  1. Grit and detrmination .....

    for all the moaning about the way things are I was well impressed by the way our rent a player by the week squad kept going on Saturday - seemed stupid to complain at Tillys tactics when he had 2 players with all of 24 hours to work with - anyway the Roots Hall moaners seemed happy enough...

    Who actually owns Roots Hall ?

    As far as I am aware, (and I need some of you more knowledgeable than me on this) Roots Hall was bought and paid for by the supporters. Local people donated. Local business's donated supplies for the ground to be built.Ted Grant donated the North Bank stand, and players and local people built...

    Be careful what you wish for.

    Lads, We all support Southend hence why were on here. I feel frustrated about the lack of signings etc as much as anyone. But I would heed caution to those wanting Ron Martin to walk away. For a start I am under the impression that his company own Roots Hall in effect and lets us play there...

    Question Is there a manly way to carry your partner's handbag?

    Was on holiday in Turkey this week- was alright- swam with a dolphin, but the all inclusive food at a supposed 5 star hotel was worse than Ali baba's kebab shop at 4 am. Anyway, walking through the market one day, and the WAG asks me to hold her hand bag for a moment whilst she tried a hat on...

  7. Club finances and the new ground

    I am a bit confused. I thought that a development company was building the new ground as part of the overall scheme of FF and Roots Hall and that the club would then rent the ground from that company. A few posts on this site seem to be suggesting that the clubs finances are being adversely...

    Glad to be back at work.... Or not.

    As a very laid back kind of chap, it does take quite a lot to rile me, but today has been one of those days… :punch: After five long months of signing on, I landed myself a job as a Rent Officer for a Housing Association, not ideal, but better than scabbing pints from my friends :) I attended...

    Ron's Blog 6/5/09

    Haven't seen this anywhere else yet...... Chairman's Blog What a good day Saturday was and with nothing to play for I thought that the team performed well and remained committed to the cause right to the end. It was also a day to celebrate the success of the Club’s youth policy which, I...

    I'd quite like to buy a flat with my girlfriend, but it's (almost) literally impossib

    Having watched house and flat prices soar now for about 15 years, I kinda always suspected they'd have to come down again at some point. And indeed they have of late. Yet STILL it's practically a dream for a first time buyer. Having had a chat with a financial advisor, we've got a few options...

    Kids at home - keep?

    OK here's today's question. If you have/had an adult child (say, 20 years old) living with you and working full time, how much 'keep' should they pay you? Just include 'rent', food. utilities. Personal things (clothes, car etc.) would be their own expense.

    Section 27 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act

    Section 27 gives police instant power to walk all over the civil rights of supporters if they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. No evidence appears to be needed, and no crime needs to have been committed. I think that there was an incident at the end of last year were about 80...

After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take...

    Supermarkets - What can be done to control their power?

    I've worked at, and for, a supermarket in the past and at first I thought all the scaremongering about 'Supermarket Power' was merely that. However, right now there are many, many things are I am becoming increasingly disillusioned by: • Supermarkets initially made money by using brands to get...
