    Former player Frank Dudley has passed away. :sad:
  3. Ref Watch ..... Bristol Rovers.

    Freddy Eastwood's last game in a Southend shirt in Bristol went rather well; a repeat tomorrow would be good. The man in charge is first year referee Carl Berry from Cheam in Surrey. He has refereed Southend just once before, the season opener and customary win against Hereford at home. He...

    Pub Name Changes

    I took a phone call this morning from a bloke in the Black Country which then set me off boring my workmates with long gone stories and in particular one of a pub in Dudley. It had the very descriptive name of the “Tipton Slasher” named after a prize fighter, the name of this pub...
  5. Ref Watch ..... Easter Monday

    The referee for tomorrow's "dead" match and our fourth against Macclesfield this season, will be first year referee Brendan Malone from Salisbury refereeing his third Southend match. He was a late replacement for the Gillingham home game this season (2-2, 5 yellows, 4 theirs, 1 ours), having...
  6. Ref Watch .... Wolves away

    We have the normally decent referee Colin Webster from Tyne and Wear in charge of tomorrow's match. He is a Chartered Surveyor with an interest in property development; perhaps Ronald and he could have a bit of a chat before the match and he could tell Ron where he is going wrong. In his 10th...

    Question Relive the best week of your life again

    If you had the opportunity to relive a week from your past what week would it be and why. When asked, I considered many options including the week my son was born, the week I got married, various Southend United experiences from Benji at Bury to Man U and Chelsea. But for some reason I...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 1

    Cast your mind back almost ten years; could you honestly see us reaching this pivotal moment in the history of Southend United? Back in 1998 the football club was skint; it couldn't pay its players, it couldn't pay its creditors, it couldn't pay the Inland Revenue; the future was so bleak that...
