Sorry to disappoint but I am afraid this is not a post to announce that Jabo's signed for next season. The close season hell of waiting to see which of our better players get picked off by richer clubs whilst hoping that Joe Dunne can come up with some inspired last minute signings has only just got underway. Let's hope others don't see in Jabo what we have grown to love this season.
The purpose of this posting is to tell you the waiting for the new Colchester United fanzine The Mighty U's is over. At the time of the launch a number of you asked is it available on Android as well as Apple devices and the answer is IT IS NOW!
So for those that haven't joined the small but steadily growing band of regular readers what's it all about? As the name suggests it's a magazine for people obsessed with Colcheter United. Imagine the back pages of the national newspapers but but instead of page after page about the corporate brands such as Manchester United and Chelsea it is dominated by our own Mighty U's!
The fanzine is accessed via the Flipboard app which works on all Apple and Android tablets and phones. It allows you to produce a pretty good looking magazine drawing from all the material which is out there on the web. The Mighty U's draws in all the best U's news, blogs and tweets. In the new season I plan to add my own blogs and I would be interested to hear from others who might want to contribute. Away coverage anybody?
The Mighty U's does not stop at Colchester United - although the U's dominate - it also contains some of the more interesting football coverage from the Web. Rest assured though the coverage of the Premiership is minimal. Fergie's retirement was only covered by a few tweets from the Col U players. What you are more likely to come across is stuff about fan involvement, safe standing, the economics of football and driving bigotry out of the game (yes you Di Canio!).
Have I wetted your appetite? If I have you can either down load the Flipboard app and search for The Mighty U's or it is probably easiest to click here and follow the instructions. Check out The Mighty U's http://flip.it/CjK4g
If you like what you see please use the share button on the front page which will allow you to send it to your mates. I would also be interested to hear
I hope you enjoy it!

I'd usually think of spam as a false site seeking to promote advertising not originating from a real fan. Not the case here I can assure you.
I would also take a dim view of sites based on automatice feeds. In my case all the posts are articles from the web that I have look at myself.
If you search for football on Flipboard you'll find she'd loads of mags created by fans.
What the mag is doing is what it says in the article and in the new season I'll be putting my own blogs into it. Don't see The Mighty U's in competition with the relatively small number of Colchester blogs and message boards. I googled West Ham in advance of the friendly and they have shed loads. My view is that is a good thing and must help engage more fans a thing we desparately need in Colchester.
I suppose the test is do you find the mag a good read. Feedback on other message boards suggest at least some definitely do. Check it out and decide for yourself. | | | |

Howdo Bryn, downloaded the app and looks pretty good, so I'll stick with it for now - may well be able to provide some material occasionally, but The U'sual will always have first refusal. |  |

And how about you, in that case, involve youself with tidbits and such here on the original ColU site?
The writing, reports, etc. here are the best you'll find. | |

Sure - will do in the new season. I certainly will not be doing match coverage though. Noah's are excellent so I think he's got that role sewn up. | | | |

That role is blanketed by a number of folks. Just plum brilliant reporting over the weeks. Look across the season. But thanks for your input on the other thread. Sounds like you have the smarts to contribute content here. | |
