What Fossetts Farm will look like (if it happens!)

Great work, Sean. Gives a really good impression of how it works.
I have to say, you can see why the Garden of Rememberance people might be concerned, and you wonder what the traffic impact will be on the area. But as Scott says, it's a snug fit - the overall impact on the site looks very minimal, and will of course free up the Roots Hall site on the busier Victoria Avenue.
Looks a good 'un to me.

Good work. Looks great.
I suppose it's a shame that the land directly behind Waitrose couldn't be used as that could've created a corridor between the crem & the ground. But I assume that's where the ancient monument (Charlie Benson) is to be found.
Out of interest do we know where the B&Q is going?

Many years ago now I was banned from owning a season ticket by Vik Jobson (long story, but basically he had it in for our next door neighbours and decided to take it out on my dad and I too. The funny thing was that Vik lived over the road to us, but had left his wife and moved in with one of the SUFC barmaids.)[b said:Quote[/b] (dave @ Oct. 20 2006,16:55)]Bye Bye Boots and Laces
Anyway, I decided to go to his new house on a Saturday morning and confront him. We had a really interesting chat for about an hour, the 1st half was me getting him to agree to let me and my dad have our season tickets back and the second half was about SUFC in general. One of the main things he was pleased about was that he had just bought Boots and Laces. He didn't really do it because he thought we needed a training ground, he did it because he believed that it would eventually become the site of our new stadium.
Vik may have been too pig headed and rude to get Southend council to grant planning permission, but you have to admit that he was right!

Scheduled Ancient Monuments
The most important archaeological sites are designated Scheduled Ancient Monuments by the government's Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), on the advice of English Heritage. These are protected under the Ancient Monuments & Archaeological Areas Act, 1979. Ancient Monument Consent is needed from the DCMS for any works or activities, such as metal detecting, digging and ploughing, that will affect the site. (Other forms of consent such as planning permission or listed buillding consent may also be necessary.)
Southend has six such sites:
Prittlewell Camp
At the rear of the Waitrose supermarket in Eastern Avenue, this is a late Bronze Age or early Iron Age (8th to 5th century BC) circular univallate hill fort with extensive views across the Roach valley. This type of hill fort is rare and surviving examples are of national importance. The purpose of this particular example is not yet known. But there is likely to be good evidence surviving below ground.

As it's such a tight fit, does this mean it won't be possible to enlarge the capacity of the stadium if desired at a later date?

The roof can be raised to fit another 9000 in if required.

Might have missed this one with all the new info coming out so quick, but where are the players gonna train when/if the new stadium gets built?

Take a look at the plans again and you'll see a set of training pitches to the north of the stadium complex; I think these are the choking point at the moment as the land lies within the jurisdiction of Rochford Council ...

I meant during the construction of the stadium, presuming the training pitches are going to be constructed at the same time?

"It looks like classical neo Roman pottery to me. It's a great find, it's stamped Armitage Shanks, must be a new emperor we've never heard of! "
