Come Watch ShrimperZone F.C. I in their first ever Cup Final

[Bob Cratchitt]

On Sunday 20th April 2008, ShrimperZone F.C. I's will be taking on Kingsfield Casuals 2nds at Burroughs Park, Great Wakering at 2.30pm.

The clubhouse will be open and it would be very good to see as many SZ.com posters come over to support the team. Regardless of misconceptions in the past, SZ.com has always been an integral part of SZFC.

The birth of the club came from a disagreement between 2 posters Westcliff Shrimper aka Xabia Shrimper and FM13 who would continue to wind each other up. Well one thread got to the point when one decided he could be a better manager than the other, and match was agreed to settle this, the posters were divided by age so the younger posters joined FM13's team and the elder posters joined WS's team. The match took place in the morning of that year's FA Cup final @ Priory Park with Jumpers for goal posts.

After the successful game *ORM* decided that we could seriously create a football team made of SZ.com posters. Our first meeting was held in the Spread Eagle when people volunteered to take positions on the committee and the rest they say is history.

So if you wish to be part of history in the making or just another chance to meet up with other SZ.com posters than make sure you come along and support the Blues.

The only downer is that the Sceptre League are going to be charging £4 - Adults and £1 Concessions for admission although this does include a Commemorative programme.

The birht of the club came from a disagreement between 2 posters Westcliff Shrimper aka Xabia Shrimper and FM13 who would continue to wind each other up, very similar to True Blue and Bluetonic at the moment.

I'm not paying to watch a repeat.

And are the first round of drinks on our chairman?

 

[leeblue]

will the blue voice be there

 

[Cricko]

Are you taking the Flag Lee?

If so yes you can wave it from the sidelines ...;)

 

[Bob Cratchitt]

Can't believe a little bit of comparison to modern posters was deemed to unsafe. What has the world come to, oh well you cannot censor the programme :p

Sorry for the date, was posting whilst also sorting out the little un's dinner. Proof that men cannot multi task especially when posting on the sly in the kitchen. ;)

Oh here is a map

Also the ShrimperZone FC flag will be present.

 

[leeblue]

cricko you cheeky little monkey, you are partly right though I will come off after about 70 mins with some sort of strain

The history is appreciated, not previously aware of how it all came about, Andee.

After Carlisle Road Trip, and assuming the wife's car does not break down [we know a very nice man if so], I will be coming along to hopefully see SZ lift 1st of what is hoped to be many cups - and that will then be cemented/embedded in the on-going history.

I nominate Andee for postion of Historian and for SZFC History & Custodian of maintaining Honours records on SZ [unless there may already be someone appointed ?].

There is some Scottish guy you may have heard of already doing that.

 

[leeblue]

trouble is no one can understand him

Not Hoots McTavish?

 

[number11]

Indeed, would be great to see as many people supporting the ShrimperZone team as possible.

Shrimperzone will of course be in Southend United colours, and I think their opponents play in Claret and Blue....booooo!

 

[The General]

So we aint playing in the Sky Blue army kit then ... !?

;)

 

[leeblue]

sky blue army

 

[Einstein]

I would wish SZFC good luck, but it won't be needed.

Just put 110% in like you have all season and you'll be victorious.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Don't think I'll be able to make the revised date, but all the best boys.

Are BBC Essex providing radio coverage?

Will Don be playing for the other team then?

 

[Cricko]

Will Don be playing for the other team then?

Will Don even be playing?
Will Kev have his perm done beforehand?
Will Flapper get away from the Chip shop?
Will Lee manage to make his legs work?
Will Scrounger buy a Drink.
Will Matty Spit at somebody.

So many questions and so few answers ...I doubt FS will have a nights sleep between now and the Final.

;)

Why do people mock Young Don, he's SZFC's most capped player for a reason. PM either ORM, The Flying Scotsman or me to find out why.

 

[SamuraiBlue]

What shrimperzoners are playing in this final then?

Let's have an expected starting 11 - or maybe the 11 that started the last match
