The training ground is coming along nicely!!!!

Good to see the training pitches still being looked after!

 

[Holy Joe]

I would think they are already able to walk away using the same case as Lopata if they want to, regardless of any missed pay today.

Not necessarily - that breach of contract has been rectified. You probably need to start proceedings whilst breech is active.

 

[Its Only A Game]

Those look like they are coming along nicely for the start of the season, given the poor state of the pitch at the hall I do wonder whether training on pristine pitches and playing on rather worse ones will have any impact

I think having training pitches that are in "too good" condition compared to Roots Hall is probably at the bottom of our list of problems at the moment.

Training pitches? The way things are going this is where Southend will be playing next season

They’re definitely being watered and staff are there most days now.

Looks like we've gone upmarket with the irrigation system too. Two jets per head? There's only one at Roots Hall.

This thread is absolute peak post-season right now.

It's like watching grass grow.

 

[Mad Cyril]

OK. Popped over. Pitches look good. Clearly being maintained and cut. 3 of them have small yellow flags on them. Your quess is as good as mine.

Probably empty shell cases.

The squad are getting knockoff DryRobes to change in.

That’s a tell tell sign that we are closed to being sold ‘ turn the taps on Ron cried’ as he finally got confirmation he won’t be paying Mays water bill

Rochford Council have updated the planning application with a committee date of 22 june - so should know the decision on the temporary planning application in a few weeks time.

Good news. Hopefully this will be a formality and we have ironed out any possible wrinkles with the officer involved. Can't help but think that the units being painted green and the bund are Rochford council stipulations. Also hope the units are already being fitted out at the factory for dropping in in time for pre season. I'm sure the specialist firms dealing with these buildings can get them sorted amazingly quickly. Anyone know exactly when pre season starts.

You never know, they might only be needed for a couple of years.

Used to be beginning of July when we were in the EFL? NL season starts a week? later so wasn’t preseason started also a week later?
I would imagine a couple weeks to install and we would be fine.

EDIT: last season first day back training was 29th June…. So a week to drop in.
