    Carlisle, the Irish, and a terrible hangover...

    Just back from the trip to Glasgow and Carlisle about an hour ago - Still absolutely buzzing from the result! First off, I'd like to say it was an absolute pleasure meeting those of you I bumped into and sat beside for the match. You, along with the masses that travelled up, are an absolutely...

    New music festival where you choose the bands

    Have you guys all seen this? Now Triptych is finishing, Tennents have launched a new music venture in Scotland. I've been heavily involved along the way with the branding of it, but I think its an absolutely superb idea (provided loads of ****ty Kooks fans don't get on there). This is the...

    Managing Newcastle Isn't A Game

    There is a computer game in existence that, I’m afraid to admit, has cost me around 15 years of my life. It’s called Football Manager and I’ve owned every incarnation of it since 1993. It’s a wonderful way to waste time, it really is. You pick your club, assemble your players, choose a formation...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 5

    “Southend United Football Club needs new energy and direction. With careful financial planning and professional management there is no doubt in our minds that the club is geared for greater things.” So read a statement released by Martin Dawn plc in November 1998 just after they had secured a...
  10. Still hasn't sunk in

    I've just got back to Brum after my trip back to the homeland, and I still can't believe what happened last night. I was at the Hall, I've watched the tape of the match, I've seen the highlights and interviews too many times to count, stood in WHSmith reading all the match...
  11. This has to end…

    Sorry to bring the tone down after such a memorable night but this issue just has to sorted out. Whos side are the club and stewards on? Why oh why were the away fans (again) allowed to stand for the entire game?! It seems as if the club are really shooting their selves in the foot by letting...

    Food for Thought?

    Firstly, due to work commitments, I could not make the short(ish) trip to Rushden last night, which in hindsight, may have been a good thing, as it wont tarnish the memories of last season's trip there.... Wonderful pasties and super result!! Anyway, I may be way off beam here, but...

    Renovation

    I have now been thinking about this for a while: firstly, could you update me on the move to Fossets? Is it all off because I saw some retail firm or someone were considering bidding to move there? OK, I personally think that Roots Hall is quite a hard place to come and go away with the...
  15. Animal confessions

    There's a thread in the pub about your porn name, which is generated by your pets name followed by your Mum's maiden name. Nothing unusual there, except there's a couple of first names which raised an eyebrow - Roycie (one of our cats in fact) and Tilly. It made me wonder how many...

    Just thought i'd let you know that Steve Tilson personally replied via e-mail to a letter of congratulations on promotion i sent him on behalf of 'SUFC Downunder, the Southend United supporters club of Australia'. It wasn't a generic one generated by a machine but specific and...

    Trains from London to Cardiff

    Folks, This is a word of warning for those of you who have booked train tickets on-line. Being a bit of a sceptic when it comes to train on-line booking systems, I phoned First Great Western (08457 000 125) in order to book my train ticket to Cardiff. W4 Shrimper had already booked his train...
