    The 1953 Floods

    I hope the following is of some interest, on a Saturday afternoon in 1953 Southend United played a poor game of football, the crowd had a good old moan and then went home totally unaware of the disaster that would hit locally in a few hours time. Saturday 31st January 1953 Southend United 1-0...
  2. AGM minutes

    Uncle Albert, boots shining like a cyclists tail light,strode into the foyer of the Palace Hotel. As he did so a smartly dressed youngman hesitantly came forward to greet him. His job was to welcome all the Bluesshareholders as they arrived for the clubs AGM and he’d obviously beenforewarned not...

    Router Problems

    Our Virgin Media died completely just before full time in last night's round of matches (in SS2, did anyone else have the same problem?). This morning the TV and phone line returned, but the broadband hasn't, our wireless internet is on local only and won't connect properly. It appears the...

    Memory Lane Bristol Rovers Cup match

    Some time ago someone posted the link to pathe news which had newsreel of Southend v Bristol Rovers Cup match in 1952, I've now reached this point in my research so I thought you might like to read the story to go with the film. Hopefully the following link for pathe news works...
  5. Sufc

    Unfortunately I could not be at the game today and on the surface of it, with the injuries sustained and the blooding of youngsters I had not expected too much. I appreciate the position we are in, given the squad overhaul in the summer and understand money is a factor, or the lack of, which has...

    My First Game over the Hall this Season - Thoughts .

    Since Tilly departed I stood firm that I would not pay to watch a SUFC game this Season ( rightly or wrongly but it was my choice ) . My Brother got the cheap tickets from the Sun so off I went to watch the game and to see for myself how good or bad our current crop of players are . Firstly was...

    Mike Lapper interview

    Legend Mike Lapper, current assistant coach for the Columbus Crew, former defender for the U.S. National Team and various clubs, most notably the Crew, was kind enough to give me an exclusive interview for Pro Soccer Weekly. Mike is a really nice guy and gives some very frank answers to the...

    Russian Roulette

    I've been thinking for quite some time about posting this and realise from the off that it may be dangerous for my health. But with [some] good cheer flying around the place I figure this is as good a time as any to get my head torn off. I'd also like to say that I don't pretend to be any sort...

    Dear Mr. Tilson and the 09/10 crew, As a supporter of an entirely tribal activity, I am like many, sad to see the demise of the clan. I am always one for nostalgia and do not embrace change readily. This time though I am actually glad of the change...

    Christ, shrimperzone suicide coming up.... I've begun to take stock of the situation we find ourselves in. Probably because things looked so bleak and I was so angry and frustrated (as are we all no doubt) that i almost gave up completely on the club and in doing so, probably removed the...

    Greek Tragedy For King Otto

    South Korea 2-0 Greece EURO 2004 SEEMS AN AWFULLY LONG TIME AGO It’s hard to believe that Greece ever caused the European superpowers such headaches. Granted, they were never blessed with a generation of superstars, but they always had their composure, their organisation and their ability to...

    Ok, here's the second part to my review of the League One season. Apologies for the delay, have been busy this past week. Brighton Quite how Brighton finished as high as 13th should pay great testament to the work of Gus Poyet since his arrival. Having narrowly avoided the drop last time out...
