This is not to be sniffed at, but we maintain a presence on Football Manager!

SFR have chosen this day, of all days, to have a Wifi break down. That means I'll have to join the party at Roots Hall on my virus infected téléphone, with the risk of the game being interupted by pop-up ads.. A huge thanks you to all those who have helped bring this about. Enjoy your party......may It be the first of many

"All around the world I've been looking for you." Gets us out of a Jam.

Relief, Optimism, excitement, as the love affair continues. Can't wait to get back over there for games at Roots Hall this November and December.

Just came into Spread Eagle and playing Level 42. Something about you. How apt. This one's for you Justin.

Scramble the Rustycopter - I need to get to RH stat

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

What was it the Sky commentator said after Pigott's goal at Wembley?

"Southend United pick themselves up and get themselves out of a tight spot again. This club just does not know when it is beaten."

 

[Russ.K]

Still doesn't feel real. 1st of November can't come soon enough!

 

[SuperRonnieP]

A Guinness has been cracked open by myself in honour of this moment. I'm immensely happy that the football club I have known for as long as I can remember has been saved from extinction.

Although I am far away from Southend-on-sea now it is still a part of my soul and until these recent times of uncertainty I don't think I fully understood that. My heart, as all of ours, beats blue blood and will do for a long time to come.

Enjoy this moment, Shrimpers. Never beaten.

Expressed my thoughts exactly Cornish, never realised how much the club meant to me until I genuinely thought we'd lose it.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Been on The Guardian football site. Seems a couple of bull**** Champions League games are more important than our survival.

 

[Tyga]

Great news to wake up to, a win, sale agreed and HMRC paid off.

Well done to all involved in putting pressure on Ron to sell up and thanks to all the staff and players for sticking by the club throughout this turmoil.

Here is hoping that, once the sale is complete, we can move forward on and off the pitch without the doom and drama of the past few years.

 

[leeblue]

So, with HMRC being paid and thanks being given to creditors(presumably those on the WUP) does this mean tomorrow is WUP sorted then out of embargo? If so how soon is embargo lifted.

 

[Ron Manager]

Heading into work now at Westpac where Justin Rees and I used to be colleagues*. Just saying

*In different cities, totally different roles, never met him. But still counts right?

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Amazing news all round - but - I can't help thinking the Echo report on the HMRC debts makes it look like they are our new sponsors.

 

[Napster]

Hmmmm I’m still a bit sceptical.

 

[rootshall rambler]

Hmmmm I’m still a bit sceptical.

Totally understandable. Until we know that the rat and his miserable family are 100% gone forever….. it’s only natural…….plus of course, we still dont know very mich about what’s to come…… although I am working on the theory that nothing can be as bad as the rats toxic regime .

Nice one, USA!

 

[Boreham Blue]

Does court still go ahead but is instantly dismissed? The case is still listed but they are all on MS teams rather than in person

 

[Fitz]

I actually got emotional at the end when Kev stayed on for a little longer to clap the fans….legend.

I’m just so pleased….
