The picture needs to be uploaded to the web. Your ISP might have given you some free webspace.

Then you press the [Image] button and insert the URL of that picture.

Simple ... kinda ...

I love to look at that design. I'd love it even more to look at the stadium.

Also love the way that someone's finally got the Monty Python vibe with the FEAS copies http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I am sure Ron will be shouting from the rooftops as soon as he has some news. I hope..... http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

I hope so, its about time something was said. Does the development of the new southend college site have an effect on us of any sort?...

something that we haven't talked about with this new place is where would we all sit.. what would the name of the stands be?

we have discussed ground names... kind of.. any ideas..

surely you would have to sit in the stand with the best name... for your first game and then everyone demands to move stands, would be quite interesting. we really should all sit in the same place though and drum up some support.

The main stand will be the "FREDY EASTWOOD" stand! http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[HUMBLEPIE]

I don't think most supporters will give a monkeys what the stands are called....as long as the views are great from all parts of the ground....

[sufcintheprem]

The Drewe Broughton East Stand?

The away satnd could be called something like, The Pit.

I feel the new stadium should be called the "Broomfield Stadium" in honour of Sidney Broomfield, the man who was instrumental in the construction of Roots Hall; this man laid every single concrete step of the old South Bank (which once held over 13,000 spectators) by hand over a FIVE year period - there were 72 steps!

"Some days", Sid recalled, "we would arrive at the ground to discover that heavy overnight rain had swept mud from the top of the banking over the steps we had completed ... it was a real slog".

The man is a legend. He had his own testimonial a few years back. So I'm all for a campaign to name the new stadium is his honour ...

Seconded by me, i think it would be a fitting tribute to a southend legend.
