It was good fun back in the day when some firms would allow staff to have the afternoon off to play football......Fond memories from way back last century.

However, Dundee players walk the 180 yards to their rivals away fixture when both are in the same division, and vice versa. Imagine walking to an away game!And have checked... they don't! I always thought they did.
Don't like the idea of a 'Mystery billionaire oligarch'! Ask Macclesfield, and then work your way back through Bury and a fair few after that.Can only see three ways we stay in this division next season.
1. Two or more clubs go bust and we don't
2. Mystery billionaire oligarch turns up out of nowhere and buys the club.
3. Covid comes back with a vengeance, league stops before Xmas and we all try again next year.
I don't even think four 'experienced' signings will help, there is so much wrong, no not even wrong, completely broken at the football club that everything is having the life sucked out of it.
My bigger worry though is what relegation really means because I'm afraid it won't just mean dropping a division to play Boreham Wood.
The National League actually like clubs to be financed and vaguely well run. You can't turn up to their AGM without full proof and then some of funding for a season, you can't just blindly go along not bothering to pay HMRC or any of your staff, they're not the EFL who'll give you month after month to find some funding.
I have zero faith that Ron could wander into the National League AGM and satisfy their much more stringent rules and regulations, meaning of course that our best hope would be the Isthmian Premier.
I'll bet that nice shiny new stadium will look great hosting local derbies against Bowers & Pitsea.
I think this may have been covered before ..I know there is a Covenant that states Roots Hall can’t be developed on whilst there is a team and have somewhere to play. But we’re we to go bust does that mean Roots Hall and Fossetts could just be developed on fully with housing ?
i went to Eastwood high for 2 years until family moved back into Southend where i transferred to what was then Wentworth high schoolvery enjoyable league ...played for Eastwood School and then Leigh Ramblers in the Charity Cup, gracing the hallowed turf of the Hall !
I was there late 57/58Me too - I was at Eastwood late 60's early 70's. Some fella in same year - Limb, Lamb, dunno now - I believe signed for SUFC but believe it didn't work out for him (apologies as heading off subject......)

Remember it well, I played for eastwood high, Leigh post office then Southend postmen, against the like of palmers college, Southend police, to many to mention.It was good fun back in the day when some firms would allow staff to have the afternoon off to play football......Fond memories from way back last century.
I think we've had enough wailing and weeping and gnashing of teeth. We need to start being a bit more positive. A lot of people on here thought the kids were not ready and that's been proved although many last year were calling for this to happen. We're in a bit of a pickle. What does MM do now. What would you do if you were manager. No sarcastic bollocks about getting the map out to find where Bowers and Gifford play. It was mildly amusing the first time but is now pretty stale.
For me the spine of the team is always were you start. Alan McCormack is a good start and my brother who lives in Braintree and has seen Simeon Akinola play reckons he was mustard at that level and a great favourite with the Cowleys (did I read he also has a first class degree in Economics too - I may have been dreaming). Who else would you get in and remember they have to be cheap.
