SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Medway Blue]

The most pleasing thing I’ve seen is fans finally seeing through the “FF or nothing” charade. We can absolutely function as a NL club staying just where we are, even if it’s a short term solution. Yes it’ll take some graft to get the ground up to standard and redevelop but Ron’s never even entertained the notion, he’s let the place deteriorate. Even Ron himself seems to be accepting that the FF dream is over. Fine, if the stadium had started to be built but it hasn’t and there’s no reason it ever will be. Get someone in with some vision and a bit of cash to keep us going and an alternative future might exist. Who knows.

I think a new, modern facility would be good for the club, but it and the club's interests MUST be the priority in any project. It's no good as an inconvenient tack-on enabling development for a mass housing estate. The club will never be able to maximise the potential benefits of a new, modern facility with the Fossetts plans as they currently are, and the fact that RM and son have tried to push them through despite knowing that shows that SUFC are not the priority. They wanted Fossetts built ASAP and the club out of Roots Hall so they could bulldoze it.

FF is dead in the water as far as SUFC are concerned.

I think it says it all when literally no one is bothered by this. All we want is a club.

 

[Joshy boy]

No, but please hold tight!

I’m trying too.

Good. To be honest I never wanted to leave the Hall for that place anyway.

RH is sooo good. When the place is rocking and everyone’s singing ect the noise is electric.

Roots Hall is my home from home, I'd love to stay there. We have been brainwashed, over the years, into believing that a move to FF was the only way we could progress as a club.

Bit of redevelopment on it be like a brand new ground

So when you think of people to praise at the club. Think of April Smith first.

I am proud to call her mum @Tinks, Tony, Simon and her friends.

Hear Hear sir!

 

[Westcliff DGS]

No, but please hold tight!

Who would you expect the statement to be from

 

[CanveyCastle]

Can't we do something special for the lovely April ?

Anybody can predict a statement, dosent mean they have any in the know info.

I’m guessing the meeting was for those now charged with now selling the club, MPs and the like, to hammer out a new deal together that RM and any interested party will hopefully accept. If that doesn’t do the trick then we might see a statement from someone.

the first target has got to be immediate funding for football department - wages and all associated monthly costs ... incl. physio/medical ... all training facilities functioning

ball park figure 125k per month - but an initial start up first month of x2 that.

Plus all back pay owing and agreed t and c - salary for all

Plus immediate engagement with the commercial team to review sponsorship/advertising income forecast

I imagine all pre-existing funds (season ticket money/sponsors) have been drained away by previous owner ..

all proffesional services (law, accountancy, insurers) engaged.

I know if we went public we would raise 500k pretty quick ... how many have not bought a season ticket ?

I think it can be done ....

You still banging this drum?

You know we’ve done two fundraisers for the staff, and the money they are owed and with help from other clubs like Wrexham & York, plus the York City owners incredibly generous donation of £10k, across the two we haven’t raised anywhere near £500k…

Not forgetting the £40k from the Shrimpers Trust & £40k from PG Site Services too…

I would hope if it does or doesnt work we would get a statement
