  1. Rules idea: Injuries caused by deliberate fouls

    Had a thought on the back of the Julian Bennet situation, where he was injured by a deliberate foul and is now out for 6 months. terrible luck on the lad, and also terrible luck on Southend, given the financial constraints we're under. I used to think that it would be interesting if, when a...

    Disgusted!!

    Just had a phone call from the club and apparently last night in the East Black toilets sinks were blocked and taps left running about ten minutes before full time. The club estimate around 2k worth of damage has been done and this has subsequently caused a leak into the Trusts Shrimpers Bar...

    1st game of the season - starting to get excited already....

    Normally I book the first two weeks of the kids holidays off but as we went to Florida in March and New York in June I only have enough holiday for a week this year, which is lucky as didnt even think about the season starting so early. However that does mean I will be in the Lake District on...

  5. Ref Watch ........ Cheltenham

    Tonight's referee is Stuart Attwell from Warwickshire, refereeing his 5th Southend match. A somewhat notorious official, Mr Attwell was promoted to the Select Group after just two unexceptional seasons as a League referee. It is fair to say that this fast-tracking favoritism caused more than a...
  6. Shale Gas/Fracking

    Finally the government has done something that might actually encourage growth. There is an abundance of shale gas in the North of England. It has the potential to dramtically reduce energy prices and also reduce carbon emissions since gas power generation emits a lot less carbon than coal. In...

    Holman - Braintree Town

    I watched the cup game last night between Braintree and Tranmere and really enjoyed it. Thought that Braintree played some really nice stuff and just lacked a bit of luck in front of goal. the guy that impressed me the most was the lad called Holman. Heard him mentioned a few times on BBC Essex...

    Zone Update Tomorrow Wednesday

    Hi all, the Zone will be down for up to 5 hours at some point tomorrow whilst we have some major surgery caused by the recent site crashes. Sorry for the inconvenience but hopefully this will cure all the faults. John.

    Southend Stadium

    I wrote the following article which appeared in the Crewe programme on Wednesday, and knowing that many don't buy a programme thought I would post it here. May be of intrerest to some of you, but despite being historical in content its still very relevent to now. DoDtS SOUTHEND STADIUM The...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 4-0 Cheltenham

    Well what a great night at the hall, certainly a real buzz around the return of you know who. Firstly there was my personal frustration with the starting formation tonight one up top at home in a must win game seemed insane. The game started off at a frantic pace lots of hustle and bustle from...

    Form of the 6 Promotion contenders (Part 2)

    I did one of these about 6 or 7 games ago, so thought it was time to update it. SWINDON Form over the last 10 games is amazing, going back to their 4-1 win over us. 27 points, 9 wins and 1 defeat (coming against Oxford 3 games ago). 5 of their last 6 games have been at home, and it appears...

    Zone Update The Secret of our Success

    Well it's fairly simple really, it is YOU! It is however worth explaining to all where we are now. In the past 2 years we have nearly trebled the amount of members that use the Zone and this has now caused us to face up to the fact our server space is to small.....Recent issues with crashes...
  19. Ryan Hall in advance role

    What a difference it made having a bit of pace upfront in the last 15 mins. Richards and Laurence had the easiest games of thier lives untill Ryan went on the last man and caused them to panic which led to the goal. During all our home games this season teams have come to Roots Hall with a...
