    Catchment and support

    Sorry if this has been posted before but i chanced across a map of catchment areas by club, which shows some interesting stats, for example we have (according to this report) a larger catchment than Manure, Wham and Chelsea. 600k potential plus fans on our doorstep... where were they last...

    Question Bristol Rovers confirm take over and not us, why?

    Bristol Rovers confirm takeover and not us, why? I see that Bristol Rovers have been taken over by a Jordanian billionaire and he wants to get the stadium under way. They did have planning permission in place I believe, so that may be the attraction for said businessman. Maybe we would be as...
  3. Fill Roots Hall (at least a bit)

    I read with interest the posts about how to increase our attendance and really applaud all the initiatives and hope we can get more people involved/interested in what is a huge catchment area. Just as a one off "experiment" if you will, why don't we choose a game (I suggest Scunny at home on...

    Secondary schools in Southend

    My daughter is at that age we are looking at her next school and have been going to a few open evenings. To be honest Im horrified at the schools in the area and would appreciate other peoples views. She is a bright girl and is going for her 11+ and I think its 50/50 whether she passes it, if...

  7. Question Who are they to say we cannot DREAM the DREAM!

    I was incensed to read that a certain Roy Donaughie and Ipshite say we are punching above our weight.What right have they except freedom of speech, wasnt it just a few short years ago Swansea were gighting relegation from the 2nd division into the conference.I bet their supporters then were...
  8. Attendance question

    I notice quite a lot of people mentioned the attendance last night which led me to question: If you were offered a crowd of 3,000 with tickets priced at £20 each or a crowd of 6,000 with tickets priced at £10 each, what would you choose? I’m not suggesting there is a direct correlation of...

I am told that some of the emails have been paraphrased but I am sure they include the gist. I...

    A Southend statistic of note!

    For any fellow geeks who are interested, I was browsing Wikipedia earlier (as you do), and found out that population wise, Southend is now the 8th largest town in England, and the 30th biggest when counted amongst all other cities, with a population of 160,257. That is significantly higher...

    Who will be the top club in Anglia in 5 years from now ???

    Ok so its a bit of a hypothetical question , but I was wondering who will come out on top in a few years from now . Norwich ? already there - good backing - excellent catchment area Ipswich ? - could lose support to the folk down the hill Col Ewe ? -one of the new grounders - if they...
  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...
  16. Evening Standard

    This is tonight's Evening Standard editorial, not the sport pages, the bloody editorial where they comment on the most important story of the day from all over the world. ..and this from a paper that I'm always moaning hardly ever mentions us despite being in their catchment area...
