    Nice bit of history. Martin Dawn plc take over 13th - 28th May Southend have been taken over by Martin Dawn plc after talks with Vic Jobson according to BBC Essex. John Main is our new chairman. Adams is the new Director of Football Development. Mr. Main grew up in the East End of London and...

    The cynic in me

    As we as a club descend into the depths of the footballing basement, I can't help thinking this is all part of a bigger plan. There is a clause/covenant in the deeds of Roots Hall that state Southend United Football Club have to be playing at a new site before a development can happen at our...

    Question Powercut

    Anyone else in the Eastwood area have a powercut. There was a massive bang about 3:10pm this afternoon and all the electric went. Thought one of my kids had tripped a fuse, but all the neighbours came out of their houses saying they heard the big bang as well. Phoned EDF and they said they were...

    BOGMISH 1:5 Clinching the title v winning the play-offs

    Our 5th tie of the first round is a real heavyweight affair. I probably should have left it until after a defeat to cheer us all up, because these two games can't help but make you grin. In the home corner we have Ayrshire Blue's nomination of probably the greatest ever scuffed shot: Wayne...

    BOGMISH Rd 1:2 - Stockport v Freddy's debut

    Aptly enough on the day after relegation back to the fourth division, our second first round tie throws up two 4th division promotion seasons. The first one, was the 1986/87 season and ORM's nomination of Stockport away. Football was having a bad time with the Bradford Fire disaster and Hysel...

    Being patriotic doesn't make you a fascist

    An interesting read, especially considering some of our recent discussion and debates on here. I'm a firm believer in this idea, and thank you Mr Billy Bragg for writing about it in this morning's Telegraph. ----------- A poll published this week suggested that the English were the least...
  8. Blocked Drains

    Every year or sometimes twice or maybe three times a year, i have to get the drain rods out and unblock our main ones. Now what really gets my goat doing this, well apart from the obvious smell and general literal **** you have to deal with, is this. It is not my drains that are blocked!! In a...

    Are some people so thick?

    Every week we now get the usual "Ron must go" type thread. When will people understand? WE CAN'T GET RID OF HIM. HE OWNS THE CLUB. IT'S HIS. HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. None of this has anything to do with the fact that he is or isn't doing a good job, does or doesn't tell us the truth, has...

    Nothing To Love At City Either

    I was delighted to see Manchester City lose this weekend. How appalling is that? It made me feel dirty. It is a truly sad man who takes pleasure in the misfortune of others, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to feel anything other than contempt for Roberto Mancini's men. They were well...
  14. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 2 (2005-2009)

    1st April 2005: Southend United 2 – 0 Bristol Rovers (League Two) The second half of the decade began with our beloved Shrimpers surging up the league on the back of a series of virtuoso performances from new signing Freddy Eastwood. From the second week of January we went on a long unbeaten run...

    Malone loan up?

    The Beeb is reporting that Malone's loan hasn't been extended yet. Anyone know whether this has gone through yet and any ideas as to what we'd do without him? I think he'd be a big miss, he's got a little bit of extra class about him. I suppose the alternative would be Barrett at left-back...

    Slithering To The Brink

    The swelling band of English football clubs in crisis has a new member and it's my own team, Southend United. Late on Monday night, Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HRMC) cancelled a planned Winding Up Petition and elected to pursue an Administration instead. Put simply, the club were flicked...

    Question My mates dilema.

    As you get older its get harder and harder to get all your mates out for a beer. We normally get together once every two weeks nowadays on a Friday night for a few beers and a chat. However I am lucky as I get to see all my mates on a Wednesday night when we play football in a mates kick about...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...
