    Off the Booze and Struggling

    After indulging on one to many nights out before and over chrimbo , i have decided to lay off the booze in Jan as many folk do . I thought this would be a doodle for a month , but f*ck me i'm dying for a beer or ten , i have also been eating healthy and have done 2.5 kilos since jan 1st , but...
  2. Under 18's Ticket prices for Thursday night

    obviously will not be going myself!!!!! although would if i lived closer....... but i was just interested in how many folk will be going along on Thursday night to support the under 18's against Stoke at Roots Hall. The prices for adults at £3.00, concessions £1.00 and under 16' going free i...
  3. Ron Martin is a legend........

    Over the past couple of years or so i have sent and received various e-mails on various subjects with Uncle Ron....and i kind of sometimes forget that he is the chairman of my football club and just feel that i am talking to a like minded true Blues fan, but then again thinking about......... it...

    These Middle Eastern folk..

    They an'alf go a bit mad at funerals don't they? Slapping their heads, touching coffins, shaking ambulances, trying to lift the lid open? All very odd, can you imagine that happening in the streets of London over the death of A leading role model? I can't... all very odd.

    Could you rough it?

    Just walked my dog monty down by the river (and no he didnt get bashed up the dirt box) and as it was just drawing into dusk, I thought, If there was a nuclear war,and I survived, could I rough it? What I mean buy rough it would be going into "hunter gatherer mode". Could I build a shelter...

    Stiff's Tonight v Ipswich: Match Report

    An excellent evening's entertainment watched by a crowd of 415 at Portman Road. The 5-4 defeat didn't of course really matter and it would have been nice to have come away with a point which after good spells in the middle bits of both halves we probably deserved. Oddly despite conceding 5 the...
  7. Is it me or are we turning against each other

    I don’t know if it is just me or other folk have noticed it as well but there appears to be an increase in fellow SZ members turning on one and other. I don’t mean healthy constructive discussions or a good dose of humorous sarcasm, i mean comments like “F**K off and support another club” and...

    For lovers of folk music...

    I'm promoting an evening of excellent folk music this Saturday in Leigh-on-sea - if you fancy something a little different to a bunch of scruffy herbets in skinny jeans and slim ties doing a 'Stars in Their Eyes' Pete Doherty act then get yerself down to the New Road Methodist Church in Old...

    Who will be the top club in Anglia in 5 years from now ???

    Ok so its a bit of a hypothetical question , but I was wondering who will come out on top in a few years from now . Norwich ? already there - good backing - excellent catchment area Ipswich ? - could lose support to the folk down the hill Col Ewe ? -one of the new grounders - if they...
  10. Next Season's Position

    Quite a boring post and poll but I am interested in what folk think our chances are next season?
  11. P.m.a.

    It is difficult for me living so far away to feel that I am involved with the club that I love so much and I sometimes feel detached from sharing and experiencing the joys and the sadness that have been experienced by so many blues fans this season. Of course SZ does help folk like me and other...
  12. The (Very Long) Diary of a Happy Fan

    Tuesday 3rd - Just come back from the pub, nice chat with Ron Mack, told him that I couldn't afford any more trips to watch the Blues this season, especially as out of 5 trips I had managed 2 draws and 3 defeats. Friday 6th - Incredible, just told my son that I hoped we wouldn't give away an...

    How far would you go for a million pounds?

    Me and the Mrs was talking last night about what you could do for a million pounds and surprisingly the conversation got quite, how do you say it, involved. Lets get the main question out of the way, NO I wouldnt become an a**e bandit but a snog, maybe because a million pounds would set you up...
  14. Collymore - did he live in Southend?

    bit of a random one... just wondered, when he was @ the blues, did he live in southend? thanks in advance folks
  15. Ring of Fire

    Perhaps it is because I don't go to away games or something but the significance of "Ring of Fire" has past me by. Why is that played/do folk sing it? It is because rings are on fire at the prospect or relegation?
  16. Scottish Shrimpers Contingent grows

    I met 3 folk from Scotland at teh S O L on Saturday, 2 from Inverness and one from Glasgow and what with our Scottish connection regards Hamy and Foran coming from the SPL there is a definite Scottish link growing. Maybe it is time to start a Scottish Shrimpers Club???? We could try to enlist...

    So I Put It To The SZ Community...

    Good Discussing boys and girls, I have a little dilema, kinda, that I'm gonna need the decent folk of SZ to help me with. The weekend of the 27th, I shall be taking a rather attractive girl out for the night that used to have a thing for me a couple of years ago and has just split with the...
  18. a christmas panto part 3

    when we left off, the land of blue and white was facing a dilemma, what to do for the best?? in fact it was split into 2, one half white and one half blue(or not so blue depending if you lived around hamlet court road,then you were a nice shade of brown) many many times the masses had seen these...

    To those that thought all is was in turmoil

    Back in 2005, following our LDV cup defeat, we had the dubious privelege of a 'derby' match with Orient a few days later. Although we were far from outplayed, I don't think any Shrimper could have argued that there was much if anything betweent he two teams that contested that game...
  20. a modern day panto  part 2

    as mentioned there was big trouble in blue and white land, the small man, had decided that he needed more of his subjects groats, and so he decided that he needed a bigger castle, despite having no groats to build it, I know he thought to himself, why dont i knock the castle down that i live in...
