The lifeblood of ShrimperZone has always been debate. For the most part, it's limited to shorter responses ranging between a few words and a few paragraphs - generally a more conversational approach.
Occasionally though, we do see different Zoners going in deeper, putting together a longer post with a bit more detail, sharing some passion or other that they have, and posting some generally excellent stuff. It could be about the club generally, new signings, different tactics, great moments in the past, a view on the future, up-to-date statistics, the upcoming match, the laws of the game and how they impact our club, the ins and outs of supporting Southend United, the youth team and development of our younger players, the management team and their approach, etc., etc., etc.
One great ongoing example is the weekly official-match thread contribution from The Big Dady which I know gives a lot of insight to a lot of its readers. Likewise, the weekly Ref Watch from Mick.
As a League One club, something we've always lacked is a wider offering of articles that have Southend United at their heart. So while this may or may not work out or catch on, I'd like to tap into some of the talent and expertise we have on this forum and explore it for the Zone.
How do YOU feel about writing for the Zone, putting together more detailed (even regular) features, and sharing it with your fellow posters and our regular non-posting readers?
If you do fancy getting involved, then please just jump right in and post your article in the relevant forum. If you've got an idea, but you're not overly sure about it, then do drop me or any of the other owners or mods a PM?
