  1. Battle of the Bonds

    Rapid fire "Battle" Stick your name next to a film, and then a draw will be put together to determine the winner (by way of vote). If you sign up, please make sure you back your 'pick' by providing youtube clips/pictures/text about why you're supporting it. These get boring if it's just a vote...

    Junior Blues Meet the Players Day today

    Will report back later, I hope to see some of you over at Boots and Laces for this exclusive JB event. Do come and introduce yourself if I don't already know you!

  3. Planning input - potential petition

    The good news about being in the planning stage is we have a bit of power in our hands. I'd be interested to know if many on here would be supportive of signing a petition to present to council planning officials, for consideration when approving the new stadium plans. My proposal would be a...

    Down on their uppers..........a crisis closer to home

    Found this article on the Independent on line. Whether or not you are a lover of Northampton Town, this is a sad story which will strike a chord with some aspects of our own situation. I can only empathise with the feeling of Cobblers' supporters and hope that things will turn out for the best...

    Pre-Match Thread Barnsley at home

    The team seem to be working very well at the moment and it would be good if they could get the extra support the efforts deserve. Nice to see 6500 odd last Saturday but would be great to get over 7k for the game against Barnsley. Deegan will be suspended and Timlin a big doubt. Could be a...

    Sort of New

    Hey everyone. My name is Andrew and I joined Shrimperzone back in 2013 but sort of forgot about it as I was busy with Uni work etc. Anyway, I have been supporting Southend since the age of 6 (I'm now 22) and sit with my parents and friends in the East Stand Yellow. Also, I have a blog where I...

    A few tips on predicting

    I thought a few facts might help towards successful predicting, or perhaps not. :nope: Firstly as true Southend fans we are taught from the beginning of our supporting careers, that Southend are world beaters and that Col Ewe are the worst club in the country. Hence predicting is easy Southend...

  9. Are our expectations too high!!

    As a supporter off this club for 30+ years, do we expect too much! We are a lower league club with fairly good crowds, we have our moments of glory, for example last year, early 90's and 10 years ago apart from that we are just a normal lower league club. We have all seen some good and bad...

    Does the pyramid system change much?

    The pyramid system certainly makes football more exciting and gives non-league clubs hope of the Football League dream. HOWEVER, it changes very little. Non league clubs remain non league style clubs playing in the Football League..in general. Look at the lowest attendances in League 2 last...
  12. trauma

    I have had a traumatic few months and seek advice. After nearly 13 years in a senior role it became clear that my number was up. I took a voluntary severance deal which leaves me ok sort of financially but my confidence and self esteem have taken a pounding. I have had anxiety attacks and feel...

    The future of W block meeting

    I have a meeting with the club on Wednesday to discuss problems and issues that have arisen with W block and not to mention safety. I have to report some sad news that at the Stevenage game quite a few seats were broken by our own fans, let me just say that ain't on! I know some may have been...

    Tunisia massacre

    Very surprised there hasn't been a thread on this over the weekend. Now saying more than 30 Brits assassinated by what might or might not have been a lone ISIS gunman. My heartfelt sympathies to the victims and their families, my thanks to the tourist reps on the ground in the resorts there...
