    Rudeness To Ticket Office Staff

    I happened to be in the ticket office today ruminating on whether or not to avail myself of the virtues of the South Upper or the simple pleasure of East Yellows for the Burnley game. As I ruminated, a genetleman (for want of a better expletive) marched up to the counter, literally threw 3...

    Vaughan (c) Joyce Bell Collingwood Pietersen Flintoff Dalrymple Nixon Plunkett Panesar Anderson Reserves - Loye (doubles as reserve keeper and reserve opener for when Vaughan inevitably gets injured) Bopara (reserve 'Collingwood' eg middle order batsman, who can bowl if needed and who is an...
  3. Tilson might know what he is doing...

    "Mechanistic" v "Psychological" I have read the threads debating both Tilson's wisdom over signings, and the perceived demise of Shrimperzone with interest. Here is a thought. Tilson, Brush and Martin know exactly what they are doing, and are working to a plan which balances success on...

    The fbm view and ratings - Birmingham

    BATTLING BLUES PUT BRUM OUT TO SEED Southend pulled off one of the results of the season by deservedly claiming all three points on the sponge that is now the St Andrews pitch. On an all too rare fbm awayday, the result rounded off a decent visit to England's second city. Travelling up in the...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 3

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...

    Poker

    I've been playing NL Texas Hold Em for a while, but so far have restricted it to house games with between 6-10 players for £10 a game, with 2/3 games an evening. Now I'm contemplating going to the Rendezvous or Spielers for some more action. I see both do £10 + £1reg, with unlimited rebuys and...
  7. Management contracts

    I prefer watching the football than worrying too much about how a club is run but looking at what the Chairman says about the contracts - "all the terms have been reviewed, not just the length, all the financial terms which will now compare with most Championship clubs" it looks...

    Tilly has confirmed that we have struck a permanent deal for Macca, no details of any fee or length of contract yet: Official Site Doh - please ignore - seen other thread! Mods - please delete thread....

    Southend vs Southampton

    BATTLING BLUES GET WIN AT LAST What a difference a week makes. Morale and spirit hit a new low after last Saturday's abject performance against a very ordinary Wolves side. The local press ran a feature through the week revolving around the supporters views on what had gone wrong. Some -...
  10. Take on last night...

    I was really, really confident that Barnsley was a place that we could get a result and turn our season around (it certainly should have been).  How wrong I was.  I feel most sorry for the fans who made the journey.  People like me who skived off of my last lesson at school, got out of work in...

    New Stadium

    I have gone through the information on the Council's website trying to look the application objectively as a planner rather than football supporter. My first comments are a) that it is by no means certain that permission will be granted given the scale of the proposal but b) that there is...

    BRIGHTON ROCK AS LATE SHOW SEALS BLUES PASSAGE Southend made heavy going of their 2nd round Carling Cup tie against Brighton at Roots Hall this evening, but in the end it was a naive managerial decision by Albion caretaker boss Dean Wilkins that showed Blues the way.  Tilly had made 2 changes...

    Mark Gower.

    Whilst I am sure the bulk of the press coverage will go to Adam Barrett I personally thought G-Man had his best ever game for us. Everything he did was dangerous and he ripped his marker to shreads so many times I lost count. What impressed me most though was his fitness. As few years ago he...

    When insects attack!

    Has anyone had a run in with a giant grasshopper recently? The reason I ask is that I woke up last night with something moving in my hair. I jumped up and turned on the light only to see a massive bright green insect jump across the room. I went downstairs to get a glass to catch it but as I...
  15. Seaso's Screwed Over

    I'm a bit disapointed at the length of time existing Season Ticket Holders have been gven to renew them, with All Season Tickets that have not been renewed by 1st June being up for Grabs, giving Seaso's 3 weeks to find the money to renew or face losing their seat. I love my seat and...
  16. Season Tickets should go well

    Off on holiday soon and won't be back until 1st of June , so I dropped my seaso renewal form in this morning and judging by the length of the queue in the Ticket Office we should sell tons of seasos for next year. There were loads of people applying for new ones and they seemed to out-number...

    My trip to Swansea.

    After a very kind offer from Sussex Blue to drive to Swansea we agreed a meet time for the two of us and Smudger to meet. 8am at the station next to my flat was ideal for me. Decided to have a quiet night the night before but after a few beers and the fact my mates hairdresser that I have been...

    Sodje that for a game of soldiers - a match report

    Well how heartrending was that? Where to begin... Blackpool were just rough. Apart from the goal I cant remember a shot that they had on target. They had the man who took the longest throw ins (in time and length), he was so slow it was unbelievable. You could hear the boos start from one...

    Game 1

    Well, the match against MK Dons marked game one of the OS Xmas / New Year visit... and what a let down it was. It all started pronisingly enough. A quick lunch at The Fish House followed by a visit to the much improved club shop and the beaming smile of the ever helpfull and friendly...

    Griemink injured again!

    Has been a total waste of space, a flapper that is very rarely fit for any length of time and if he was a racehorse would of been put down by now!
