  2. Russia Bombings

    Shrimperama bad mouthing Southend

    I am not a great fan of shrimperzoners going onto other Forums and winding up that board. We don't like it when people do it on here and so feel we should not be hypocrites.

  7. Would It Be That Bad Staying In League 2?

    Whilst climbing the ladder is fantastic and of course the football is a lot better, but for next season only, would it be that bad staying in this division? I am coming purely a proximity point of view. With Stevenage looking certain for the drop from League 1 and Col Ewe being in the mix for...
  8. Who Wants Our Club Dead?

    There is a concerted campaign going on to drive Ron Martin out of business and deny him the chance to build Martin's Mall at Fosset's Farm. So what? Martin has a reputation for making enemies and saying what people want to hear while doing things they'd rather he didn't. Not many people would...

    Question What is making you happy today?

    Instead of what is hacking you off, what is bringing a smile to your face, or pleasing you today? For me, I'm chuffed for the people of Wootton Bassett, for the Prime Minister has confirmed today that the Queen has for the first time in 100 years granted the use of the Royal title, and Wootton...
