    Memory Lane Jimmy McAlinden v Sammy McCrory Rd 1:1 - poll now added

    Our first tie of the Battle of Southend's Greatest Players (pre-1980) pits two internationals who played for the same country and I think both played for the club in the 1950s. They may have even been team-mates. So what made Jimmy McAlinden and Sammy McCrory so great? What memories do people...

    Apple admit they are not perfect. Nice. Hopefully you will be able to clip it to your belt so you still look the business.
  6. Blair Sturrock, Yes or No?

    I really hope it's not true that he is giving his son Blair a trial. He's signed him before. He's hardly going to say sorry son you failed the trial. It's basically looking after your own, but it's a waste of salary to the club. These things normally don't work out as the father always over...

    There comes a time and I think it is rapidly approaching if not already here when a persons position within any organisation may become untenable.

    "Bye,Bye Miss American Pie.This is the day that the music died". Since the Trust no longer seems to serve any useful purpose maybe it's time for it to be wound up? :unsure: <The Shrimpers Trust are naturally disappointed to note the contents of the recent statement released by Southend United...

    Question Anyone know their contract law?

    I'm very sceptical when I get told "inside information" as 90% of the time its not true. In this case I heard it from someone I know has connections with the club so I think it is worthy of posting here. It seems that several of the players agents may be seeking legal advice as they believe the...

    What's the difference between the SUFC that finished 8th last year to this term?

    Humorous answer: About 8 places. But seriously, looking at the squad which ended the 2008-2009 season in a commendable 8th position, it's interesting how little changed: 1 Mildenhall 2 Francis 4 Dervitte 5 Clarke 6 Barrett 14 Moussa 8 McCormack 7 Grant 17 Robinson 9 Barnard 26 Laurent...

    Hard to like SUFC at the moment

    Anyone else feeling little but apathy for SUFC at the moment? I've been a supporter since '86 and been all over the place and had season tickets etc. But this season and what is happening is just depressing. The squad is being stripped bare and replaced by cheap alternatives, loans and in most...
  16. Interesting Read

    My club, Southend United, has been in the public eye for all the wrong reasons lately what with the possibility of administration. My question is how much does the manager of a club know about the financial goings on at a club and how much would that affect their choice to stay at a club? Matt...
  17. Companies Act 2006-Directors Responsibilities

    As more and more information seeps out about the Blues parlous financial condition, the thought had crossed my mind that some consideration should be given to the role of the SUFC Board in matters reaching the state they have. Until very recently, I was Chairman of a small transport company in...
