As long as the football isn't Westley like then fine. The issue with Chesterfield will remain them leaving a classic old football ground to go to a lego set. Don't forget about Westley though the *alleged* stealing of Farnborough FC money. He's just cleverer than Evans.

So as Evil Bosses go, just how Evil is this Rowe at Chesterfield? This is the guy who was at Gloucester? I need some kind of comparison, is he at Steve Evans level?

First thing I'll talk about was the atmosphere, absolutely fucking superb. Best away atmosphere for years, non stop singing, however if you're taking numbers there good luck, was a shambles, more of that later. The game - Kings Lynn got well and truly Phil Browned. It's like he's never been...

Why on earth did Wealdstone FC agree for Southend United to sell the tickets. You won't have that money for a while. The past 3 seasons I have had such issues with Southend and my away tickets. I don't live in Southend and either get them posted to me (or not, numerous times) or pick them up at...

Apparently he has agreed to join us, but we've got to get Akinola off the books. Still can't see it personally after he rejected joining us in January.

As others have said can't disagree with what's been said about my team. Only thing I'd question is Phil Brown going, can only see it if another team comes in for him or we're so bad we're below Dover come Xmas. Ron loves the man, last time round he'd lost the dressing room a good 4-5 months...

We have spent the past 2 full seasons being so abject that I'll frankly take anything at this point! No idea how we'll be at set pieces, can only go vaguely on previous Phil Brown ball - which if he stays on point will mean a centre midfielder playing on either left or right wing, playing to...

Really looking forward to Saturday, proper away day for the first time in near on 18 months. I've no idea what to expect from Southend football wise be nice to actually see a committed half decent performance regardless of the result.

we're looking for a new rival now we're down here. Looked locally and found the likes of Bromley and Borehamwood don't actually have any fans, Dagenham have always felt like a little brother we just want to pat on the head and Leo Roget smashing up Barnet's stereo too tenuous a link to start a...

Paid £26 for me and 1 kid to go to Kings Lynn (would have been £31 in the seats), if that doesn't tell you football in this country is fucked nothing will. Still I'm part of the problem cos I was happy to pay it! Just to add to this, our first bit of tinpottery encountered - Kings Lynn said the...

He trained with the club for about two weeks then was offered nothing, Phil obviously didn't like what he saw. Wish the majority of our own fans would realise this. Massively different times, under an owner who may as well have been a different person. Looking back his first 7 years in charge...

As said, he is definitely not a scapegoat. 99% of our fans want him to stay due to his previous record in this division, but he was as bad as everyone else last season. Not just a bit crap, biblically shit, he like everyone that has come into contact with the club over the past 3 years has just...

Holmes is here cos he's a Southend fan. I'm torn with him, watching him his set pieces, ball delivery and passing are just a class apart but he can barely move and I think we'd be lucky to get half hour out of him in a game if we play him in a midfield or wide role. Maybe as a second striker he...

He's clearly fallen out with Akinola at some point. I would have given him a go, just based on his previous record at this level, but having watched him last season, where his end product was atrocious (and I'm being kind there) for me personally I'm not fussed that he's off. Apparently we're...

Not a lot to see here really, 80% or so of that debt is owed to the owners various companies. The one I want to see is the next year, where the mysterious wiping off of around £10M worth of that debt took place, including paying in full the Sainsburys loan and paying off all bank overdrafts.

I went to Dartford 2-2 Southend today, quite an entertaining game. We put out a very young side for the first 60 minutes or so, 5 youth team players, 4 of which have never been in the first team squad. One of them, O'Shane Stewart, was just about the best player on the pitch, really took control...

First phase is 14,000. Another reason, if it even gets built, I can see it remaining 3 sided, just like Oxford. I agree with you though, we don't need 21,000 as a final stadium, certainly not at our current level. We only need something bigger than Roots Hall if we can actually sustain second...

I predict you are correct. Let's not also forget that the current plans show a 3 sided monstrosity, without the main stand! The stand that will have all the non-football revenue streams. So if the pipe dream ever comes off we're going from a falling down shithole that in no way brings in income...

it's okay, don't mind the actual shirt, but what is the badge about, looks like someone found a load of 2002 club crest fabric badges in a store cupboard and said to Macron - here you go, just sew a few of these on a template kit.

It's more the culture at the club and Phil Brown saying he'll rip up contracts and then basically hasn't done anything of the sort, loads of the problems remain, our owner remains. With him we have a perpetual cycle of shit, we may well do alright this season (I think we'll come about 9th, never...
