Given that Southend council have stipulated that we can't move out of Roots Hall until FF is actually built, there must surely be a tipping point, somewhere on the horizon, where Sainsbury's realise there's no longer any point in funding our ever increasing, recent appearances (nine in the last three years) at the Winder's court?

Barna, what Sainsburys are putting into SUFC is peanuts compared to the total cost of the project, and the potential profit to be made from the completed store. They are very used to big projects and dodgy businessmen, and they wouldn't have gone this far if they weren't committed to seeing the project through. All these threads on Administration and Sainsburys pulling out are long on hope and speculation, and very short on facts and reality.

While I don't disagree with what you say here, I suspect that even Sainsbury's must have a tipping point where they're no longer prepared to bail out the chairman any longer.

Probably,as Chapperz has suggested,that point will be reached either when they've coughed up the agreed purchasing price for Roots Hall or a three sided ground is built at FF.

I think they reached that tipping point in 2010 though, although a bit more money has been given since they have shown a lot more reluctance from what I can see to bail us out whilst the project was stuttering.
