    OD - Week 5

    ShrimperZone CC v BGS XI 3rd v 5th. We have the skills advantage but they have the fitness. They're also adept at punching above their weight having beaten Brianstoke last season and surviving in a very tough division. With our bowling line up at lively/invigorated and a tough cup game on...

    Breaking News Boli deal is off

    This mornings echo has a story that the Boli deal is off. PS feels that the squad morale is good , the results are going well and that it would be unfair on the players we currently have to bring in a new face and upset the apple cart. is this a polite way of saying. We couldn't afford the...

    Free Tickets for Morecambe

    We have been kindly donated 3 pairs of tickets for the South Lower for tomorrows game... rather than just give them away to anybody if you know of someone with a child or maybe a couple that would like a pair of these tickets and for some reason cannot afford to go (even though tickets are just...

    Question Tickets for Friday Night?

    Just checking if anyone would have any spare tickets for Friday night, I need six of them and will buy them for a fair price - only problem is none of myself or my friends can afford the full ticket price! Either this, or if anyone happens to have a few spare Sun Ticket Vouchers from a few...
  5. Ref Watch .... Accrington away

    Saturday's match will be refereed by Jock Waugh from Sheffield. He is in his third season as a League referee although he missed a good chunk of last season through injury. He has refereed Southend just once before, at Hartlepool the season before last when we lost 3-0. The only Southend player...

    What we can afford

    I read somewhere over the weekend and damn I cannot find it on line now, but it said that we can only send troops to Afghanistan(or the next worthless fight) so long as we as a country can afford it. WTF is that about, we sends kids who are dying daily in based on money to risk their lives...

    Re: Prospects - Time to make a stand

    Re: Prospects - Time to make a stand So what with the Echo article the other week, it appears Prospects are again playing hard ball. You can in a way see their point, failed completions etc, but as a local business and not a private site for personal gain. Surely it is in their interest to go...
  8. Two wingers

    Now that we seem to have two wingers worthy of the name, could we afford to play both wide players, espcially if clubs come here and play five in the middle with only one up front, my thinking is its possible we could be slightly outguned with only two central midfielders. Personally id like to...

    OD - Week 10

    Parkway Sports v ShrimperZone CC Sigh. At least it's out of the way now. I see Muse has the same issue next week! Currently very torn on whether to keep HHH next season. Now I'm training to replace rather then sell I'm jettisoning three of my trainees in a few weeks so can afford to keep...
  11. Charles Ademeno

    i saw on bbc interactive that he had been released by grimsby. For some reason i would'nt mind him to come for a trial back at us because we lack that spped and skill up top and if we cannot afford much maybe he could be worth a punt. A few years at a non-league club can do a player good and he...
  12. Steve Tilson

    Breaks my hearts to have to post this in 'Ex-Shrimpers'.... Now the Tilson-era is over, what do you consider to be his greatest achievement at Southend United Football Club?

    Vote NO for contribution to Scotish Tour

    Why should the club go on a jolly that the club cannot afford? Why should the Trust pay half of the money needed? Are they gonna pay my expenses too if i cannot afford to go? Bloody right they are not! Being as the Trust has just spent £12,000.00 of Trust Members money on Physio equipment...
  14. OD - Week 4

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Park Avenue CC We take in the side in 6th today, the 1st of a run of 4 consecutive Home games, which should boost the coffers nicely. Full-strength side out, but PFL's are starting to bite, we need to get another bowler in sharpish... Lost Fitz early again, he's now scored...
  15. Miguel Llera

    sky sports transfer centre says that miguel llera is leaving charlton on a free in the summer. Wouldn't mind him here. lives near enough. what does everyone think?? presuming we can afford him.

    Possible Protests & Actions: THE POLL

    The 'Time for action NOW?' thread, no matter it's good intentions is becoming bogged down in arguments and discussions. There have been a number of suggested courses of actions, but I think people need to see what courses of actions would have the most popular support. I'm not trying to set...
  17. Ref Watch Just for the record ...

    ..... the refwatch I attempted to post yesterday! Unusually, the match official is not the one who called off the original game (Carl Boyeson). The man in charge is David Webb (no, not that David Webb) from County Durham. In his third season, he is quite highly rated as one of the more...

    Well for me and 2 mates we enjoy our home football from AM to PM we have a great time making a full day of it with stop to the cafe followed by a few hours in the pub then hit the betting shop, match then home (or pub) we was discussing the increase and i feel more for the guys/dolls who take...
  19. Developmental Contracts

    With the news that we have offered 6 contracts to youth team players, does it mean the end for the four players who are currently already on developmental contracts? Can anyone shed any light on whether Adetayo Osifuwa, Merrick James-Lewis, Marcus Milner or Kyle Asante deserve to get a pro...

    Players wages last season

    Sorry if this has been covered before, I try to read as many of the posts that I can, but some will inevitably get missed. There are still constant references to the players last season under-performing because they weren't getting paid and who can afford to work for nothing. But I was under...
