Fossetts Farm Stadium in doubt

question? does southend need/can cope with another casino? and are there any moral issues to funding a club through gambling?

Questionable stance on ethics there when you look at some of the funding behind other clubs.....Birmingham for example.

As long as gambling remains a legal activity I don't see a moral problem with some funding coming via that route. Whether Southend can support another casino remains to be seen I guess, it amazes me what people will spend their money on but then again I am a boring ba*tard!
 
We now have a Casino coming on board. Ron has explicitly stated that the money this brings in will be used to fund the Academy - hardly the action of a man who is purely out to line his own pocket at the expense of the club, is it?

Building the casino then staffing it and of course food and booze not forgetting to add interest payments and i would assume the owners would like a decent profit.

How much did RM say would be given to the academy??
