[delr]

Still silence from the club!!!! Come on Shrimpers Trust get some answers DEMAND ANSWERS

:hilarious:

Is this your opinion or do you know this to be the reason for no news?

It is the reason things have ground to a halt.

 

[Smiffy]

Still rumours going around Sainsbury have or are about to pull the plug.

What that means (if true) we shall see.

 

[Jam_Man]

I dont think any plugs have been pulled, but I would imagine that could be one of the possible outcomes of the review. That doesnt mean its likely or inevitable, at moment its unknown.

Unfortunately we took so long to get moving the goalposts have been moved, all we can do is hope there are still goalposts once the review is complete.

Before I get completely shot down as I'm new to everything Southend United... a genuine question.
Is there anyone on here who actually wants to stay at Roots Hall?
Everything I've read since registering to SZ almost three weeks ago would suggest that everyone wants a move.

Let's face it - it's never going to happen. How long has the new dream stadium been promised?

I have hazy memories of a mid 70s front page of the Evening Echo announcing plans for a supermarket (with Sainsburys I think!) and a new ground.

I'd love to see us stay, but i'm afraid the current stadium has been left to rot and would require fortunes to bring up to scratch. Without the miracle of a wealthy backer, who's got money to burn, I don't think it's an option.

Sainsbury's are now providing a service whereby you can collect your pre-ordered goods at tube stations, who's to say that will not spread to commuter stations in Southend and reduce the need for new stores further?

On the subject of Roots Hall being left to rot - we have seen light fittings swing down and fall on unsuspecting East Standers -and there is probably nasty stuff lurking in the roofs (making any redevelopment a tricky business).
