  3. Help Please!

    Hello Southend fans Sorry for being a nuisance and cluttering your forum up but I am compiling a project about football grounds and am featuring your ground. Wondered if anyone could complete the following questionnaire for me. Thanks for your time 1. How long have you been watching Southend...

    The official WTF is going on thread

    Lets put things into perspective. We are lead to believe that the reason for our lack of financial clout is because we are building this super stadium. What a load of old sh 1t . Does anybody seriously beleive that we are going to ever see a brick layed? I dont believe it will happen in the...

    The single greatest moment in your Blues lifetime?

    What is the single greatest moment in your Blues supporting lifetime? A second when the joy supporting Southend gives you can never be eclippsed. More me personally I think it was Juppys goal. I dont think anything has ever been as significant to me as that moment when he slammed the ball home...
  6. A Bit of Fun Stobart rumours

    To put this to bed here is Ron's reply to my email. John, I can confirm unequivocably that Stobart, or anyone else for that matter, is NOT "taking over the Club". Neither have I been approached. I have a significant majority shareholding in the Club and own 100% of its parent. I am NOT...
  7. A Book-A Band-A Film

    This idea came to me on Saturday at my Son's 21st party (he was born when I was 8 before you all start) You have to name one of each that not only you liked but had some significant effect on your life and you have to say why. For me .. Book wise ..it was "The Bridge Across Forever" by...

    My two cents

    I'm getting very irritated with the lack of news regarding new faces or even links to new faces that could potentially join Southend United. As soon as we beat Cheltenham we lost two of our key players in the season with the end of Dervite and Robinson's loans from Tottenham and Watford...

    Bafana Bafana Give Me The Horn

    South Africa 0-0 Iraq The nation of South Africa is ready for the World Cup but sadly it seems that their football team are still lagging behind. Ellis Park, a stadium better known for its connections to rugby, played host to a most disappointing game of football, but it didn't dampen the...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...

    Memory Lane Special Report on SUFC's previous homes

    Nice piece from the Echo's site today (I know there's no paper today), could have gone in the other forum I guess, but thought it kind of went alongside the Hall of Fame stuff we've been doing. Sing the Blues for stadiums past 12:10am Saturday 30th May 2009 Comments (0) Have your say » By...
  12. Breaking News Chairman's Blog 19/05/09

    I promised to advise on the frequency of blogs at least through the close season. Following a number of emails from supporters on the subject I have settled on three weekly intervals which will take us into the end of the first week of the season (9th June, 30th June, 21st July, 11th August)...

    Random Article on Youth Set up

    Was looking for something else and stumbled across this article on the youth set up in 2000. All sounds very similar to what we are hearing these days, with the 'Score' team sounding like the development deals we now have.....have things really changed that much?! Soccer: Babes to give...

    Chairman's Blog 12th May

    Chairman's Blog I believe I have now answered all those questions – either singularly or combined – that have been sent to the Club’s media department. There were one or two “stragglers” but these points were covered in earlier responses. I have yet to come to a...
  15. North Bank.

    I know we've been through this tiem and time again, but I just found an interesting article on the OS concerning the survey the club carried out last March (of which I'd forgotten about) on the possibility of moving TBV to East end of the North bank. Of which I don't remember the Club telling...

    Top 10 games this season

    I thought Liverpool v Arsenal was more thrilling than the Chelsea v Liverpool game and would have like to have seen a certain Chelsea 1-1 Southend in there too... I shall dream on
  17. Rons Blog 07.04.09

    Firstly let me apologise for last week’s “void”. It was my intention to answer the questions raised over a period of two to three weeks and at the end of that period to review whether supporters generally thought it was a good idea to continue with a blog – be it weekly, fortnightly or not at...

    No More 4-4-2!

    Fabio Capello has much to ponder. Though certain sections of the UK press appear to have an unhealthy obsession with an ageing bit-part midfielder and his quest for caps, the real question mark hangs over the structure of the England team. Capello has said that he will be taking this evening's...
  19. Chairman's Blog - 24th March

    Chairman's Blog As promised the Club’s media department has sifted through all the emails received to date and amalgamated these into the most frequently asked questions including some unusual ones. I am told that some of the emails have been paraphrased but I am sure they include the gist. I...

    Villa Fans Need A Reality Check

    The Premier League table has an eerily familiar look, doesn't it? In amongst the excitement of Liverpool's emphatic victory at Old Trafford and the discovery of stardust in the boots of Andrey Arshavin, this was the weekend when Aston Villa finally dipped out of the top four. There can't be many...
