Question Southend United v Colchester United next season?

[Morty01]

I want them to come down, Chelmsford to come up.

I’d hate Chelmsford, or Aveley for that matter, to come up. Who would guess we’d ever play them in a league fixture. That would be horrendous.

Chelmsford used to play Colchester in the Southern League back in the 1940s.

We're where we are. Just enjoy the ride, we'll rise again soon. At least we still have OUR club to support unlike some others down the years!!

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

Bring them down!!
Love the rivalry between us. I remember one of our supporters at layer rd managed to take a col ewe flag from their home end and brought it back in the away terrace where it was set on fire.

I’m sure Tommy2holes got carted off in sweat box as well!!

Hooliganism led to the deaths at the Heysel Stadium. With fencing being implemented in England being a large contributory factor to the number of deaths in the Hillsborough disaster. People should be ashamed that they still think of those days with affection and nostalgia. Ask any Cambridge fan how they feel.

Ewe in bottom two at HT

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Looking more likely as their home record is shocking!

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Could be two Essex derbys next season the way things are going

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Not agreat deal of quality in the game.We need to learn how to finish off matches when we go a goal up.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Col U won 2-1.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Col U won 2-1.

We murdered Newport, we just give daft goals away and struggle to score at the other end, but over all we are much harder to beat!

That's one of the things I said #9 this thread.

Yes and you are spot on, the Cowleys have done well, losing Joe Taylor to Lincoln hit us hard if he had still been with us I think we would have won a few more games.

You have got a great manager in Danny Cowley.

You have got a great manager in Danny Cowley.

Yes the brothers are making a huge difference in terms of the team and the club in general, if they can keep us up and have money to spend, I feel we could do well next season.

I guess that will depend on how ambitious your owner is interms of backing the cowleys. Cowling strikes me as owner who heavily invested in the youth side of things but maybe not the first team, whether he would be prepared to go all out and back cowleys to push for top end of the league im not sure. I do think you have great management for league 2 and with backing you could do well.

I would think some would be happy that no charges were ever brought against them despite slapping Southend fans on the train down. Punching people in the Railway and the Spread. Hurling glasses at home fans that were never looking for trouble and forcing the landlady of the Blue Boar to seek police help during the game.

Probably they regret hanging around even after the police had closed down the football operation at 7pm. Probably regret targeting the Railway on the way home. Hopefully they can be honest with themselves and admit they contributed to what was shameful outcome.

As you rightfully point out in your post. Peoples stupid and sometimes violent actions have knock on effects that can end in disaster. Still worth remembering that far more people have been killed or kicked senseless within 500m of TOTS than ever ever been injured at RH. I remember 6 deaths in one year along the sea front.

More likely one. Chelmsford.
