  1. Advice for visiting Roots Hall

    Dear Southend fans As part of my quest to visit all 92 league grounds I'm hoping to get to Roots Hall in December, so I'm after some advice for my visit. I've pencilled in 18th Dec for your game against Wycombe, do you envisage me having any problems getting tickets? Also I'd like to sit...

    Atmosphere Against Morecambe! TBV

    Well done all in the Blue Voice section, such a **** game. But we carried on and with the numbers Morecambe brought down we done a good job. So come over into THE BLUE VOICE and sing, times are hard. Lets not loose Faith. UTB :support: :kev: Sing Up Southend :training:

    The Blue Voice Atmosphere v Torquay

    TrueBlue asked me to write this and a video of today will be uploaded tomorrow. Today atmosphere, well what can you say! :happy: It was superb, we sang our hearts out for 90 minutes and it seems to have paid off. TrueBlue kept it going along with Smiffy fabulous drumming skills, One note ...

    Question I was....

    I was wondering if there was any way at all that the Shrimpers song could be blasted out of the tannoy before the match. Add to the atmosphere? And, insult West Ham at the same time.

    Interview with an Exile - Part 11: The tables have turned!

    Hi folks, This will be the final Interview with an Exile for Series 1, and I thought I would give some of the people I have cheekily edited on here over the past few months the opportunity to get their own back. So in the series finale, I am answering the questions! Would like to thank...

    Shrimpers United in Brisbane

    Statski77 (Matt) is currently over here on holiday visiting his family who live in Brisbane now and last night we met up for the Queensland Roar game. We had a few beers pre-match in Caxton Street and into the ground where he took a few photo's which I'm sure will be posted on here when he...

    Stadium MK

    Just a thought really. Having spent a freezing afternoon at the superbly named Stadium MK I was somewhat surprised to see the crowd announced at just over 10k. The place was half empty and the atmosphere was more akin to a funeral. Given that MKD are 2nd in the league, it is likely that 10k...

    STOCKPORT we're in the OPEN end.

    Stockport match tickets now being advertised on the OS. Should be a good trip by Road, Rail or Coach and match tickets are only £16 BUT IN THE OPEN END. So mid January open terrace whatever the weather, useless for atmosphere and we could be a load of soggy shrimpers by the end. Does...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 7 - Sufc_girl

    This week, Rachel (Sufc_girl) from Canada answers the questions. Apologies for the 18's rating on the thread, this was put there merely to make her feel a little more nervous than she no doubt already is :D Below is Rachel with her new fella... 1) How long have you been an exile? A)...

    Evening Wasted On Pointless Big Cup

    Through, but only just. Chelsea survived a scare to book their place in the next round of the Champions League, but their progression was anything from straightforward on another nervy night for Luiz Felipe Scolari. Roma's victory over Bordeaux meant that this result was academic, but there was...

    Gallas Must Go

    There is a saying in England that it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Apparently no-one told William Gallas. The Arsenal captain, in an interview that will do for his career what Little Bighorn did to General Custer's, accused his...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 4 - Overseas Shrimper

    This week, Mark (Overseas Shrimper) from Malta takes part in the Interview with an Exile... 1) How long have you been an exile? A) I have been in exile since ’95, mostly in Malta but with stints in India and back in London. Even though I returned to the UK, it was for work and I...

    Essex Derby - A plea

    For the first time in just over two months away from the UK I'm starting to feel homesick. It's not that I'm longing for the beer (I'm getting used to ice cold schooners instead of pints of warm ale) and I'm certainly not missing the weather (as I look out of my office window at bright sunshine...

    Tilson's weekend preview

    One or two interesting things on Tilly's preview. It would seem that Barny declared himself fit for Tuesday night, when he was obviously still in discomfort. On the negative side, I don't think this did him or his team mates any great service but on the positive side, the desperate wish to get...
  18. Zone Update Revelling In It...

    I’d like to start this week’s column by talking about something I witnessed last week. Picture this, you’re new to the Club, you know only one person there and you’re due to attend your first training session since joining. Banter is always rife at Clubs like Southend so you want to arrive...

    Memory Lane KURSAAL Memories?

    It's 74 years since we moved from the Kursaal to the Stadium and what I want to know has anyone got any passed down stories of this time? My grandfather who died nearly 57 years ago was a big fan from those days, but I know very little about him or the Kursaal,. Family legend tells us that he...

    Tr-Nations/Bledisloe Cup decider

    Went to the Rugby at Suncorp Stadium last night - Wallabies vs All Blacks. Really good seats, practically on the try line and a great atmosphere in the stadium. Whilst I have not been converted to the egg shapped ball it was an experience being so close to top international Rugby and seeing...
