Southend United have received a £20,000 cash boost from Wyndham Plastics and Glass who have agreed to sponsor Blues' away shirts again.

The Welsh firm, owned by Shrimpers fanatic Steve Clarke, have signed a one-year deal.

Wyndham Plastics and Glass previously had their names on Southend's away strip during the 2000/01 campaign.

Blues have already pocketed an initial £35,000 from Wickford company GKC Communications, who are the Third Division club's home sponsors next term.

The deal is performance related and could earn Steve Wignall's men extra cash during the course of the year if they are successful on the pitch.

Blues also announced they are well on course to beat the record number of Roots Hall season tickets sold. The Shrimpers had 1,437 season pass holders last term, which was the club's best ever figure.
