So the question is where are the new flats going to be ...

In the road opposite Colchester rd , The old road to the old southbank orchad bros backed onto the top south side of the carpark behind the high wall................

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Sorry but another false dawn. Work will not start anytime soon.

Be nice we don't have flats at all next to our new stadium, what if we did a Hull or Swansea in 10 years time and move up to PL lol and want to expand our stadium :p

Wonder if any other club has a road/street named the same as their local rivals, literally a stones throw from their ground?.

Chelsea FC - Fulham Road
Bury FC - Manchester Road
Blackburn Rovers - Bolton Road

Probably some others will have a think/look on a map.

One of the best ones was Huddersfield Town - Leeds Road, not only was it a nearby road name but the actual name of the ground as well. Can you imagine our ground actually being called Colchester Road!!!

But it will!

Yes the demolition of the flats, college, and shops will be the first work on the roots hall site, where that fits into the grand scheme of things I don't recall. The time line for the project was set out in some sort of article or submission but god knows where you would find said document

As I recall, the corner where the shops are is one of the last things to require demolishing which is why they weren't considered to be holding things up too much. I would imagine that Prospects will go quite quickly and then there will be good access to the area outside the ground where much work is needed on levelling - will they dig into the hill or build it up?

Not according to NeilG who is clearly part of prospects. The uncertainty rolls on....

Even in the prem 22k will be plenty for Southend

 

[londonblue]

The store isnt going on the stadium its going where the flats and carpark are which is why people were saying it was going to be built at the same time, that article clearly says otherwise. ie pretty much what you say, stadium + Housing, superstore and then stand2/retail.

I assume by housing they mean the flats at Fossetts because the homes on Roots hall will be where the stadium sits.

Jam Man is right, the store will be going where the car park is which is why they can get on with infrastructure with us still playing at RH. Where people park will be another matter entirely.

How can he be right when he even says he isn't?

I think you're underselling the lure of the Premiership. If we were to get to the Prem in 3 years, I would expect we could regularly get a 95-98% full stadium.

Yeah we will. The plans for the new stadium also include about 3 blocks of flats.

I heard from my grandmothers poodle that a Ronaldo Martini hair stylists shop will be the first retail outlet to be built, charging a mere £125 for a blow job or is that blow dry, im not up on these things

Then 22k max will be fine. Truthfully, if I ever get to see Southend in the Prem with a gate of 21560 (98%), I will be heaven. If it takes as long as I think it could to achieve that target, I could be in heaven anyway!

Stadium timescale.

Main stand will commence sooooooooon after the 3 sides are built.

Have you got 30 possibly 40 years left:winking:

I think my previous post answers your question without any further clarification, don't you?

Look it's gonna be called the Clairol stadium and that's that.
