Southend fans 'proud' despite Wembley loss

Southend United fans said they were disappointed but still proud after the club missed out on promotion to the English Football League.

A record-breaking 52,115 fans turned out to watch the Shrimpers take on Oldham Athletic in the National League play-off final at Wembley Stadium.

Two goals in quick succession in the second half of extra time saw Oldham secure a 3-2 victory over the Blues.

The BBC spoke to these fans after the final whistle was blown.
