    St Angell's Day

    25 years ago today, Southend 1 Wet Spam 0 :smile: A great night and a great following day in an office full of Hammers.
  2. Ref Watch ...... Blackburn A

    Last time tomorrow's referee was appointed to a Southend game, just 8 weeks ago, we were looking forward slightly apprehensively to facing the division's leading team. That worked out rather well. Once again he takes charge of our match against the top of the league team. However, as this one...

    Pre-Match Thread Blackburn Rovers V Southend United

    Big game again this weekend with Rovers likely to be as "up" for it and as quick out of the blocks as Plymouth. Ewood Park ought to have a good playing surface and dealt with all the rain Up North. I do not know of any fresh injury concerns so I expect SCP to send out the same starting 11 as...

The 18 year old, who has shone for the Shrimpers this season. has been shortlisted alongside Peterborough United's Lewis Freestone and AFC Wimbledon's Anthony Hartigan. The...
  5. Sums paid to Agents and intermediaries

    CP has tweeted details of sums paid in Div 1 and Blues are fourth highest @226k behind Blackburn, Wigan and Charlton. Interesting to see the huge disparity in sums paid. Good value for money for our opponents on Saturday?

    Supporters Group News April Meeting and update

    We last met in January - just before the Fleetwood game. There was a lot of talk about the then predicament we were in. Things have clearly moved on since then. The main highlights.... Someone was found with a pyro earlier in the season. He isn't currently coming to football, and it seems his...

    Best currently at the club?

    Best Header Interesting for me to see the two people I rate as the best headers of the ball at our club score with their heads this weekend. Turner's goal was a peach. Unmarked as he may have been, that was a great connection and a beautifully placed finish right past the keeper. Didn't need...
  8. Memory Lane 120 years ago today .....

    David Jack was born. Probably nearly as famous for scoring the first FA Cup Final goal at Wembley (dribbling round Billie, the white horse and slotting home) as he was for managing us for 6 years! He'd lived in the town and went to school at Hamlet Court whilst his father was the first Southend...

    Southend Council

    Can someone please tell me why the Council decided to seemingly try and turn everyone away yesterday with this bike event? The high street is on its knees and the seafront traders rely on the money they make in the summer months and weekend to keep them going through the year. So why are the...

    Who says season is over ??

    Most of us would have taken a point at Plymouth and the same at Blackburn. But what if, after yesterday's rousing performance, we could somehow magic 3 points at Blackburn? Here's a summary of the key remaining fixtures of the main contenders for the last two play-off places - against each...

  16. Memory Lane 58 years ago today April 2nd 1960.

    At about 2.10 I walked with my dad to the bus stop on theno.8 route outside Ayres grocers shop in Rectory Road, Hawkwell, to catch the2.20 bus to Southend. In those days the bus got to Priory Park by just before2.40; there was no bypass in Rochford, not even a one-way system - the buseswent both...
  17. Dru Yearwood Sale (Poor attempt at humour)

    Heard that a deal has been agreed this weekend to sell Dru at the end of the season to an undisclosed non uk team.
  18. Ref Watch ..... Gillingham H

    It's 10 matches since we beat Gillingham anywhere and that was the match when a late Mark Phillips goal gave the 10-man Blues (Mohsni had left early!) a solitary goal victory. Friday's referee came from Salisbury - tomorrow's is named Salisbury.The man in charge of the Easter Monday fixture is...
