    The 1953 Floods

    I hope the following is of some interest, on a Saturday afternoon in 1953 Southend United played a poor game of football, the crowd had a good old moan and then went home totally unaware of the disaster that would hit locally in a few hours time. Saturday 31st January 1953 Southend United 1-0...

    RIP - Fred Titmus

    Sadly former England & Middlesex all rounder Fred Titmus has passed away aged 78. He was an England regular in the 60's & 70's, and IIRC he opened the innings on a few occasions, when his normal position would have been number 8 or 9. He also lost 4 toes in a boating accident on an England tour...

  3. Odd Phrases Under Usernames

    On occasions, mainly when the forum is loading slowly/incrementally depending on what I'm doing, I'll see odd phrases or tags underneath usernames, very similar to the Custom User Title. They appear for about 15/20 seconds, then disappear. Cricko's one mentions something about being as Divine as...

    Roots Hall Pitch

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the pitch at RH is probably in the worst condition that I can remember in a long time. I'm presuming that its like it is because of TefRons cost cutting exercise, but it could come back to haunt us, if we miss out on promotion/play offs. On at...

I've been on the show three times and had a go at their celebrity-lap challenge, and I would love to...
