Breaking News Facilities Update - North Bank (NWQ) X block now open

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Intrigued by the eat street catering mentioned by the club. Looking on the net they seem to have a burger bar type thing in Feenan Highway and do the catering for Grays and Tilbury. Their stuff looks OK. Do fans in the West have access to it. Is it in a building in the north stand or their mobile which they seem to have.

I guess the club could do what Notts county did a few seasons ago. £5 a ticket and open most of the ground up for home fans, especially if the away support that day will be small.

Do some great deals for beer and food for early entry and get 9000 home fans in.

Seems strange to have it in the away end. Better food options than everywhere else.

That said, the burgers in the railway are banging

A small thing but classy of Tom to name and thank those involved. Ron would have portrayed himself as the messiah.

Tom says above we have a certificate for just under 10k - I always thought we had a capacity of about 12.5k all seater?

Roots Hall capacity is 37,000- just checked my Rothman’s football yearbook 1985.

Nah, he's just a very naughty boy.

I’ve just looked through the pictures from the day, but none of them had a proper insight into what it looked like.

Steps crumbling away, seats missing, **** everywhere, filthy too. I can easily see why it wasn’t fit for purpose in the eyes of the powers that be.

CP tweeted something similar to what I put on here, as he sat in every seat at Roots Hall the day before. He’d be a better judge than me as he sat in those seats, whereas I ran past them.

Very interesting! Would be good to see what Chris has photo wise.

Still remember that train ride home from work back in June, SUFC told to pay £1m by the NL. Never felt so low about the club and thought thats curtains!!

Just 4 months on, look what COSU have done, amazing, love this latest development news!

yeah it almost felt like one of those US jail Bail Bond(s)

 

[Medway Blue]

I'm assuming they will just open up the double gate at the back of the west stand and let west stand fans go down to use the bar. That would alleviate congestion away from the west stand bar and will make sure more fans are spending money. So many walk away from the bar, with their money still unspent because of how bad the traffic is in the west stand bar. I am hoping they do as I've stated.

Bingo.

I don't see a mention of Sharon, who has had very little time to get the bar stocked and ready.

He was not allowed to sit in that corner so passed it by.

Absolute brilliant news, well done all involved as TL has intimated.
Let’s hope we get a couple of good luck breaks, Bonne scores along with Bim and we turn over Charlton, then go on and double our income in the next round, which should also attract TV money. COYB UTB

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say, and that, to me, is very fugly. Maybe after a few pints once upon a time, but now, no thank you.

And that’s the problem when you name names. You can miss one.

That tells you all you need to know about that part of the stadium then…
