Shrewsbury Town – The New Meadow Another early start, well early for me anyway, as I caught the 10.44 from Shipley to Leeds for the start of my three legged journey down to Shrewsbury via Manchester. However, the long journey to the south west gave my an opportunity to reflect on our season so far and how we have improved as team in the 18 months or so since Paul Sturrock ...
Northampton Town – Sixfields Stadium After seeing Southend defeated three times in a week just before Christmas, at Cheltenham and Oldham, and at home against Bradford, the blues have picked up seven points out of possible nine since then. Indeed, but for the floodlight débâcle at Aldershot, where the lights went out, and the game abandoned at half time with the shrimpers ...
Oldham Athletic – Boundary Park After Southend held their higher league opponents to a commendable draw in the FA Cup round 2 tie at Roots Hall the Saturday before last, I made the short trip west along the M62 to Oldham for the Tuesday night replay. The winners have the added incentive of taking on Liverpool at Anfield in round 3 in January. I'm sure both clubs' ...
Cheltenham Town – Whaddon Road This was only my second visit to Whaddon Road, the first being way back in October 1999. Although I remember the trip and the ground quite well, I can't recall anything about the match itself, which we lost 2 – 1.

Supported Blues since 1948. Great run at present and long may it continue. Win the league and JPT at Wembley. In my opinion Blues forwards that have given me the most entertainment and excitement are John McKinven, Peter Corthine, Bill Garner, Chico Hamilton, Freddy Eastwood, Stan Collymore, Errol Crossan, and Billy Best. Great players but for pure excitement it has to be Stan the Man. Wish I was at Roots Hall for todays game. UP THE BLUES!!!!!!
