Sadly it seems like the new Stadium dream is just that. I just wish that they'd come forward and admit it's highly unlikely to happen.

Quite happy at the Hall, I never really wanted to leave it, but the club has been so adamant that they need a new ground to progress. Due to this I'm a bit worried about the whole situation...

Southend: Stadium plan in limbo
Brought to you by the Evening Echo
Southend United's dream of a new stadium at Fossetts Farm could be scuppered because of a dispute between its major shareholders, it was revealed today.

Blues chairman and shareholder Ron Martin has always insisted the new 15,000 seater stadium was essential for the club's future.

However, joint shareholder Colin Wagman, of London-based Delancey Estates, cast doubt over the stadium plan by suggesting it was "not the most likely scenario".

Mr Wagman said: "It's fair comment that it's pretty difficult to relocate the club to Fossetts Farm in the circumstances and it has been for some time. "I think it's very difficult to commercially achieve and I don't think it's the most likely scenario.

"But it doesn't stop them playing football at Roots Hall."

Mr Martin confirmed his hopes of leaving Blues' spiritual Roots Hall home for a new site at Fossetts Farm have stagnated for now.

Over the course of the years i think we have heard so many rumours about how the new stadium will bring in £XXmillions in the future, but we seem as near now as ever, but still as far away as we were at the beginning of this saga all those years ago. Until there is an opening game at any new stadium i wont believe it till it happens.

He has? I haven't read this yet. Even if that's true, Delancey have to agree, not just consider, to sell their shares if we are to proceed, so lets not start counting chickens yet.

"Wise stirs up controversy despite his scoring debut for Sky Blues"

Interesting. But what's it got to do with Southend United?

It's right at the bottom of the article. Until I see something from Southend themselves I won't believe it...
