The Future of ShrimperZone

[McScriven]

All,

I'm sure most of you will have worked out now by the cryptic messages left by Mike, Lee and Napper today that I have parted company with the ShrimperZone team (and the Shrimpers Trust).

As such Mike (Javea Shrimper), Lee (Leeboy) and Napster (Paul), will be taking over the running of ShrimperZone. I'm sure they will do an excellent job.

Not because of any falling outs but because I today have started work at our beloved Southend United. I've taken up the position as website manager and programme editor which means from a personal respect there would have been a conflict of interest (and I wouldn't have wanted to be doing what I do all day at work when I get home, I wonder if a porn star feels the same?).

Anyway, I hope that I can turn the official web site and programme into a success and something that you will all use as your first stop for info. I'll be hoping over the next few weeks to gather some of your ideas on what you'd like to see on your official site and in next seasons programme, and I hope you'll participate so we can improve things.

Anyway, I just like to say it's been great working on ShrimperZone for the last three years and I hope you guys won't give me too much abuse on here and on match days.

All the best,

Dave

Good Luck to you, Dave, and its been good reading ur posts and opinions on here.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

I'll second that, good luck Dave

Here's to you being able to do a 'promotion special' on the official site this time next year.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Yeah, best wishes and well done on getting such a gig.

Hope you'll still visit and post.

One idea: Give MtS a feature in the programme. That'll take up 50 pages... put in Tilly's bit... and Maher's... a few adverts... and there's your finished product!

[Barmy Army]

Great news. Great job to have, and the place that you love, wish you all the best.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Good luck, Dave - looks like we're about to get a top-flight website, to match our improving team. That's excellent news for you, us & the club; can't wait to see the finished article.

Matt

P.S. Still, talk about SZ being in bed with the club, eh...?

Only kidding fella - all the best in your new job. I hope your involvement will make the official site a more interesting place to visit on a bored moment in the office.

Best of luck with the new job, lets hope we can have a official site to be proud of.

 

[blues_r_best]

Good Luck Dave, hope you do improve the website (you can't do much worse) and earn a lot of money doing it.

Just one suggestion for the programme, can the masthead on the front cover have Southend United, emblazoned across the top. Lets be proud that Southend has a league football team.

You have only taken on the job so you can legitimately park your car in the car park every day.
Or is it so you can see the players in the bath after matches ?
Good luck bloke.

At least we know who to moan at when things aren't up to scratch now!

Seriously though, good luck with it. The Zone has become superb, so I'm sure the Official products will become the same. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the changes as they happen.

 

[The General]

Does that mean that the SZ Homepage will be updated a bit more then ...

Only kidding. This all started back in 2001 due to some knob-heads on Rivals and yourself and Mike have done a great job developing this site and have over 500 members!!

Here's to a better official site and a much better programme ...

Glad to see the back of you personally, this sites been rubbish since you took over from Mike.

P.S Give the Blue Belles one from me, in fact give it to them twice, bet they love it up 'em.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

That's great Dave, sounds like a dream job for you. We will be expecting a marked improvement soon then!
