Things to be done soon once COSU own the club.

[Yorkshire Blue]

The way it was related to me is that the sprinklers are working but not rotating due to being restricted by the overgrown grass. This left huge rock hard burnt patches. Once the grass was cut down they were able to work properly and the pitches expected to be playable soon maybe next week. Think B&L are hard too at the moment, but it's early days and body fat, physical testing and bleep testing etc will all be done first.

Will the physical testing be done at Boots and Laces?

Custom printed urinal screens with the Rat’s face on, in every toilet.

Not as high up on the list as things already mentioned. But the club shop needs a overhaul. From how it fundamentally operates (which COSU have talked about) to the products themselves. For so long it seems like the items are minimum effort. I would love to see us lean in to some retro designs and even the personalised items where possible.

do something about the heap off rusting metal that RM bought for 2 million back in the days off cavemen.
Kevs testimonial to be held hopefully against either Rangers or Spurs ,as we have an Aussie owner and a Rangers person as part of COSU.
Show some recognition to Stan Collymore as he was the one who got this all started, my belief is he should be shown some sort off thankyou and gratitude by all the supporters He was the man that took on the Rat family in the beginning.

he said he paid £500,000, the 2 million figure was the cost to erect it ( unclear if this included the purchase price)
In January we will have had it for 10 years!

Will the physical testing be done at Boots and laces

Sorry....don't know, but I imagine so as I don't think there's any facilities at the new training place yet. They'l be glad to get the balls out if youl pardon the expression. No one likes a bleep test!

I rather enjoyed it. Even though it was a very cold day in Feb and it felt like my lungs would freeze

I get that. It's a personal challenge as much as the peer group pressure to do well. A certain amount of self satisfaction afterwards.
Also bound to be one or two being sick.!

let us spend some money. make spending money (especially on beer) much, much easier in and around the West stand. pop up bar out the back, even someone with a table, a bucket of beers in ice, and a card machine would be a massive improvement

Everything is dependant on the rat being fair with COSU and doing this deal.

Yes we know he is never fair.

Perhaps @CllrDanielCowan can cut the ribbon on some sparkling new Ron and Jack Martin appreciation bogs for the West Stand - mushrooms removed and shiny new pans installed in all new traps. Then every time we take a dump we can show our appreciation to the Poundland Trumps of Benfleet Road / Camden.

I get the sentiment but kind of bizarre.

Issue a banning order from all Southend away games to the Martin family. Can't do it at RH yet as he will still own the place, however.....................................

Best I could come up with - no prizes for guessing where I was when the idea came to mind

Definitely better beer- plenty of local breweries.

Anything less and you shouldn't be an SUFC player.

They were defo on and moving about again at midday today when I delivered to Smithers Chase but I haven’t been over to look properly at the state of the grass and what not.
