As an exile ( I live in Wales) and I know there will be many others in a similar situation. Is there anything we can do to financially show more support to the club and COSU should we come out the other side. Obviously a season ticket is not feasible, but other than buying merchandise what else could anyone suggest?

I would happily pay into an Welsh Exiles player sponsorship (albeit I'm born and bred in Wales) if that's something to consider

I love the idea that they’ve all been round the table without Ron working out how to get rid of him.

They'd have to be smart. They'd have to have nobody in the know. They'd have to put the fans through the emotional mangle but ... It would be for the greater good.

I appreciate not all of the fan base are in the same financial situation and for some there maybe more important things to spend there money on.

That said personally if they save our club I would like to be able to contribute financially maybe £50 or £100 as a one off on a season ticket as a thank you gesture for saving our club.

Maybe they could even produce some merchandise like scarfs or training tops etc where every intem sold raises some money ie perhaps £10 on scarfs and £40 on training tops giving those that want and are able to to contribute financially to show our appreciation.

Great ideas J.

What worries me is that if this goes through it will take all the pressure off Ron and he will start paying hardball again with the council, restarting negotiations and making increased demands on FF. Maybe he’ll build and release the first set of houses there and then get a little greedy and change plans for the proposed stadium site. What would be his motivation to give up the freehold on RH. He can charge rent. It’s still a bargaining chip he can use to get what he wants from the council. It increases in value all the time. Since RM took control the football club has always been secondary to land and development. We’d still be locked into that

Whilst I agree that it is a worry that this potentially opens the door to Ron extending negotiations, without it we die thanks to the NL.

Next time you're in town for a game, do hospitality instead of getting a regular ticket. That's an extra £60+ that goes directly to the club.

I went (coincidentally) for Chris Powell's first game and it was a great experience, you are very well looked after. I imagine the standard will rise even further once COSU are in charge.

I'd definitely do this, I'm just conscious, that should we have custodians who care about Southend as much as I do , and putting up a lot of capital, rather than the parasite that was Ron. I could front up more money as a signal of solidarity, Sadly, like most of us, I am not hugely wealthy, but I could certainly front up season ticket level money to help the club. Maybe a group of us exiles could fund a few season tickets that could be allocated to the Trust for them to use for young people/ disadvantaged people in the Southend area to enjoy a game.
