    The Shay at Halifax WAS a joke

    I went to Halifax a couple of times in the late 60s and their ground was a complete joke, from memory on one side they had the smallest stand I have ever seen at a League club which surely couldn't have seated 50. On the other side it was covered but only an embankment underneath where at the...

    If Southend United cease to exist.....

    What would you do? I reckon I might watch speedway, a low quality regional Ice Hockey/Basketball team or perhaps just hang around the bus stops at the top of Hamlet Court road with a can. Anyone else?

  10. Safe Standing- Government seeking advice on laws to review

    A message from the Football Supporters Federation. The new coalition government has pledged to scrap unnecessary and “nannying” laws.
