SUFC: The Future It's DONE! COSU Own The Club.

[kentblues]

OK boys and girls, you get a pass THIS TIME but if we are going to properly honour our new Aussie chairman then we need to start sourcing some decent beer from this part of the world to toast him.

Not Fosters, not VB, not XXXX.

Of course our Justin has a British passport… so he’s just coming home…

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaa

Well I went out and had too many beers last evening, checked here before I went to sleep and nothing. Had to get up in the middle of the night for a pee and checked on here again and WALLOP it’s done.

Have a bit of a hangover this morning but at least the news makes it a bit better.

OH MY GOD ! I GOT A HARD ON

Congratulations!

I summon ForverBlue to the stand.

All joking aside, he was probably right. Ron never wanted to sell, but he has been so backed in to the corner he had to.

We don’t know the deal yet .. it certainly wasn’t the original one

Last night.

My favourite day covering Southend United since Wembley 2015. Thanks so much for all the kind comments, interaction and interviews. See you at Bishop's Stortford.

It must be our pledge, no matter how big we become (who knows) we must always remember these past 18 months and where we came from. I’m proud of this clubs story.

OH MY GOD ! I GOT A HARD ON

Wow. What a day! 2 reasons to celebrate now.

#theclubthatrefusedtodie

What a day yesterday was, what a rollercoaster last couple of years we've been through.

Thank you to all the staff at the football club who have hung in there through extremely difficult circumstances.

Thank you to @StanCollymore for getting this ball rolling and to Tom for picking up that baton and running with it. Thank you to Justin and all the COSU members for falling in love with this crazy, mixed up mess of a football club and deciding to take it on, nourish it and bring it roaring back to life.

Thank you to Anna Firth for getting behind things, for her very proactive role in seeking better governance in football for all, and for trying to mediate between Ron and everyone else. Thank you to Tony Cox, who started things off with the council and to Daniel Cowan for having the balls to tell Ron to put up or shut up.

Thank you to my colleagues on the Shrimpers Trust working group - to Paul Fitz, Paul Y, Liam (@Liam AAS), James (@Medway Blue), JP (@jphfitz), Rob (@Exiled Shrimper) and Clare - and to Mike Paterson and Sam Duckworth, for their tireless work in the background. Apologies to anyone else involved that I've missed out.

Thank you to those of you genuinely in the know on here - James and @Tribal Chief, you, my friend, especially - for helping us to keep the faith even in the darkest of times.

And now we can look forward to a brighter future, a unified fan base with owners who actually are invested in us, the fans. On to the new season - it's time to smash this league!

Amazing.

It’s time to stop my self imposed ban and put my hand back in my pocket to part with my hard earned money and support this board.

They’ve been nothing short of patient.

This is fabulous news.

[Liam AAS]

Well done everyone. That was absolute hell.

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Anyone know if we going to try and increase Roots Hall capacity to back to over 10,000 next season

I feel we going need it next season

 

[hlane17]

Mild headache this morning to say the least, but that day of celebration was a long time coming, probably a good 5 years considering SUFC's struggles on and off the pitch

 

[ms brush]

Has anyone invited Alison Moyet to come back to Roots Hall, so we can officially now adopt Blue as our club song?

I want to offer my thanks to every single one of you who has finally made this happen!
Thank you for standing by us in the darkest hours. The love for this club has been proven over and over, to get our club back from the clutches of several decades of poor ownership.

Thank goodness. A new era has begun!
