    Southend Stadium

    I wrote the following article which appeared in the Crewe programme on Wednesday, and knowing that many don't buy a programme thought I would post it here. May be of intrerest to some of you, but despite being historical in content its still very relevent to now. DoDtS SOUTHEND STADIUM The...

    So what exactly DO we want then?

    This board is about opinions and this is mine. It is clear to me that there is an enormous amount of people on here that have not got a clue what it is they actually want. Well, let me rephrase that; they do, but can't see they what they actually want is impossible. They are all like one of...

    My view on the season as a whole and those 83 points gained

    There's lot of talk on here that we got 83 points which should/would have been enough for promotion in other years. A points tally in itself is meaningless, if you have a lot of strong teams consistently winning and picking up points you will need more than average to gain automatic promotion...

    North Bank for Crewe???

    It was brilliant to be in a packed out North bank on saturday and I think we made loads of noise, well up until the news went round that crawley had scored. It would be great to get this many in there again for the 2nd leg of the play-offs. Obviously I appreciate that we may well go back to...

    Official Match Thread Southend united v barnet

    Don't want to detract from the service that CUM does in relaying the match text but this one is not exactly the same, would like to feel free to make comments without the text getting in the way.

    NewBuy Scheme?

    Anyone looked deeply into this yet? I am looking to purchase my first house and my ears pricked up on hearing of this new scheme. But, the stuff I have read so far doesn't exactly make me want to get involved. Plus, there are zero homes in this area available under the scheme. Another complete...

    The mrs is going to be giving up work in a few months to take care of our new arrival and has already hinted that she doesnt want to return to her current job. As a nurse im not exactly richard branson so i have told her that she will need to bring in some kind of income. I was a little...

    Question Where will goals come from?

    Dickinson out, Hall out of favour, Mohsni out for whatever reason. Harris/Benyon/Flood/Sampson don't exactly rip the net...

    Excavator at FF!!!

    Not exactly massive news but there is a mini excavator and council workers over at FF. They seem to be working on the small access point from Sutton Rd to the site. Right next to the Crematorium. Small steps and all that.

    United.

    It's like we have never lost a game before. As a complete die hard SUFC fan, I hate coming on Shrimperzone, because it is full of absolute hyperbolic nonsense, but I also love it because I get to interact with Southend United fans, sometimes it helps to get things off my chest, which I am...

    Sturrock has it sussed, well done!

    All this talk of being entertained makes me laugh. Look at what Sturrock was faced with when walking into the job. No money and a squad that had to go. Then ask yourself how the hell would you keep us up in the first season? Bankers to go down from the football league. Sturrock got some...

    Southends secret FA Cup game yesterday

    A quote from the Sun online today: 'CHELTENHAM took advantage of Southend and Crawley's FA Cup exploits to climb to the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Macclesfield.' Now exactly what were our FA Cup exploits yesterday? :unsure:

  14. Driving

    Ok so yesterday I drove back from my sisters house in London up to Sheffield. This basically involves 140miles of the M1. To make it more 'interesting' I like to play a game. So basically, you drive slightly faster or slower than the speed you want to go at. So I normally like to drive at 80 in...

    TV Highlights Blues v Dagenham

    Well, not exactly i-player but, here you go http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16401242.stm Shows that if Leonard's shot from the free kick hadn't have taken the slightest of deflections, it would probably have gone in.
  16. Train fare rises

    Had to post this, as I am flabbergasted at what ATOC are saying in response to the 5.9% rise in fares that you poor sods have to put up with. Atoc said the fare increase would be used to pay for "new trains, faster services and better stations". 1) There won't be any new trains. Trains are...
  17. Your next starting Eleven and why.

    Given the chance to pick the team i would start in the next game with players that can be picked ; Right now i think give Morris a start so we can prepare now for when Daniels loan finishes i would play Clohessy,Barker,Phillips,Prosser at back 4 Bringing in Prosser for Gilbert purely because of...

    Which squad is better, the current one or the one from 2009/10?

    The thread "Do you now feel affinity with the team" made me look back at the squad that got us relegated in 2009/10, assuming that the OS of each club is accurate. They weren't getting paid by us, which would account for a lot, but have the individual players gone on to do well? Franck Moussa...

    Breaking News New sponsor for West Stand

    So we've got a new sponsor for the West Stand. Not exactly the most exciting of news stories. But I have found it highly amusing... Take a look at the picture on the OS and see if you can work out why?!... http://www.southendunited.co.uk/page/AlsoInNewsDetail/0,,10444~2534845,00.html...

    Memory Lane BLUES Thrash OLDHAM/New Ground on hold

    Well it’s not exactly “Breaking News” as this news broke sixty years ago when in Season 1951-52 Southend beat Oldham 5-0 in the second round of the Cup while an announcement was made about the new stadium (Roots Hall) being delayed. This how it was in early December 1951...
