    SUEPA Event on Saturday v MK: Powell's Pals.

    Right, now there are a few good reasons to be at Roots Hall on Saturday. Helping to relegate MK and seeing SCP hopefully experiment a bit with players he wants to hold on to for the future are two reasons. But the main one, in case you are not yet aware, is that we are having our first big...

  5. Hi everyone

    New member here. Moved to Essex for a spell from 1989 through 1998-ish and started following Southend United as my "local team" shortly thereafter. Went pretty regularly through the promotion seasons, driving to away games in a C-Reg Rover 216 with Jamie from Grays and Stuart "the postman"...

  7. Bill Garner is celebrating his 70th Birthday today 14 Dec

    All this reminiscing we have been doing got me thinking that Bill Garner probably doesn't get the recognition his performances in the 1971/72 promotion team deserve. Today is his 70th Birthday !! Bill joined us in November 1969 from Southern League Bedford Town for around...

  8. Ref Watch ...... Doncaster A

    In regular League games we have a slight edge over Doncaster with 13 wins to their 12 from 30 games. We haven't won there since 1989 though when a Dave Crown penalty was enough to secure the points. Man in charge is fourth year League referee, Darren Handley from Bolton who made it on to the...

    Team of Southend United "nice" people

    Reading the thread about Luke Prosser (injured again, poor chap) reminded me that not all our ex-players are people that you would ideally like to be sharing a seat with on a train. So how about a team of "nice" people. I've got Luke Prosser and Chris Powell in defence and David Crown up front...

    Squatters on Royal Terrace

    As most of you will know, the Royal Terrace is considered one of the jewels in the crown of Southend-on-Sea as a resort, its guest houses have long proved popular and we've promoted one on here in the past, as a Southend supporting owner. Recently, squatters moved into a vacant property that...

    Peterborough who went there the earliest?

    The similar thread on Swindon seemed to do well with nearly 70 replies although it did tend to degenerate into tales of violence towards the end, so here goes with Peterborough. Who went their earliest? I think I have a good shout here, Peterborough weren't elected to the League till 1960, and...

    David Crown

    David Crown missed the Shrewsbury game on Saturday because of an illness. (Perhaps he saw what was coming?) Get better soon David. The place is a lot duller without you about!

  16. Ref Watch ....... Doncaster A

    We have to go back more than 25 years for our last win at Doncaster in 1989/90 when a solitary David Crown penalty gave us three points to maintain our position at the top of Division Four on our way to eventual promotion. Colchester finished 24th that year and dropped out of the League...

    It would be churlish not to acknowledge Colchester United being awarded The Football League Family Club of the Year. An award to be proud of. Of course it should have read Small family club of the year but lets not begrudge them their one and only success this season. I suppose it must have been...

  20. Pathetic Shooting Practise At Training.

    Shooting practise with the forwards needs a total change in my opinion, and there currently should be more time spent on it. They are rolled a ball and they try and beat the keeper. Dave Penney normally does shooting practise. There is no instruction from a former deadly striker about balance...
