For those of you that care, this is Roots Hall, home of Southend Utd.
We are two weeks away from a home friendly (if it gets played, we’ve already had to cancel two as we can’t raise a team) and three weeks away from the season starting (If we last that long)
Heartbreaking.
Laughing because I’m embarrassed. But this is genuinely so fucking sad. Looks abandoned.

“Lawrence has personally paid a number of the club’s bills”
An absolute disgrace that this man has had to dip into his own pocket, due to the “owner” abandoning his duties. The CEO shouldn’t have to do this.

All other clubs are on their 4th or 5th pre-season match. We've played none.
All other clubs are selling tickets for their first league game. We aren't.
All other clubs pay their staff. We haven't in 3-4 months.

If players and/or staff wish to take part in any planned strike action until wages are paid in full, then we wholeheartedly support that decision.
The way players, staff and fans have been treated by the owner is abhorrent and has gone on for far too long.

It might only be Maidenhead away on a cold Tuesday night we hear you say. The opponent is immaterial. This is the second win on the bounce by a team & staff that haven’t been paid since Dec. There’s a strong bond building between the players & fans, uniting against the dark lord.

Astonishing for a 5th tier game in shit facilities, with an owner who's taken the piss out of the fans for years. Wrexham didn't get such crowds pre-Hollywood, even as playoff challengers. Unreal potential. Clean slate and fresh start needed. Hurry up and get gone, Martin 🤡👞

A must read...
"the chairman was confronted by an emotional employee who expressed concern about being able to pay their rent on time and losing their home. In response, the chairman apparently reassured them that at least, on the bright side, he hadn’t made them redundant."
What's it like to have 116 years of your club's history in the hands of a judge? AAS went along to the winders on Wednesday and found out. Wasn't very enjoyable tbh
