Stadium delayed "by 10 to 12 months" or possibly 10-12 years !!!

[BrettieAngell]

Precisely. At last someone's hit the nail on the head.

Only Ron Martin, Tilly and SZ lovers are allowed to post without everyone trying to shoot them down in flames for having an opinion.

We hav a chairman with an ego the size of anelephant who is not a football lover. Quite a good mix eh !!!

Sorry dd I critisize ??

Thats just rhetoric though, post something with some substance and people might actually listen!

You have every right to be critical if that is your wish, providing your posts are not potentially libellous.

However do not be surprised if people disagree with your views, SZ has a diverse membership with disparate views and long may that continue, and long may you continue making your points.

I am all rather confused, i know Ron has come out and said not to believe the ECHO and that.... but we got given the green light to start building work a little while ago now... where is the building work?

Starting in the spring, according to Ron in his BBC Essex interview that started all this off.

Care to expand on exactly how this forum is controlled by the club?

Was his comment the exact opposite of your interpretation ?


Viz: "Unlike SZ"

I dunno, one or two posters on this thread seem to have more than a little in common with Terry ****witt.

Then surely the expansion I asked for will be forthcoming. Thank you for opening my mind to the other possible meaning.

No profit from the chelsea games?

No profit from the televised games?

No profit from the sale of JCR, Freddy and Bailey?

The reason we are in a recession right now is due to the fact that when times were booming, the government kept on spending and didn't save for the hard times, which is why they now find themselves up the creak without a paddle.

I hate to bring up old posts. But you're talking rubbish. This is a global recession, not due to this government or overspending etc. There are many many possible causes, the main ones being bandied about include the American sub-prime crisis and the level of food inflation across the world.

This is of course typical Tory twaddle.I'm suprised at you OBL.I've always found your previous posts measured and sensible.
I don't think that even the Shadow-shadow Chancellor(and I'm a big fan of his)could do any better in the present circumstances.Maybe Vince Cable would though :-)

Errrmmm, excuse me, that's nothing to do with me! God, I get the blame for a lot of stuff on here, but I'm not taking it for clearly someone else's post! Btw, measured and sensible.....are you sure?! :unsure:

Their may be a global recession but why is it that we as a country seem to have been hit hardest of all? Progressive governments since thatcher have allowed our manufacturing industry to vanish in favour of making quick big bucks from the banking industry. Hence we became the banking capital of the world. (sort of like iceland but bigger). To aid this revenue stream, THIS government set about de-regulating the banking sector. The banking sector is run on the basis of greed, both corporate and individual. Consiquently, For 8 years, everyone was happy. The traders were offered and happily took vast bonuses for business that was less than blue chip. The corporations were happy as their books told them that they were making vast sums on interest, the government were happy to turn a blind eye as the tax revenue stream from the city was so large. Then boom It all started to unravel..and suddenly people started to realise that all this 'money' was never actually there as such..just figures on a book. The traders dont care, they made their fortunes in the good times, the banks dont care as they have the government over a barrell and will not be allowed to go to the wall.
Other european countries like germany & france still have a large manafacturing base and are therefore not slaves to the banking system. Unfortunately, our government sold this country,s soul to the devil for a fast buck. So you see Napster, you shouldnt be so quick to shoot SL,s post down in flames and then say it might be food prices. ha ha

Think you'll find it was Southend Lady - about 20+ years younger and a lot less "old"!

Ah.I'll have to bear it in mind that there are two of you posting with very similar pen names.

I think Japan and America have been far far worse hit than us, and have a decent manufacturing base.

I doubt it. Japan is only really affected as a third party due to being a large exporter to the west. THe japs learned thier lessons from their own meltdown some time ago (15 years i think). America is obviously badly affected however, It would be a close call to decide which one of us is worst off. I fear it is us though which is reflected in the fall in value of sterling against all other major currencys including the dollar.

Japan is suffering believe me. And Russia

I could go on. I talk to people across the world and everyone is affected just as much, but in different ways.

Does anyone have any concrete dates on when work is due to begin, does summer mean, June, July or August?
Or does anyone know who the main contractor for the project is?

I thought it was June. The contractor IIR is HOK, but I could be wrong.
