I'd like to thank
@CJPhillips1982
for everything he has done for the last God Knows How Long. He's taken some stupid flack for doing his job, but he has kept us all sane with his timely reports and going the extra mile for the fan base.
Have a great Xmas mate.

In this case, that won't be hard.

Whether Ron Martin gets the money or not. He still has to go. We cannot go through this once or twice a year, every year. Its a circus and has been for years.
It needs to stop. And it only stops with a new owner.

We can't field a team for a friendly tomorrow.
Most of us knew in the week as you can't operate with 14 players and no medics.
Quite why we've taken until 24 hours before kick off to let Billericay down is anyone's guess.
Decent club Billericay, deserved better from us.

We do have Southend Phoenix ready to go as soon as 2nd March. There is a considerable amount of work to do between then and July, get a new club constituted, funded and playing.

Yes, the two Torquay numpties being hung out to dry is funny.
But, we were there recently (and still may be). None of us should want them to go out of business because of two teenage shitbags' tweets.

No. It's a bridging loan with massive interest, and we don't have planning permission for the stadium.

I completed the journey initially at Swansea in 2019, but changes to the 92 meant a few additional grounds, culminating at Harrogate last year.

People saying we are better off without Lopata. 5 defeats on the spin suggests not.
But if he'd been paid, like all working people expect to be, he wouldn't have gone. Would he?
Maybe it was the "fuck you" manner of Clownshoes' players meeting that really did it for him.

If the club goes into Administration it will ONLY effect Southend United.
