Ron Martin

[Monkey]

He is apparently in the middle of a months holiday. A friend i work with was speaking to Tilly whilst at the Gym.

This could explain the lack of contract talk of its true, does anyone know anything?

 

[Napster]

Considering he made a comment at the press conference after the game on Saturday, I would say he's back.

...though I did notice he hasn't been for the last previous games, perhaps this is why we've played so well, he comes back and we play kak....

MARTIN OUT !

P.S. The accusation was made on Saturday (by Leeboy, IIRC) that it's all my fault... my last three games:-

Blackpool 2 - 0 Southend
Huddersfield 1 - 0 Southend
Southend 0 - 2 Yeovil

Are you sure you haven't been coming to City's games this season.......

How have you guys been getting on recently? Will you avoid the drop?

I didn't know if it was true about him going away or not.

Disgusting, he shouldn't be allowed a holiday, who does he think he is?

I went over a year without seeing a league win until the Scunny game!

Impressive, mine was merely from first day of the season until Darlo!

Basically, we're pleased with the team's progress since Tilly/Brush have been in charge. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

He actually said the nudge, nudge, wink, wink bit too...

A league run of 1 defeat (to Champions Crawley) in 11 (5 wins 5 draws), hauled us off the bottom, but an unlucky 2-1 defeat at Stafford dumpped us back on the bottom again

In answer to your actual question, err, nope, probably not. We might make the convoluted play-off for Conference 2 if we win both our last games, both against Merthyr, but we realistically can't afford to play in Conf2 next season anyway.

The bright spot surely must be goalie Paul Nicholls. Top scorer in the league this year (5 pens) and 2nd overall (our top scorer was a loanee too). I hope he stays but he'd give Flavs a run for his money

Maybe he said he'll be going away for a month

Ron Martin was definately at the game saturday , he was sitting in his normal spot in the director's box.

Relax Matt. It's actually my fault. I brought a mate of mine from Uni to his fourth Southend game over the past two seasons. Those games being:

Last Season:
Orient 2 - 1 Southend
Southend 0 - 2 Lincoln

This Season:
Blackpool 2 - 0 Southend
Southend 0 - 2 Yeovil

I've now placed him under a lifetime ban.

And of course theres still the possessed pack of Honey Tunes which have been the cause of all of our hardships since 1996 and which I still haven't found a suitable way to dispose of. But thats a story for anothertime...

Who was as nice as always?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Thanks Beefy... I feel better now!

Adrian... your top scorer in the league is your goalie?! Madness!! Try to beat Merthyr, though - because then at least you've got the choice of whether to go into Conf 2 or not (and, surely, wouldn't there be more fans in Conf 2?).

We'll only get more fans if we're back in Chelmsford, which is pretty much done and dusted, but we really need to channel all our efforts into getting Melbourne Park up to scratch. Playing at a lower level will at least mean lower wage bill and give us some time to consolidate. This is better for the future, even if it means the pain of relegation now.

I think Conf2 is daft anyway, it's merely replacing 3 Prem divs with 2 divs, shunting 24 teams down the pyramid and effectively creating another level....IMHO of course
