  1. Greetings from Bratfud

    Hi there. I'm an Essex native - born at Orsett Hospital and lived in Grays - who went to Bradford University, aged 24, in 1980 and never came back. I actively followed West Ham through the 70s and I'm still an armchair Hammer, so I guess I'm due some stick on this board from more than one...
  2. SUFC dreams

    Last night I dreamt we were 3-0 up a half time v Sheffield United in the semi final of the FA Cup with Aston Villa awaiting in the final. Even though we were at Wembley, I couldn't find my seat to see the match. :sad: Any tales? (and please no naughty ones involving Kevin Maher and a vat of...
  3. Blues fans shun FA Cup

    The Times produced a League table yesterday, based on crowd attendances and the number of changes made to the starting XI, re FA Cup games played over the last 10 years. Out of the 106 clubs featured, we were ranked 43th overall. We were 63rd when it came to attendances - our average FA Cup...
  4. Dare to dream ?

    I'm a huge fan of the FA Cup, always have been, always will be. There was a tie today that really got me, Portsmouth (recently Prem) v AFC Bournemouth (recently League 2).....kind of gets you thinking.

    Derby v Southend 1976

    Hi, a request if I may to help with something I am writing Who was the Derby player that brought down one of our players when clear on goal in the 1976 FA Cup tie at the Baseball ground? I think it was Roy MacFarland, tho it might have been Colin Todd or Bruce Rioch. And was our player Stuart...

    Could Southend United be owned by a Supporters Trust ?

    I noticed when Exeter City were on TV in the FA Cup recently, they stated the club was now owned by the supporters trust. As many people are worried about our finances and the lack of detail from RM regarding FF, is that something we could achieve for SUFC ? (or am I just dreaming ?)

    Programmes Wanted

    A non SZ friend of mine (Not sure what is worse, not being on SZ or being a friend of mine!) is nearing the end of his collection of SUFC programmes home and away and wonders if anyone has and is willing to sell/give away any of the following. Some are extremely old. Please contact me and I'll...

    Boring stat alert

    This was the first time as a manager that a Phil Brown team has scored 5 goals away from home. In fact, as a manager his teams have only scored 5 goals twice before; once as a Derby manager when they beat a very poor Crewe in the Championship 5-1. This was just before Derby lost 6-1 at Coventry...

    Pre-Match Thread v Blackpool Saturday 21 November

    A minimum 6-0 home win should be the target. Blackpool are in dire straits on and off the pitch. I had the misfortune of seeing them get knocked out of the FA Cup at Barnet the other week (doing the 92 thing) - Barnet were poor but Blackpool were woeful. Hardly any shots on goal, passing...

    Question Should we rearrange game for 5th December?

    As the Crewe home game is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday 1st March 2016 and they are also out of the FA Cup, wouldn't it make sense to rearrange our game with them to a Saturday as undoubtedly they will bring more supporters on a Saturday rather than a Tuesday night? Or will have I have...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Scunthorpe United 2-1 Southend United

    Scunthorpe United 2 Southend United 1 Don't have much luck in the FA Cup do we? More injuries, PB sent to the stands, a bad day at the office I think.

    The FA Cup Final

    What a load of horse**** compared to last week. That's the drama people want. Not some **** wideboy and his team of hardly deserving prem players barely turning out. We showed the magic of the cup. Imagine that in an FA Cup final, they'd be showing it for years to come. LEAGUE ONE YOU...

  18. Fans that will be at Wembley in spirit

    With one of the biggest games in a history coming up its also a time to remember those fans who are no longer with us who would have been at Wembley on Saturday. My good friend Mark Kohlbeck who was a season ticket holder for many years died in October last year and most certainly would have...
