    Breaking News Ron's Blog

    I feel that I should be letting you have my thoughts and feelings about the season now it is effectively at an end but I promised that I would answer all the questions that are put to me and I am continuing to do so. However I will need to bring this to an end soon as it was only meant to span...
  2. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...
  3. Zone Update Ron's Blog-17-02-09

    Chairman's Blog This week’s topic – Youth Development – is one of my favourites. This is probably in recognition that the Club’s advancement must be from organic growth. Over the last couple of weeks I have talked about player purchase and the increased structure that we have, and are...

    Shepherd's Bush Shrimper's Scunny Report

    Apologies for the delay with this one. Makes less depressing reading than reports of our humping in Bristol though.... It’s fair to say that the North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire region is not a happy hunting ground for us Shrimpers. We very rarely seem to pick up points at the lovely...

    Question Is is acceptable to bring a Dog into a banking hall.

    I am currently studying for my IFA exams. This basically means being stuck in a office of a high street bank for seven hours at a time. Having not worked in retail banking for about 8 years I am amazed by how standards of customers have slipped. Being in a sleepy sussex town I imagined it...
  8. Fossett's Farm

    Just received a copy of a letter dated 30/6/08 from the Communities and Local Government dept which in my non legal and non planning laymans' view seems to suggest it's all systems go for the stadium, hotel, 67 flats the retail units, restaurant and the training pitches. Can the club please confirm.
  9. Kinda makes sense...stolen from an email.

    An 18 year-old girl tells her Mum that she has missed her period for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the Chemist and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, 'Who was the pig that did this to you? I...
  10. Stadium Hold Up Again

    Anyone Else Read The Evening Echo As To The Hold Up On The Stadium Due To Terms Not Being Agreed On A Small Strip Of Land Which Was Due To Have 20% Of The Retail Units Built On It. Surely Ron Agreed Fees With The Owners Before Getting Permission To Build. Please Ron Just Start Building, Cement...

    Southend fans have been asked for suggestions to name retail elements of the new stadium: http://www.southendunited.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewStadiumDetail/0,,10444~1269045,00.html Maybe name parts of the shopping areas after past 'great' players? Suggestions?

  16. Good News, I Think.

    Article in the Telegraph on Saturday. I can't find it online, but the gist of it is: The Government Planning White Paper, which is to be published on Monday, will scrap the "need test" which allows local authority planners to turn down supermarkets on the outskirts of towns and beyond to...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 4

    “It was only four years ago that this club was losing £2.3m a season,” Ron Martin enthused as he published the accounts for the financial year ending July 2002 which showed that Southend United has lost “just” £707,665, the fourth year in succession that the club had reduced its losses. It was a...

    Inside the Meeting.

    Well, what an afternoon. Myself, BLUEBLOOD and SUFCEssex got to the meeting and has to blag our way in and finally took our seats in the public gallery about 13.55. There seemed to be a lot of totally pointless wasted time as the councillors, debated the finer details of the application. We...

  20. dead already?

    Once again it seems that the Minority will outweigh the Majority. I have lived in Southend all my life and have supported our team for over 35 years but once again it seems the backward thinking of this council and a few select groups will stop any progress as far as our New Stadium and future...
