    Your Non-football sporting hero?

    We were discussing at work our sporting heroes and it was pretty much all footballers and from the clubs we support, which was a bit boring and predictable. So then we changed it to "non-football" and it was really quite interesting. So lets hear your non-football sporting heroes and the reason...

  5. Chris Powell London marathon

    Heard Chris Powell on BBC Essex this morning speaking passionately about prostate cancer and his London marathon effort. Seems he's only 30% of the way to his fundraising target so I thought I'd post the link here, hope the mods don't mind. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chris-powell2018

  7. Hi everyone

    New member here. Moved to Essex for a spell from 1989 through 1998-ish and started following Southend United as my "local team" shortly thereafter. Went pretty regularly through the promotion seasons, driving to away games in a C-Reg Rover 216 with Jamie from Grays and Stuart "the postman"...

  8. Thatchers Children

    To save hi-jacking the Brexit thread I thought people might like to explain who they first voted for and why. Lets keep it to your personal reasons so no need to repeat to many grand and well covered anti Thatcher rants etc. I had left school in 1981 so my first vote was for Labour in 1983. If...

    A new famous(ish) fan?

    Absolute Radio DJ Andy Bush has recently moved to south Essex and, despite being an Everton fan, decided to watch us on Saturday. On his show this morning, he talked about the game and talked about maybe sponsoring a player. Good to see the club getting noticed in the wider media for once and...

    Question ifollow data usage

    I just use the app (on my android phone) to listen to the live match as I cannot get Essex Radio. However, I seem to be getting through my data allowance much quicker than when I was using the old Blues Player app. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I mistaken.

Putting 2 and 2 together, I reckon Jonny Evans or...
