D-day - HMRC

[southend_aussies]

Thought we’d have an official thread for today.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I agree - this should be kept on the main board for today.

 

[Microbe]

Anyone know what time we are up?

 

[ThurrockShrimper]

Anyone know what time we are up?

half 10 I think mate

 

[MisterStubbs]

Crossing everything that can be crossed for a good result today.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Away draw.

 

[Wickford Blue]

I think a lot of people are thinking (hoping) that something definite will happen today so that we can start to focus on the rest of the season and either sign some new players or know we are destined for Administration and the National League.
I think as usual Ron will pull half a rabbit out of the hat so that we have a stay of execution and the can gets kicked down the road for another 6 months and we have another 6 months of uncertainty, embargo and without doubt the next "Players have not been paid" headlines. He has been doing it now for 3 - 5 years so why should he stop now. I truly believe that once we move out of Roots Hall and the flats start going up Ron will be off!

 

[Napster]

We have a 100% record I see no reason why that would change

 

[amsemp]

Is there a way we can watch?

 

[Strykr]

Is there a way we can watch?

Im sure ifollow could put up a blank screen for a tenner and play audio of yesterdays cases.

 

[palexander]

Anyone ITK got any info - I seem to remember last time quite a few people claimed they had the inside track, including @GBJ who was confident one moment then not so much shortly after!!

Whats the feeling generally on which way its gonna go.

If we pay a 'bit' off again, the death by 10,000 cuts continues :(

 

[ESG]

10.30 Number 5 in the batting order

 

[Shrimper]

Bit part payment, extended date is my guess. £200k to be paid off again.

 

[Blueeyedboy]

What’s the odds that Ron clears it today ?

 

[Tommy2holes]

Only Ron knows that. He is a one man club wrecking machine.

Don't think there's any doubt that Ron wants out now with his financial payday but with the club in ruins on and off the pitch .Roots Hall will be built on but just what is left of the original dreams ground wise outside the football league is the other question. We also shouldn't forget the councils handling of the club since the 80s and their totally unhelpful anti football stance which has been a major obstacle to all plans.
Now they have got their way on Seaway and see the central housing targets met by the footbal clubs demise they have suddenly found a new love for plans.
As I said before.....Does the town deserve the club ,or the club deserve a 2nd rate town

Haven’t heard anything this time around. Cards are being kept firmly to chests (make of that what you will)

My gut instinct tells me that we’ve paid off a chunk of it, but not the full amount.

 

[Tommy2holes]

If we get wound up.

Can Ron still build what he wants are is the football club part of those plans.

Does Sufc need to survive in order for roots hall and fossetts to be built.

Yea seems to be the most likely option. Keep them at bay for as long as possible till some funding materialises. Ergh... its just so painful :(

IIRC Roots Hall cannot be built on unless SUFC have an alternative place to play. Although if the club is to go out of business I’m not sure this would still apply.
