    Programme Collecting

    Most of you know me now as the "pre-travel assisting" Southend fan, but I am also an avid collector of football programmes, any team, any game (except maybe Colchester!). I have a few Spurs programmes from earlier this season via a friend though; not post! Was wondering if anyone on here is...

    Play Offs

    After that penalty miss I thought we'd go on to lose and face another season in League Two...it was harder for Barry Corr to hit the bar than score, to be honest! With regards to the ground, absolutely nothing. They aid last year that they expect foundations to be laid and building to start...

    Play Offs

    It would appear I am also liked around these parts too! For the record, Pigott joined Luton today...

    Play Offs

    I assume your season long loanees could play. We signed Joe Pigott in Jan 2015 until the end of the season on loan from Charlton. We then managed to extend his loan for the play-off campaign, (in which, he scored the last minute equaliser v Wycombe at Wembley). So if it applies to half season...

    Credit

    Credit to you, the fans on Saturday. Best thing about Coventry on the day. I, probably like you, was expecting a much more even game. If I had to pick, I'd say Joe Cole was your best player. Best of luck for the rest of the season, keep travelling in those numbers! You'll still get play-offs...

    Twist and Shout

    That lot are always poor at home games. To be fair our version of Twist & Shout was much better at your place back in August

    Match Preview Article

    **UPDATE** :facepalm:- Firstly, thank you for your help! As it stands, I won't be able to post the preview as the person who runs the site hasn't got back to me about it. There is normally a space on the site on Thursdays/Fridays. Hopefully I've heard back from them by my lunch break...

    Match Preview Article

    All, As well as helping opposition fans such as your good selves ahead of the matches, I also write match previews for https://www.leigh-on-sea.com/ If possible, I'll need one or two (or however many!) to answer a set of questions which will be included in the preview. I will then post a link...

    Southend away tickets

    I'm not sure if you'll have the corner or not. Last home game, the corner seating was covered by tarpaulin stuff. If you can, sit there for the best view. I don't think there are any beams blocking the view.

    Worst ever decision by a referee?

    The ref we had on Saturday. Worst decision? Agreeing with the linesman in awarding Peterborough a last minute penalty, even after he saw the linesman signal for a throw, a corner a goal kick and a substitution in quick succession.

    Southend away tickets

    Again, because you'll sell out, I'm guessing our ticket office have just sent you tickets for the whole north bank. Meaning your ticket office are just seeing the amount you want, grabbing the right amount and sending them regardless of view, etc.
