    Iain Duncan Smith quits

    Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has resigned over "indefensible" changes to disability benefits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35848687 Not really surprising I suppose. I wonder whether Gove will be next?

    Memory Lane Old Match of the Week Highlights

    Hi all, On the George Best Thread, we were talking about old matches that used to be on Match of the Week and in particular, those involving us. I mentioned I would find out from the EAFA (East Anglian Film Archive) if they had access to them and had the below very helpful response :- The...
  4. Burnden Park Disaster

    Hearing about it on the Beeb....quite shocking and it happened 60 years ago on 9th March. 33 died in crowd congestion, and The dead were laid behind the goal and the game continued an hour later. Can you imagine? RIP the 33. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnden_Park_disaster

    Rent deposit

    Received a letter from my old landlord saying I wouldn't be receiving any of my previous deposit back, I'm not a bad tenant at all however I knew I would be charged for some minor repairs and redecorating as quite frankly I was too lazy to paint a flat I was leaving, however on this letter, it...

  7. End of season League 1 prediction Table

    For those of you who might be interested, I came across this, end of season League 1 prediction table, last night. Link below: http://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/leagueone/league/predicted I haven't a clue what they've based the forthcoming results on, but it shows us finishing 7th. A few...

    Things You've Broken at Home and Got Away With

    Years ago, when I was still at school I had an 18th birthday party in my parents' house. My parents were very sensible and booked into a hotel for the night. That was partly to do with noise, and partly to do with the fact that about 20-30 people stayed over because they had travelled long...

    Betfred in Rayleigh help up this evening by person or persons in balaclavas What's it coming too! Also that's quite a newish shop would have latest security features! However they don't have any security glass there
  12. US Presidential election thread

    OK - I think we need a thread that doesn't specifically focus on Trump, and we also need a thread with a few ground rules. I'm not sure why but I always tend to get quite involved with the US elections (and US politics in general). This year's election is bound to be fascinating, and you can...

  15. League 1 attendance stato's

    After the last week or so with results (people a bit cheesed off) I thought I'd share the link below which is quite nice reading. We're 6th with the highest attendance this season and that's without playing Colchester, Sheffield utd, Coventry, Gillingham and Wigan at home yet, which I'd expect...

    A Bit of Fun Blues miss out on Harry Forrester

    According to Chris Phillips. Young winger who was at Doncaster and now signed for Rangers for an undisclosed fee. Can't believe that we were ever very close, given that he was quite public in wanting to play for Mark Warburton again (who he played for at Brentford and Watford). Few...
  17. Why isn't PB liked by other supporters?

    This one baffles me. The guy is a tactician, motivator, loyal to his players, takes defeat on his (own) chin, passionate about the club, I really could go on. What most fans don't see outside of our club, he also does a lot for charity, always makes sure, either he or the players attend...

    Parking For ColEwe

    Not been to Colewe before (well apart from the Zoo) so having read that no parking restrictions are put out quite late for side roads, is there plenty of industrial estate parking usually available for a fee?

  20. Chapel Down Sparkling Wine - SUFC branded!

    I recently went to a wine tasting at the Pipe of Port (well worth doing, £10 and you get try loads and if you have dinner they knock the tenner off the bill) and the first one I tried was a sparkling English wine called Chapel Down Blanc de Blanc. When I looked at the bottle I noticed it had an...
