  2. The 'SAW' franchise

    As you may be aware, Saw VI was released yesterday and i was wondering the Zone's thoughts on this particular franchise? Gone too far? Or are they still brilliant? I loved 1 and 2, mainly because it was something we'd never seen before, and the twists at the end were jaw-dropping. Completely...
  3. When Genius Met Lunacy

    Referees Are Cowards

    Another year, another desperate attempt by the Football Association to regain some semblance of control over their sport. This week's announcement that managers will no longer be able to criticise referees before the game has even started is just the latest in a series of inadequate sticking...
  6. Unite!

    I think it is time that this constant disagreement between members on here concerning the tax issues came to an end. I understand that people are unhappy about the different way people have taken the news surrounding HMRC. However, at least for the time being, the situation has been resolved...

    The five year plan

    There generally seems to be an air of pesimism surrounding the club at the moment. Losing our POY and lack of signings have fueled. But as Ron as said, this is a long process. If we say that in 2 years we will have a new stadium, so 2 more years at Roots Hall (I don't know how far the new...

    Random Article on Youth Set up

    Was looking for something else and stumbled across this article on the youth set up in 2000. All sounds very similar to what we are hearing these days, with the 'Score' team sounding like the development deals we now have.....have things really changed that much?! Soccer: Babes to give...

    Chairman's Blog 12th May

    Chairman's Blog I believe I have now answered all those questions – either singularly or combined – that have been sent to the Club’s media department. There were one or two “stragglers” but these points were covered in earlier responses. I have yet to come to a...

  12. Rons Blog 07.04.09

    Firstly let me apologise for last week’s “void”. It was my intention to answer the questions raised over a period of two to three weeks and at the end of that period to review whether supporters generally thought it was a good idea to continue with a blog – be it weekly, fortnightly or not at...

I am told that some of the emails have been paraphrased but I am sure they include the gist. I...

    Memory Lane: Postponements

    Reading about the debacle of Tuesday's postponement and the uncertainty surrounding the Swindon game has reminded me of the awful feeling of arriving in a strange town after a long journey to be confronted with the grim news that the game you'd anticipated seeing is... off. I remember driving...
