Safe standing
at 17:46 22 May 2013

There's an excellent article in today's Indpendent (it's in The Mighty U's http://flip.it/7Q8xe saying the next Football League meeting is having a vote on safe standing. This is a cause which really deserves support. Check out their website here http://www.safestandingroadshow.co.uk/home Does anyone know what Robbie Cowling's position is? If there's any doubt he's in favour I think he should know how many fans want to see their footie standing up. If it works in Germany and great clubs like AFC Wimbledon are backing it - why not here in Colchester?

The Waiting is Over
at 15:55 18 May 2013

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

I hope you enjoy it!
