Whats going to happen when a side like Wolves effectively bring enough people to the ground to fill it and turn it into their home game. Are people still going to bycotte it and hand considerable advantage to the opposition? What if by then we are in a real position to make the playoffs and get...

Walking away from Wembley I brought this massive sky blue teddy for my one year old son. A car full of yids crawled by in the traffic and one of them rolled down their window and said " are you gay?"..... I was just about to say, "No just very happy...how do you feel?" when I thought I might...

I don't live in the Cov area so my only form of information is this excellant forum, so what I don't understand is why do sisu still want the skyblues as they'l only be loosing more money next year and unless they invest which they clearly have no intention of doing , will never have aviable asset.

Agreed. The fact that Crewe scored so early turned the stadium into a morge after only 10 minutes too. Alsot many of the 31,000 Southend fans were probably watching the team for the first time didn't help matters either but certainly a full stadium would have inspired a few of them to open their...

What a lovely story. We could have done with her in the Southend end at wembley today. 30,000 shrimpers out sung and shouted by 10,000 Crewe.

Your not alone mate. I was born and raised in Essex. Have never been to Coventry other than to go to matches. Started following the Cov in the middle sixties when I fell in love with the kit. Have been supporting and following them ever since and brought up my eldest son who is now 27 to be, and...

What kit did they wear?

would so love us to get to wembley now more than ever as im sure that he'd still be here if he had the prize of leading a team out on the hallowed turf to look forward to. How is a new manager expected to motivate the players for the club when they see a man who they have obviously beleived in...

I wouldn't mind betting that the sponsors Johnstone paint are praying that we do it too, otherwise if Orient manage to over turn Southends 1.0 advantage then an Orient v Crewe final could bring about the lowest attendance for the final in the competions history and even put the future of the...

I remember driving through Norfolk a couple of years back after Norwich went up from the 1st div and they were having the very same debate on their local radio station, and I remember this prat of a presenter saying " well it is only promotion to the championship not the premiership where we...

I was lucky enough to have gone to Wembley in 87 but apart from that one of the most memorable was away to Wimbledon, Vinny Jones and all, when they were playing at Palace's ground. We were fighting to stay in the top flight on a beautiful sunny afternoon and I remember sitting on the grass...

This is bad news if true. We had him down at Southend a few years ago. A real Billy big bollocks who disrupts the dressing room and wont put in a full shift on the pitch. Not a patch on Mcgoldricks work rate but loads of skill if only his head was right.

I am neither a Portsmouth fan nor have a mental condition, and I have certificate to prove it! Quite how you derived the opinion that I was referring to you or your comment as being a 'knuckle head', and not the Sunderland post that hope we go out of business completely, is I'm afraid beyond me...

Well said, personally I would rather see us go down than stay up at the expense of a club going to the wall....even Sunderland.... as I'm sure the vast majority of their support don't reflect the views of the knuckle heads that wish our demise.

I never have nor ever will understand why a person feels the need to boo a player of the side he reports to support. If you like the guy then cheer, if you don't then stay quiet even if he scores, but to try to get under his skin effecting his performance and thus your team is at the very least...

I hate to rain on anybodies parade but its a lot harder to get out of any division than staying in one. To get out you need goal scorers from every area of the pitch and at least one striker scoring 20 plus for the season. The football is a lot more ugly and frantic and drags you down to its...

Ryan Hall won't be going anywhere in the short term. He owes Sturrock big time for sticking by him last year when he got in a bit of trouble with the law....and he knows it. Behond next season is another matter, if Southend get promoted which is looking likely then the buzzards will be circling...

I work in Basildon HH, driving for Argos. During the ninety's I worked in the city and was earning good money so I could afford to drive up to Cov on a regular basis. I used to do it in 2 hrs door to door, and my friends thought I was crazy , but I saw some cracking games and on our day we could...

Thanks for you great replies lads as I wasn't sure how split loyalties would go down on here. Following and supporting both Southend and the Cov I have come to appreciate similarities in both clubs. Both are broke and staring administration in the face every week. Cov sold their lovely...

I've been following, supporting (late 80's to late 90's) and now following again Cov for the last 43 years. My Dad first introduced me to the delights of football watching Southend United in the old division 4 around 1967 when I was about 10, but as all my peers who were either following Man U...
