Almost certainly. Essex Highways might be interested. And is the electricity from the lamppost?
The basis of my comment was:He didn't say he needed time for Kimura to complete the fit and proper test
That’s what I’ve heard. Kimura want the stadium, but want the 22k version.I think people may have the wrong end of the stick here re Ron’s alledged comments about FF not being for sale.
I think FF stadium (when built) is for sale, but the whole FF development is not.
I think Ron is trying to sell the 16k capacity version, which of course has those additional, hideous, flats attached.
When built Ron will retain the long leaseholds of those stadium flats, to sell.
The stadium owner will own the freehold (therefore collecting ground rent from the leaseholders) of the flats as they are incorporated in the fabric of the stadium.
So I reckon the club being sustainable part (stadium complex), is for sale (I am almost sure of this), so this comes down to two issues:
1) a buyer may not like the 16k version, but Ron won’t budge due to not wanting to lose the extra sale proceeds from the additional flats
2) the asking price for 16k version (Ron’s being greedy)
Again, Ron shouldn’t be holding up the stadium part of the deal - he is getting more than enough pay back from RH development and the rest of FF development, which after all is only achieved because he owns RH, which is occupied by the club.

I suspect that they doubt planning will be forthcoming for the extra load of flats deal… when the traffic is a nightmare there too.That’s what I’ve heard. Kimura want the stadium, but want the 22k version.
Echo this - I was there from about 3.30 only for 15-20 mins with my two sons (and Dexter the dog!) Nearly all cars were tooting and showing their support and assume they weren't all SUFC fans.It was a pleasure to be there this afternoon, as others have said, so many cars hooting. This shows fantastic goodwill towards the club from S E Essex people. Probably most of them may be fans of other clubs but it shows that the football family can come together in unison. I am sure we would all do the same if other clubs were in our situation. Let's hope it goes some way in removing the greedy property developer out of our great club.
Yes I heard he was going to make a statement on Monday from one of the protest group that spoke to him when he came out very early on, telling all what Kimura had offered. Now if that happens surely all gloves are off re an NDA and we can hear from the other side.
unfortunately in ron`s world the only one that matters is him it`s all ME! ME! ME!
dear old ron can afford to keep his garden nice and neat ,have the heavy mob on his driveway ,but can`t look after his loyal staff the backbone of southend united
on the Tom Martin question, suggest members Google Mehram and Tom, its Tom Martin wedding day on 27 May this year at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park . Scroll along the snaps and theres one of a Helicopter with the SUFC Badge, written underneath reads 'the only way is up@ and theres no money for staff !! Having a laughWhat’s the address it’s registered too ?
What? The only thing he "thinks" is that he only looks 20 years older than when I last saw him whereas I "know" he looks 40 years older.
Thomas Max Martin attending his wedding Day in May this year, he borrowed Daddy's Southend United Helicopter.Not like his dad driving a new Bentley then. 10yr old Audi. Number plate probably worth more than the motor.
That's the worry.He didn't say he needed time for Kimura to complete the fit and proper test
I believe that to be a black Audi 1395 cc, petrol Engine, registered in 2013Just home, could only spare 30 mins on site (plus 40 odd mins travel time). I was the guy whose cap blew off and landed about 30 yards away on Ron's front garden. Helpful steward retrieved it for me.
Walking to the site from King John direction there was a guy in a car, reg 4TMM. Seemed to be removing some of the paper signs along the road.
Good to hear plenty of toots from cars driving past.
