    A new era for the inbreds...

    ...or maybe not. Their phenomenal attendance of 5,340 yesterday included 1,000 away fans, so according to my maths their star signings and world class arena succeeded in attracting all of 4,340 home fans. Pathetic, in a word. Given that they are still full of their prospects for becoming an...

    ...and its not football related!!!! In someone's wisdom, they have decided that next weekend will be the perfect time to re-surface the roundabout by Tesco's as you head towards RH. There are signs up already pre-warning drivers that works will start at 14.00 on the 9th August and will go on to...

    Fancy a swim?

    If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one. It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. Yesterday the Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool...

    Transfers/ Loan Signings

    Everyone seems to be going on about possible transfer targets. Would it be just my opinion in thinking that Tilly has made great progress in attracting loan signings, with January being his best ever effort. Will this source of new players be continued in July? Will this provide an area...

    Bristol City v Hull City

    There can’t be many people who, when the Championship season began, thought that today’s SG$120m Play-Off Final would be contested between newly promoted Bristol City and almost relegated Hull City. In fact, if you’d have asked an expert, or even if you’d just have asked me, you’d have been told...

    Tilson is moaning about being down to the bare bones ...

    ... after selling Richards, allowing Foran to be on loan for the rest of the season and generally not attracting players to the Hall. Now i love the bloke, more than any manager before but he does sometimes come out with some complete tripe. For those that know me ( both on here and in person )...

  9. Can Southend follow Swansea's lead

    Not sure if there has been a thread on this but on SSN they were just talking to the Swansea Manager Roberto Martinez about an initiative that Swansea have brought in to encourage more of the youngsters to go along to the Liberty Stadium. They are kicking of at 7pm instead of 7:45pm and also...

    I've sent my e-mail in as per Ron's instructions, and I'm encouraged by the number of other SZ people who have done the same. Is it worth us posting our letters in this part of the forum in case there's anyone out there who may be looking for some inspiration or some idea as to the sort of thing...

    Paul Ince seems to bie attracting some big names - then signs Drewe! Please someone explain. At least he hasn't re-signed for us! MK Dons have signed former Chester striker Drewe Broughton on a one-year deal. The 28-year-old, who spent time on loan at Boston last season, impressed whilst on...

    Surprisingly accurate personality test

    http://www.animalinyou.com/survey.asp When I worked at The Independent we used this personality test on ten people in the office and it was pretty much spot-on in every case. It only asks a handful of questions, so God knows how it works. Anywhere, here's me. I'm a rooster! Roosters are...

  15. Stop Living in the Past!

    I do not understand why so many fans seem willing to write this season off and are therefore not bothered by our current form. Many fans are almost willing us to get relegated just so the club can return to the days of playing Macclesfield / Barnet and attracting 3500 people a game. We are a...

    How do we build for the future?

    We know we're a relatively small(ish) club thats over-achieved in the last few years due to hard work, but how do we go about making the transition from this reality to a club mounting a year-on-year competitive challenge? I know the new stadium will eventually bring in a lot more revenue...

    I am as depressed as everyone this morning and it tears me apart to see horrible sides like Hull coming to the Hall and winning but I do think its time for a reality check. We have come into the 2nd highest division in the country and the 5th best in terms of finance in Europe. Is it any wonder...

    Alex Revell

    Anyone know much/seen/rate Alex Revell a young striker at Braintree Town, scored a few goals and seems to be attracting interest from Millwall... Didn't we look at him a while back? Another non-league gem, or over-rated?
