Go to the bathroom. Relieve yourself. It's the only way.

I'm 51 and I have to knock off at 6.

When are we likely to know terms of deal and other members of consortium

 

[palexander]

Have I missed this bit in the short statement on the OS;

The Blues faced a winding up order over a £275,000 HMRC debt and are due back in the High Court today, but the statement confirmed this had “been paid in full”.

Because not seen that confirmed anywhere?

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Or write

 

[Scamps]

Yeah would like to know more details on the sale. Has Ron still got his fingers in the pie??

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Great news RH should be bouncing tonight and those living locally that have been boycotting need to return to RH ASAP

They’ll need to think of another excuse why they can’t be arsed to go anymore now

 

[Kenny]

Echo just put up a new story to confirm we're staying at RH, to be upgraded, and Ron gets to build "much needed" houses at Fossets.

 

[BedfordShrimper]

Hear hear. Plus a personal word of thanks to Cricko and the Moderators for running the Zone so professionally during the last few incredibly stressful months, and for keeping us all informed.
Think I can hear the bells ringing in Hereford cathedral.

Absolutely! Trying to keep the Zone in order over the last few months must have been hell. This forum is one of the best out there.

I hope not.......but its a possibility.

 

[JB Shrimper]

Congrats to everyone one of us, it's been a long time coming. Hopefully tensions will not run so high now!

Southend United 'set to stay at Roots Hall' as agreement spells end of new stadium

It is believed the agreement will see the club remaining at Roots Hall

www.echo-news.co.uk

DETAILS of the deal to rescue Southend United have yet to be rubber stamped but it spells the end of a new stadium at Fossetts Farm.

It is believed the agreement between a consortium led by Australian businessman Justin Rees, the club and Southend Council will see the club remaining at Roots Hall.
It is also thought the 500 homes due to be built on the Roots Hall site will now be transferred to Fossetts Farm where club chairman Ron Martin once hoped to build a 21,000-seater for the club.

The homes were once intended to finance the ambitious stadium plans.
The stadium was later down-sized to a 16,226-seater and plans for a hotel were dropped but the scheme would have eventually seen the creation of hundreds of new homes.
With the Fossetts Farm stadium unlikely now to be going ahead, the number of much-needed homes for the city could be set to increase.
The crumbling stadium will need a major overhaul or a rebuild if it is to survive and take the club forward. In recent months the council has had to step in to advice the club how to maintain safety standards to ensure it could continue to hold matches there.

Part of the deal is expected to include arrangements to bring the stadium up to scratch.
Southend Council was engaged in and supportive for both the Roots Hall and Fossetts Farm plans but wasn’t involved financially and its latest involvement remains the same, with any plans having to go through cabinet and the council's planning system.
