Yep. The Sainsbury store can not be operational until the new stadium (well 3 sides anyway) are in full use. We have Southend Council to thank for that.

I'd back that all the way if we'd become a solid championship side. But, we had gained two consecutive promotions punching well above our weight and I believe Ron was just going with that momentum.
