League Two after finishing 23rd in the table this season.
That means they dropped out of the Football League for the first time in the club’s history.
And their woes have gone from bad to worse as four fire engines were dispatched to Victoria Avenue at 5.45pm.
Police have asked the local area to keep windows and doors closed as they battle to get the flames under control.
