    New Spurs kits 07/08 - 125 year celebrations

    Spurs kit launch Well, despite being one of the most disliked teams in England by opposing fans, you have to give it to them, they've done it again by having some of the smartest playing kit around (although I'm not so sure about the one-off 125 year anniversary shirt). I also like the idea of...

    Southend Success

    Not sure if this has been mentioned on SZ since Saturday and I know this is a football site but I think its' relevant. First of all a great result for the town's rugby union side who needed to win on Saturday to guarantee promotion and did 76-15 (now that's dealing with pressure!). A successful...

    Southend Rugby Club Promoted

    Yay ! After a 76-15 mauling of Ding Crusaders promoted to National League Division 2 - some former rugby giants in there, and a bit more positive coverage for the town.
  5. World Cup Format

    The tournament has been dragging on for a few weeks now! It seems an age since it begun yet it still hasn't come alive and will be something of a damp squib unless very entertaining semi finals and a good final can save it. Obviously England's lacklustre performances haven't helped to enthuse...

    Ads during games

    This is an article about the National Rugby League (NRL) in Australia. I've posted it on here because I think this is a worrying development for televised sport in general and football in particular. Ours is a sport that's run for TV by TV and don't be surprised if we have ad breaks during...
  7. Sunday 7-a-Side League

    Hi For those interested, I am launching a brand new 7-a-Side Sunday league at Warners Bridge (Southend Rugby Ground). It will be held on Sunday evenings, starting around 6pm/7pm and will finish by 10pm. Matches will be 36 minutes (18 minutes each eay) For further information, please contact...
  8. An Excellent Warm Up Game – Spurs V SUFC - The Shrimper Truth.

    The Shrimper Truth. – match report and player ratings. It showed excellent spirit for SUFC to agree to play Spurs and the goodhearted Shrimper hordes again poured much needed cash into the (hopeless) attempt to regenerate this desolate patch of depressing north London. The local football club...

    New Training wear...

    Looking on the official site, the second picture of Tilly shows him wearing a "non-Nike" hat - this firm also does "under-shirt" wear, like some rugby players wear. Does any one know which make this is, and who sells it? Ta all... Official Site - look at the second picture...

  11. Most complicated sports league

    The wife's home town rugby team in NZ (Wellington Lions) have got through to the final of the Air NZ NPC Cup (which is a big deal apparently). Having looked on the net about this I found the rules for this competition. Can anyone come up with a more confusing and complicated league structure...

    The fbm view

    Due to a last minute change of plan I was able to get to Leicester today... but the match report is already being done by someone else so I don't want to steal their thunder. However, just a few thoughts. Hammell, Maher and Guttridge (even though he missed a sitter) were all absolutely...
  13. Afew things im not happy with

    Some of the things im not happy with might well be minor things but these are simple things the club should be able to get right! Firsty, last season on DVD. All the other clubs bring out an end of season DVD showing the highs and lows of the season thats just ended during pre season. We are...
  14. SUFC Rugby Shirts

    My SUFC rugby shirt (tasteful alternating horizontal bands of Royal Blue, Yellow, Royal Blue - that dates it) has become too threadbare for even a sartorial ignoramus like me to wear. Now it is quite clear that SUFC rugby shirts are naff and tasteless, so as a special service to one lucky...

    What is the Jankest Sport

    Come on lads - Your chance to name and shame the most boring sport in the history of the world. I dont think I have ever known a Rugby player who wasnt a total jockey.I also think its a pretty talentless sport. I do find Formula One the most boring. if I want to watch a load of cars...
  16. Anyone remember...

    A game that consisted of two lengths of string with two handles at each end. Running along the string was a rugby ball shaped piece of orange plastic. Two players, each holding onto a set of handles stood facing each other with the strings taut. The idea was to move your hands apart as the...

    Southend Rugby.

    Not a big Rugby fan but have to congratulate them on a good season finishing 5th. My other half was over at Warners Bridge today where they stopped some team winning the league and pushed them down to second.

    Brentford pubs

    I've been to the four corner pubs on several occasions, but only for rugby league rather than football matches. Obviously, there's no such thing as home/away pubs when the rugby is on, but does anyone know if any of the four are no-go for away fans at the football? As for the pubs, my...

    Greetings from Hong Kong

    As usual HK is buzzing despite the WTO protests which is big news over here and causing a strange daytime atmosphere. People aren't used to tight security in buildings. HK absolutely rocks at night and it is the friendliest place on this earth. Other than China there's no better place on...
