    Hello all, Just wondering, does anybody either drive a cab/minibus or know of someone who does who I would be able to get in touch with about getting a cab from Chelmsford to Benfleet/Canvey on NYE? Any help would be appreciated before I start randomly calling the cab firms! Ta

    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...

    Coughlan close to signing

    That really isn't surprising news, for me, perhaps the most interesting thing in the article was at the bottom where he states that "we've attracted some other good opposition for some other friendlies which will be announced soon......"...

    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...

    Is Evans worse than Flavs for crosses?

    ....i think so, Saturday confirms it. Watching the goals on t.v and every week at home can never see him coming off that goal line. Not a crusade to get Morris in but quite honestly think he is poor with kicking, shot stopping generally as a lot goes accross him and obviously the aerial stuff...

    General betting

    Loads of betting opportunities out there; the big firms now bet on every single consituency, although many of these are of course dead rubbers from a betting perspective. Anyway, here are a few markets to get discussion going.... To win the most seats Conservatives 1/5 (SkyBet) Labour 5/1...

    Breaking News Players not paid for January **Sky Sports News**

    Just announced on Sky Sports news... Confirms our fears I guess. "Financial problems caused Southend to end up in the high court earlier in the week, they staved off a winding up order and have 28 days to pay off an outstanding bill of £200,000. But Sky sources are telling us today that the...

    A Bit of Fun Players not paid on time again

    The Mail on Sunday "confirms" (if you can call it that!) that the players were not paid on time for the fourth month in a row! That's not really a surprise given our current economic plight though
  13. Breaking News Tilson confirms dervite at southend

    I see in Tilly's post match interview that Dervite was a guest in the Director's box Saturday - he also confirmed Spurs aren't lending him out as Dervite won't sign a new contract! Anyone know the in's and out's of the situation at Spurs? Why wouldn't he sign a new contract there? Could he...

    Tilson on Player

    Just watching Tilsons interview; * Revs wasnt 'top of the list' to go out. * Name was circulated a few weeks back as agreed he would benefit a month away (not against this personally). * Tilson confirms it WAS financial reasons (goes against King - total proof) - says needs to get "1 or 2...

    A really really close round this, but Ozzer confirms his title pedigree with a solid 8, a good start by markw7 with a rather appropriate 7, welcome aboard mate Sharing the wooden spoon were Jonny O, essexblue and Nobby Snide with 1 each .. though to be fair the latter two only got in in time...
  20. Disappointing stewarding at Roots Hall last night

    A small matter, but one I thought I should bring to the attention of SZ. I was right at the front in the East Stand, near the corner flag that splits us from the south. When Chelsea scored their second, one man jumped up from his seat and yelled "YES!". This Chelsea fan was clearly on his own...
