    Consortium ready to save Blues

    As mentioned in the other thread. Thought this was worthy of a new thread. Front page story today with the headline "We'll buy the Blues for £1...and pay off the debts" says group of local businessmen. Story reads... A consortium of wealthy businessmen want to save Southend United. The...

    Memory Lane Episode No 4 Season 1931-32

    In these days of doom and gloom perhaps it's better to look back than forward so here's the next episode in season 1931-32: Extracts from the "Forgotten Years of the Kursaal" by Peter William Baker Researched from the Southend Standard No. 4 TWO MORE AWAY WINS, FOUR OUT OF FOUR Southend...

    Why didnt Martin just admit there WAS a problem?

    I, as eveyone else is extremely worried about Wednesday. What I just don't get is, why Ron Martin kept denying there was a problem. If he had disclosed this information to the fans, especially during the period when Revell and Betsy were loaned out, us the fans, could and would have helped...

    Latest Rumours Is Ron Leaving/Selling?

    I've heard an odd rumour of a £5 buyout with all debts cleared, Stadium go-ahead and a multi million pound transfer kitty. Anyone heard anything similar?

    Concerned

    Obviously the apparent perilous financial state is concerning me, but I have started to get niggling doubts about matters of integrity since rm's last blog. we owed around 6M according to the last accounts and RM went public around 6 months ago with a comment along the lines that the 2.4...

    Just like watching Dream Team...

    ...Well thats how I feel with Southend United the past couple of years, each week is like a far fetched episode of the old Sky One football series Dream Team. Although at times, the fictional storylines of Harchester Utd actually seem more realistic than that our our club. I am not one to rant...

    ...of the decade

    I don't know if it's just me but over the past few days I've noticed different forms of media are gearing up for their "Votes of the decade". I'm not wanting to step on any of the owners/mods toes but I was wondering if this auspicious website was thinking of doing something similar, I know we...
  8. Surviving Scudamore

    When Richard Scudamore announced the new home-grown quota system that will come into place for the start of the 2010/11 campaign, you could almost hear the penny drop in boardrooms across the country. From August 2010, a Premier League club will have it's squad capped at 25 players, containing...
  9. Help please!

    Peeps, Me & the future Mrs C are coming down for the game on the 17th and are going out with mates in the evening. We were planning to go to the Chichester(?) but it's all booked up. Anyone know any similar venues in the area for drinks/food/boogie? Ta in advance.
  10. County's Web of Lies About to Unravell

    Just as the Notts County faithful were beginning to come to terms with their new found regality and success, it turns out Sol Campbell's departure might just be the tip of the iceberg that sinks them. Rumours are rife that the Football League aren't happy with the information disclosed by the...

    Brighton brawl

    Apologies if this is somewhere else or a similar thread has already been deleted, but the local rag down here in Brighton has 'rival football fans clash in street brawl' at the top of the front page tonight. The story itself on page 5 states; Football fans from opposing clubs hurled bottles at...
  12. Legalise drugs article.

    Taken from the New Scientist, fascinating article that I totally agree with. I know it's an age old topic on here but it's a slow day. Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. SO FAR this year, about 4000 people have died in...

    No Chance For Youth At The Top

    One week on from The Great Chelsea Punishment and still the sense of shock reverberates through the global game. A steady stream of similar accusations have trickled in through the front door of FIFA HQ with some of English football's proudest names implicated in the scandal. Poaching, it is...

    Writing a CV

    I seem to remember there was a similar thread a little while ago on here, but couldn't find it. I'm putting my CV together atm to send off to companies for a part time job while I'm in uni at Leicester. If anyone could message me with a format and vital (the most important parts employers...

    Players' contract lengths

    Don't know if this wants to be made a sticky at some point when all the info is in, then it can just be copied and pasted to update it whenever contracts are signed/extended or whatever. Seems to me we often have this question come up time and time again of when so and so's contract expires...

    The Hurt Locker

    Maybe should have put this in the film thread but would highly recommend this film. For those who liked Jarhead is quite similar. It's about a bomb disposal in the current war in Iraq, and a new team leader who is reckless. The film focuses on character relationships and the psychological...
  17. My take on Revell and Betsy and other things

    I know there are lots of other threads on this but here is my take on it. Revell: I am inclined to believe that he did possibly want out and may have had little future at the club. Bear in mind he wasn't in the starting eleven until very recently and these games may well have been last chance...

    Question Something I have never managed to get my head around

    Just a question, the last couple of years with relegation from the championship the accounts show losses of about £2.5m a year? During that time we have had a squad of around 18/19 players, and attendances averaging 8000. According to RM these players are on very good wages (even championship...
  19. The Mark of a ChampiYong

    Ok, Ok, I know this is late... But I was on my travels while this happened. While your reading this, there's no doubt in my mind that Tiger Woods is on a golf course somewhere, meticulously tinkering away with his swing and clubs, trying to identify just what went wrong at Hazeltine. After...
  20. Pre-Match Thread Swindon Preview

    Sorry if there is already one up but I couldn't see one. I expect a similar team to the team that went to Hull but with White returning to the starting XI. Mildenhall Francis -- Heath -- Barrett -- White Grant -- Macca -- JFC -- Moussa Barnard -- Revs Last Season's Result : Swindon 3-0...
