SOUTHEND offered travelling Fylde fans a free pie and hot drink at their match but only nine supporters showed up.
They were relegated from League Two in 2021 and have finished eighth and ninth in their two seasons in the National League.
The Shrimpers climbed to 11th in the National League table with a 2-0 win that leaves Fylde in the relegation zone.
The Lancashire club have struggled this season and few were willing to travel the 530-mile round trip to watch their side in action.
Another added: "To watch non league football absolutely outstanding effort 👍".
