    Recommend one film...

    Just one. Not two. And certainly not three. If someone has already recommended your must-see example of celluloid perfection, then put your name to another one. I'm going to kick-off with the masterpiece that is Shawshank Redemption. Surely one of the greatest films of all time.

    Worth checking out?

    Jon Main, of Tonbridge - his agent, Mikkel Beck, formerly of Middlesborough, is touting him to Championship sides, and he has been on trial with Wolves and Norwich. He is on 30-odd goals for the season with about 7 games left. This, from my local rag... The future of Tonbridge Angels hot-shot...

    Stadium application - planners recommendation

    I know this has been briefly mentioned in other threads but I thought it should be subject of a seperate thread. The Southend Council planning officers report is now on the Council website (via the Council & Democracy section, agenda & minutes, development control commitee 24/1)...
  4. Billy Paynter

    I watched Paynter in the reserves and I have to say that he was crap. Poor touch, can't shoot, he looks a non-league player at best. Why did we pay so much for him? Hull must be laughing their socks off. No doubt someone went to watch him play before an offer was made - or did they? How are...
  5. where do you go swimming?

    Warrior Square - nice diving pool, good nostalgia value, often cold though and changing rooms smell. Clements Hall - slow tw&ts in the lanes, nice steam, sauna and jacuzzi included in the price, long queues to get in sometimes and they answer the bloody phones in the middle of serving you...

    Battrick Advise

    a few questions, but first ill explain my situation first. Im just about to start my 4th season in tier 5, and unless the team that gets relegated to my division is strong, will probably whoop everyone this season and get promoted. I have 600k in the bank, and intend to save this season so i...
  7. Disabled Supporters Club Response

    “The Club has not had reason recently to become involved in the message board but the messages over the last few days concerning disabled supporters have prompted the Club to make the following known. During last season demand from the disabled for seats in the ground was at an all time high...
  8. Curb Your Enthusiasm

    Anyone seen this? Its the Larry David sit-com and its absolutely amazing. The funniest thing I've seen since Partridge. I think you can pick each season up on Play.com for about 12 quid and its worth every penny. Highly recommended. Unless you're easily offended by the occasional bit...
  9. "The Champions-elect...."

    Another Yeovil viewpoint this time from The excellent Ciderspace. Highly recommended read, a comprehensive and insightful report. My favourite quote:
  10. Album of the year...

    "Return to the Sea" by Islands - if you like well crafted, inventive, slightly quirky indie then you need this album. It's a slice of modern, skewed-pop genius and is highly recommended to fans of Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah etc. I'm...

    A few questions!

    I'm looking at going to my first Essex game next Sunday in the last One Day game against Worcestershire. It's taken a long while to get round to getting to one! I've a few questions of course: What's the ticketing situation? Do you just buy a ticket and wander around when...
  12. New loan signing?

    Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I noticed on the Reading site that we're apparently taking on Darren Campbell for a trial with the view to signing him on loan. Don't know much about him but apparently he's a young winger. I wonder if this is someone that 'the...

    Suggested tactics

    This Sunday I'm up against a reasonably tough opponent that plays 4-4-2 pressing and last week gained a creditable 0-0 draw with a very strong team despite only 25% possession in the first half and 10% in the second. I'm normally 5-4-1 pressing. I'm curious as to whether 5-4-1 AIM...

    Worst SUFC Div 3 Team Seasons (97-05)

    This subject came up between myself and Proud Shrimper aka Slackman a couple of months ago. The conversation about bad footballers came up as funnily enough a team called Chester who claimed to be a football side were playing us. Who would you list as your worst all time div 3 XI That be from...
  17. Camping in...

    Any recommended campsites on the Brittany coast (or near it)?

    I've just got back from the game

    Just gonna put some reflections on the game/day out: -> I couldn't persuade anyone to go so I knew it could get a bit hairy. Didn't help that every train I went on stopped sporadically and became late, not to mention them cancelling my train from New Street. -> The directions to the ground I...

    Carling Festival

    Just got back from a great weekend... Saturday, me and my girlfriend went to the Leeds festival. Nobody on we really wanted to see badly, but GLC, Ash, Hives, Darkness and Offspring would all be a decent watch. GLC were opening and on at 12... We left the hotel in Castleford at 1030 for the 30...
