    Kids Just Don't Know Their Born

    While having a wonder around the shop today it suddenly struck me just how little kids know of the real world and what they are missing out on. It started when my missus mentioned our niece and how it must cost her mum a fortune so she can wear all the clobber and make-up yet she hasn't two...
  11. Rules Are Rules. Unless You're Portsmouth.

    When Portsmouth’s 4th owner of the season presumably won the club in a game of pass-the-financially-defunct-parcel, did nobody explain the basic rules of English football? The news that Portsmouth have applied for extraordinary circumstances to the Premier League in order to sell their...

    I think we're going into Administration...

    Have just had a quick look on Companies House and the "Insolvency History" tab which is normally not on a company record has appeared on the "Southend United Football Club (The) Ltd" record. I'm hoping that this is just as a result of the Winding Up order applied for by HMRC, but, on the...

    Memory Lane Episode No 1 Season 1931-32

    As I have posted previously I have an article printed in every official programme this season telling the story of Season 1931-32 in 23 episides.

    Moving away

    reading the Rons Blog thread struck a bit of a nerve. Mrs FS is currently in an interim position above her substantive post and looked in line to get the position permanently, however a change in the board has put that in a bit of doubt. She would find it very difficult to return to the...
