Our website has been online for the last twelve years with no interruption and is part of Digital Sports Group, the oldest and largest football fans network on the internet, and we would be delighted to welcome all previous contributors and visitors to the site to join us here in what we hope will be one the most exciting seasons in the Shrimpers long history.
In October we had an amazing 50,399 hits, 30,300 of those unique user hits, with three article breaking a thousand.
They all had a Premiership connection sadly, a couple on Luke Daniels got the Baggies support excited, but the top story with 1,491 hits was from our very own Shrimpers Trust's match report for youth team defeat by QPR, written by S24 (TLG) ex-editor Rob Craven; ok, maybe some West Londoners' checking in!
However, many Southend stories alone got to the top of the table with Boli's non-signing, looks like the creepies may be interested, anything to do with Blues boss Paul Sturrock, and the good old FA Cup Draw, were all well read.
On the ex-United front, the Tilly and Brush sacked story and Freddy being asked to look elsewhere by the Sky Blues were both top 20.
So if you're reading us, why not join us as well!
