    Sorry to be the bearer of bad, bad news. Our summer will be spent discussing something else other than the new kit. I am not sure how to break this to you, especially to our ertstwhile friend Mr Stevart, but.... all indications are that next season's kit will be worn when we play Bristol...

    Junior Blues News Meet the Players Day - Tuesday, 10th April

    Another hugely successful MTPD at Roots Hall this morning. 80 Junior Blues - and their parents and grandparents - had a really good morning with the team at Roots Hall. This was our first event with Chris Powell in charge and I have to say, it was quite different to previous times. Phil's...

    Set Pieces

    Interesting piece from Tim Wigmore on how set piece training is undervalued. It also included a link to this brilliant piece on Sheffield Utd's set pieces With Turner our only real target from set pieces, I'd love us to try and work on some of these moves - both the short free-kicks - that...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Southend United

    It sounded like we deserved a point at least today and all the players gave 100%. SCP seemed to set the team up well throughout the game. We had them on the rack for most of the second half, but a 1-0 loss is no bad thing against the league leaders. A few months back we would of got stuffed.

  10. Ref Watch ...... Blackburn A

    Last time tomorrow's referee was appointed to a Southend game, just 8 weeks ago, we were looking forward slightly apprehensively to facing the division's leading team. That worked out rather well. Once again he takes charge of our match against the top of the league team. However, as this one...

    Pre-Match Thread Blackburn Rovers V Southend United

    Big game again this weekend with Rovers likely to be as "up" for it and as quick out of the blocks as Plymouth. Ewood Park ought to have a good playing surface and dealt with all the rain Up North. I do not know of any fresh injury concerns so I expect SCP to send out the same starting 11 as...

  13. Sums paid to Agents and intermediaries

    CP has tweeted details of sums paid in Div 1 and Blues are fourth highest @226k behind Blackburn, Wigan and Charlton. Interesting to see the huge disparity in sums paid. Good value for money for our opponents on Saturday?

    Supporters Group News April Meeting and update

    We last met in January - just before the Fleetwood game. There was a lot of talk about the then predicament we were in. Things have clearly moved on since then. The main highlights.... Someone was found with a pyro earlier in the season. He isn't currently coming to football, and it seems his...

    Best currently at the club?

    Best Header Interesting for me to see the two people I rate as the best headers of the ball at our club score with their heads this weekend. Turner's goal was a peach. Unmarked as he may have been, that was a great connection and a beautifully placed finish right past the keeper. Didn't need...

    Who says season is over ??

    Most of us would have taken a point at Plymouth and the same at Blackburn. But what if, after yesterday's rousing performance, we could somehow magic 3 points at Blackburn? Here's a summary of the key remaining fixtures of the main contenders for the last two play-off places - against each...

In those days the bus got to Priory Park by just before2.40; there was no bypass in Rochford, not even a one-way system - the buseswent both...
