    The TrueBlue Rally Cry - Rochdale

    Well well well, what a last few weeks its been on the pitch for Southend but my friends our work is not complete. Today we see a decent Rochdale side at the hall from the grim outskirts of North Manchester birthplace of the Co-Op movement but all that aside we can't afford to be lax in the...
  2. Family Bonanza Day v York City

    Another good initative by Southend United for the match v York City on October 27 and let's hope it is well supported. I am a mad keen Southend United fan but also double up as a rugby coach on Sundays. I will be bringing a party of 25 from Basildon U15's into the North Bank for the...

    Memory Lane Best Atmospheres #2 - SUFC V Brizzle City and Goat's last game.

    6th May 2006. Jeez how time passes !!! I'd forgotten how close to the end Gray's goal was but this was a party atmosphere given the Man City fans that made the trip, the reception from the Br City fans and the promotion, title and farewell party. Awesome day. Completely different to Memory #1...
  4. Your Memories of Barry Returning to Roots Hall with Birmingham City the First Time?

    Can you remeber when Barry fry first returned to Roots Hall with Birmingham City, back in the early 90's. Where are your memories of that day. I was in the east blue seats. I rember 5 miniutes from kick off and seeing the que for the North Bank going all the way round the car park and to the...

    Broncos Buck Losing Trend With Record Breaking Comeback

    An unbelievable 80 minutes at the Stoop this afternoon. Broncos ahead after 5 minutes then fall to bits. Opponents Salford City Reds hammer in six tries before half time, albeit with only two converted, one of them comically way wide from in front of the posts. Half time, Broncos 6, City Reds...
  6. Now I've been thinking......

    my younger brother (14 years old) wants to start coming football with me. We are Spurs fans and I simply cannot afford two people going to Premier League matches week in week out, and suggested that we look at localish football teams. Southend, Dagenham and Orient being the options....... Orient...
  7. Hi to all

    hello, baskerville 194 here, new to site, season ticket holder for few years in south stand, travel to numerous away games including Accrington when came called off at 1.30pm. Also best away game ever been to, the play off second leg away to Doncaster, we got stuffed but the most enjoyable...
  8. FL to revert to 7 subs next season

    It's being reported that the FL have decided to revert to 7 subs next season. Good move? Personally, I think so. It should give younger players more of an opportunity to sample the atmosphere around 1st team games.

    How our Parents/Grandparents coped with the War.

    Here we are it’s DoDtS’s summer saga. Totally non football related, but my attempt to understand how and what our forebears had to endure through the war in a series of extracts from the Southend Standards of the times. Not everybody’s cup of tea but if your not interested then don’t read it...
  10. In front of the cameras

    How often over the years has the beloved SUFC failed to impress when in front of the cameras? Aside from 42 minutes at home to Chelsea, seldom have the boys risen to the occassion. Well for obvious reasons, this HAS to change on Wednesday. This is stage 1 of the Incredible Plan that includes a...
  11. Atmosphere Wednesday Night!

    After Saturday's disappointing defeat i'm really hoping the atmosphere at Roots Hall doesnt put pressure on our players, we need to be right behind them vocally from the off and stay with the team through thick and thin. Would be nice to get a Doncaster away atmosphere in our own ground when we...
  12. Crewe's Following..

    just been told by a lad from Crewe I know..that they've filled 6 coaches so far and have a waiting list for a 7th and have sold over 600 tickets..for a wednesday night looks like they're going to have a fair few at Roots hall..was impressed by the home noise..hopefully it'll be a good atmosphere...
  13. Frankie the half breed

    Question Information sought

    What's going on for Wednesday night, is the North Bank open for us? Asking this as I'm sure the North Bank will only be open for Crewe am I right? If so what are the ticket prices does anyone know? Actually to avoid any confusion, where will the atmosphere be? Hopefully everywhere ;) But you...

    Question For those not going to Crewe tomorrow

    For those of us that can't make it to Crewe tomorrow for whatever reason, is there a particular pub people are going to, to watch the game? Would be nice to get a crowd of Blues fans to a pub to create a good atmosphere.

    Weird atmosphere..naturally.

    Despite all our optimism and a relatively comfy ride for the team - the atmosphere was tense. Even when in the promtion position with 15 minutes to play, it was relatively subdued and nervous. That is how it is when, no matter what our team does, we were all waiting for bad news from Lancashire...

    Update from the Club - Re; North Bank etc

    Speaking to Jobbo this morning.... They cant have macclesfield in the east blue - last time this happened a fight broke out so thats a no go! However they are going to look at giving us yet another block towards the east side of the north so it will be like Accrington but a block futher to the...

  18. North Bank @That Big Stadium up in 'The Smoke'?

    Now we are only 2 matches from That Big Stadium up in the Smoke , I started thinking about our first 2 visits to Cardiff. 20,000 fans, but no songs - because all the vocal support were scattered throughout occasional supporters on a day trip. To get any atmosphere at That Big Stadium up in the...
  19. Oxford Away

    Just got tickets for Oxford away. Selling well I'm told. Anybody know best place to park as have not been to The Kassam - only the old ground.

    Perfect end to the season?

    If you asked me at the beginning of the season what the perfect end would be if I could choose it would be to beat Crawley in the playoff final at Wembley. Whilst it is a bit depressing to see how we have fallen from the autos this scenario is still very much a possibility. I wonder if the...
