    Question Car Parking changes around Hospital

    As we drive in from Chelmsford (and don't normally arrive until 10 minutes before KO) I have generally found parking somewhere around Southend Hospital to be the easiest, usually Hillborough Road/Carlingford Drive. At the last couple of home games I have noticed that they are putting up...

    England Rugby Union Anthem Jacket

    When watching the six nations, it was good to see the England lads in the pristene kits, belting out the anthem with pride... however, i couldnt help noticing that i'd seen the anthem jacket before somewhere..
  3. Venice

    Heading out to Venice for a conference and due to annoying flight times got a bit of time to kill in Venice (not too shabby I suppose). Any tips on things to do, places to go, restaurants? Basically somewhere off the main tourist trail would be great because I'm sure I'll head back again with...

    Party Venues in Southend Area

    Anyone hired anywhere reasonable-ish in Southend area for parties? It's a 30th (not mine) but helping a good friend. We want somewhere for beginning of March, is this last minute? Key thing is that it is LATE. Often these venues only allow until midnight-ish. However often this is when the...
  5. Question Southend the new Brighton?

    Odd title but here me out.... I have done alot of work with Brighton and Hove Albion and it has dawned on me that Southend find themselves very much in the same dangerous position that Brighton did back in 1997. At the time Brighton had a Chairman called Mr Bellotti (Ron with less lushious...

    Awkward gift situation

    Got back to Germany this afternoon, and my housemate presents me with a Christmas Present, in the shape of a new set of headphones. I'm quite chuffed, as these might not be expensive, but they're decent JVC ones, and he's put some thought into it. I did say to him before he gave them to me...
  7. Question New Years Eve

    Couldn't find a thread so thought I'd start one. So what's everyone doing tonight? Yeah, I know NYE is always **** and overpriced but is anyone going out tonight? I'll be seeing the New Year in somewhere in Temple Bar presuming I can find somewhere which isn't charging €10 just to get in the...

    F.A. Cup 1st Round

    I am led to believe the draw for the F.A. Cup 1st Round is this Sunday afternoon. Can anyone confirm? This is the fixture list for the 4th and final qualifying round. The only local non-league side remaining is Chelmsford. But they face a tough trip to Carshalton who disposed of Blue Square...

    TBV Flag Designs Needed - HELP!

    We are looking into getting some new flags made up. Probably digitally printed. Therefore we require some striking designs to be made up. The flag needs to incorporate TBV logo somewhere in the design please (PM me if you need this) If any of you graphics experts have some spare time then...
  10. Ref Watch .... Gillingham away

    Man in charge on Tuesday is Danny McDermid, ex Army Captain based at Aldershot, but now listed as a Civil Servant. He will be remembered for an abject performance at Leyton Orient three years ago (yes, the one when Ibehre got a late, late equaliser). His first two seasons as a League referee...

    Question Blue - Alison Moyet

    Does anyone know why she changed the lyrics to our song?....My missus reckons it was used as some random "peak practice" type country drama somewhere. This is the only version I can find on iTunes.....But I know there is another version knocking about out there with more affiliation to...

    Fifa 11 Download Entrance/Chants Here!

    Right guys, I spent all yesterday afternoon and evening putting together these files containing over 1000 different tunes for you to download. I know there is already a thread about this but from this one, you can actually download the files all at once and they are ready to be used. In these...

    Classic Comedy during the England game

    Can't find anything to back this up, but did anyone else notice the rather lovely young lady in the crowd's reaction just after Glen Johnson had his "shot" on goal in the 2nd half? :unsure: She turned to her friend and very clearly twice suggested he was a bit of a Richard head! Had us in...
  14. Memory Lane Pubey's trip down memory lane

    I don’t know why, I guess I’m just getting old, but yesterday I had a real sense of nostalgia. I spent the evening thumbing through our wedding album with Mrs Pubey, a regular pastime, and my eye was drawn to a family who have been ‘family friends’ all my life. They were...
  15. Info for tomorrows game Shots v Shrimpers

    Afternoon A Shots fan here, coming in peace! I noticed a few of you were looking for a 'safe' pub for tomorrow so thought I'd try and offer some assistance. Your best bet is The Red Lion - www.redlionaldershot.co.uk which is about a 7-8 minute walk from the ground and doesn't tend to attract...

    I have to wonder...

    We, as fans of a lower league club, often complain (well, moan) about the way the lower leagues are pretty much shafted by the television stations. Yes, the BBC has a deal to show X amount of Championship games and their lower league highlights show is most certainly better than that piece of...

    Question Embargo lifted yet?

    Apol's, more than likely covered on one of the other threads somewhere but could not immediately see it. Has the embargo actually been lifted yet? If not, wot's the latest? With the news of new players today it seems as though the Club are acting as if it has been lifted, but I see no formal...
