    Orient thrashing, the 'Taking' of the Spread, and Wiggy's Identity Finally Revealed

    I had every intention of defying my usual trend of taking only 4 photos every trip to see Southend play, but the above is all I got this time around :D Friday morning started bright and early at 7am, where Billy no mates here made his way to Shannon Airport. Got a sneaky, and rather greasy...

    Goin to northern ireland for the weekend, no luggage, just hand baggage so i have done the online check in thing. Flight leaves stansted at 11:10 tomorrow morning, gate closes at 10:40. Here's my dilemma, the X30 leaves rayleigh at 7:30, arrives at stansted 8:32. OR X30 leaves rayleigh 8:30...

    What's your matchday routine?

    As per the title really. What do you usually get up to on the day of a home Saturday fixture? My pattern is as follows: Usually finish work at 2am on Saturday morning, pack and get ready to leave for airport at 4.30 am. Perhaps set up the official match thread on here nice and early...

    Brazilian ‘wonderkid’ to return to The Blues

    You may remember a few months ago we reported on the potential link-up between Brazilian Club Ferroviaro and Southend United FC to allow the Club’s finest youth prospects the opportunity to develop their skills at the Blues. This report also mentioned how one especially talented 13 year old...

    Live Music Experiences.

    After Shrimper James's thread about your festival line-ups, it got me thinking back to the last festival I went to in 2005 and it's one I'll never forget. We all love live music no matter what music we enjoy, there's just something fantastic about hearing and seeing your favourite...

    Could this be a sign??

    My mate works at Stansted as a baggage handler (my old job), noticed this on a suit case this morning flying out to Ireland!!! It could just be a coincedence but it could mean the signing of an Eircom league player?? Who knows but you have seen it hear first LOL!

    Would you move to Blackpool for double your money.

    I was watching the play off finals between Blackpool and Yeovil on Sunday with the lads down our local while battling with the worst roast I have ever had the misfortune to eat. The lads and I did a mission to Blackpool about 10 years ago to celebrate my mates 18th and I have got to say I have...
  11. wales and freddie

    IF Freddie stays with us; if he does well for Wales; if he travels to Slovkia for game on 12 September, then you can get a direct flight to Bratislava from Stansted pretty cheap. If anyone wants suggestions on places to stay etc then let me know as I live here and can recommend some good...
  12. My 20 hour day to watch the Blues

    Alarm went off at 4am, had to be at Stansted by 5.30 to get the 6.45 flight to Blackpool. Was in Blackpool by 8am, had a walk along the seafront. Blackpool is a really great seaside resort and would have liked more time there(maybe they will go up and we can play them next season). Arrived in...
  13. Friendlies

    I kinda started a thread about Central Europe and the opportunity for SUFC to come to Slovakia on a pre season tour. A tournament would be arranged with teams like Art Media (who beat Celtic 5-0 last season), Slovan and Poprad. Plus another British team are already planning to tour so a mini...
  14. Opportunity lost?

    I work in Slovakia and was approached by a colleague who was aware of a Slovak U21 international defender who wanted a move to UK. His club were resigned to selling him but not to a rival team. So I contacted SUFC, addressed to RM, but sadly I have not heard anything. I also, through my...

    Sorry its a bit late but what a day out. Stayed at my old mans in Hullbridge and got picked up by mates at 4am for short trip to Stansted. After being harrased by the security staff we set of for the bar and had a quick drink. Got to departure lounge and it was full of Southend fans - Maybe...
