Can someone please explain to me why steel businesses are seen by some as government-sponsored employment programmes rather than being part of an industry where companies sink or swim dependent upon their success?
Crikey, that's a naive question......it assumes a level playing field across the world for the steel industry and misses the point about strategic industries in an increasingly dangerous geo-political situation, but it doesn't really belong on a football fans forum. Some of the Scunthorpe fans will be working in the "government-sponsored employment programme" to which you refer - what's Scunthorpe FC's nickname again....? It seems a perfectly valid request from their fans and each individual Southend fan can decide whether he supports it or not.
