    Col Ewe's new shed

    I had to laugh at a Health Education Conference I was at earlier this week. A guy stated that he was involved in the New Community Stadium in Colchester and that he was in discussions to have a National Skills Academy for Health within the stadium complex. He went on to say that the...

    Who are the real fans?

    Is there an inherent snobbery in being a fan? How many games do you have to go to? Are you a true fan if you only go to home games? What about friendlies and cup games? It just seems that some posters on here have a bit of a superiority complex and want to have a go about the new fans...

    London City Pubbing - The Old Days

    Looking at the clubbing thread brought back a few memories of the good old days when I was young, free and used to enjoy life. It was very hard to find many pubs in the City that stayed open beyond 8.30/9pm in those days, unless you fancied the rare "delights" of of the Railway Tavern or the...

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 2

    "This football club has lacked direction for a long time," Ron Martin told the Evening Echo's Bernie Friend in mid-September 2000.

    Ambition

    I had a strange thought earlier today while looking at what Ron Martin said. I made a post on rivals after someone suggested an inferiority complex that it was a brand of realism based on the size of our club. We've only played at this level once in our career and hardly threatened the...

    Local Radio & SUFC
