    Academy Schools

    Does anyone on here have some knowledge on Academy school's? I ask because in a certain Academies case I find the whole set-up a bit worrying. In question for me is The Basildon Academies. I have a daughter at the lower site since September 2011 and my dealings with it have led me to go as far...
  2. Ref Watch ........ JPT Orient (H)

    The referee for tonight's big match will be Andy Woolmer from Northampton. He is a very short referee with even shorter hair and, as shorter officials sometimes do, he has the capacity to be slightly officious. He is in his 9th year as a League referee and has refereed Southend on very many...

    Wembley - Just a day out?

    Is the thought of Wembley considered just a day out, or more important to you than that? For me its the one sporting dream that remains in my catalogue. I have done FA cup Finals, Ive been to the Wrold Cup, attended many England games at the new and old stadium, Ive seen Essex in Lords finals...

  5. Ref Watch ........ Gillingham home

    Our first referee of 2013 will be Andy Woolmer from Northampton. He is a very short referee with even shorter hair and, as shorter officials sometimes do, he has the capacity to be slightly officious or worse. He is in his 9th year as a League referee and has refereed Southend on very many...
  6. A settled eleven

    We've just gone 4 games with the same starting eleven, and when did THAT last happen? It was quite common last season to have four changes from one game to the next, with 5 changes on three occasions, and I don't think we ever fielded the same eleven more than twice running. Isn't it great...
  7. Vodafone

    Found this on another forum, had me in stitches! Dear All I thought I would share my ongoing, and unresolved, problems with Vodafone in case anyone had never used their crummy tax-avoiding service before. In summary, I have spoken to a total of 14 (forteen) different customer services...

    State Of Origin

    For the League fans on here, tonight (tomorrow morning) is Game 1 of this years State Of Origin between Queensland and New South Wales. Don't worry, I've not turned into an egg chaser but these matches are great occasions and really tough encounters. Worth a look if you get the chance.

    How and where will Luggy play Freddy?

    Paul has said on many occasions that his style of play is to use his front men as playmakers and, for me, it's one of the reasons our goals tend to be spread around the team. It'll be interesting then to see where people think Freddy's best position will be in THIS team, and whether or not we...

He is a very short referee with even shorter hair and, as shorter officials sometimes do, he has the capacity to be slightly officious or worse.

    My dear chap, if indeed you are PS or one of his stalwarts, I do hope you get a chance to read this. Of course your true identity may come in an anagram of your name ( one clue I RM ). If this is true I still hope you get to read this! I have heard so much about 'confidence players' blaah blaah...

    Luke Daniels

    I don't want this to sound like a thread to knock Luke Daniels but something about him is really beginning to annoy me.He is a fantastic shot stopper no doubt about that but why oh why can he not control the six yard box..He remains glued to his line whether it be from a corner, cross or free...
  13. Ref Watch .... FA Cup .... A Miller's Tale

    Man in charge tomorrow is experienced official, Nigel Miller from Durham. This is his ninth season as a League referee and this will be his seventh Southend match and his sixth Southend away game. We haven't actually won any of his away matches although we nearly did at Luton, on TV, when...

    Tickets for Bristol Rovers

    Oxford was my first game this season and as a season ticket holder until last season I feel deeply ashamed at this! But on two occasions over the last couple of weeks I've tried to buy tickets for the Bristol Rovers game on 26 November, only to be told by staff at the ticket office that they are...

    Absence of Away Kit?

    It has come to my attention that we don't seem to be playing in the Cherry Voltage away Kit much these days, in fact all of the last away games we have worn blue and maybe blue shorts instead of white on most occasions. Is it because the kit clashes with the teams we have played or do the...

    Renewing blues player subscription

    Can anyone give me advice on a problem with renewing BP subscription? I have tried to pay a couple of times from France with a Visa card. On both occasions the transaction has frozen on a blank screen from netbanx stating that they were "Proceeding to authorise your...
  19. Southend Fans????

    Don't really know if this deserves it's own thread cos i've noticed it mentioned it others. The pure reason i've put the question marks after the 'fans' is because today in the west stand, it took 6 minutes (yes i know i was sad enough to look :smile:) before someone found their new "boo-boy"...

    Question Why don't Sammy and Elvis travel?

    Just happened to click on the Col Ewe half-time vid from a couple of seasons back. Bar trips to Ewe I cannot recall other occasions when our mascots have been at away games, (reckon they are just part-timers). We sometimes see it with other clubs at Roots and personally I think it always adds...
