Breaking News Ron speaks

[FiremanBlue]

I hope those that can afford to waive their refunds, do not go on an assassination attack for those that need the monies and post on here

Many off us do not live in plush houses in Benfleet or drive a Bentley , so hope Ron does not expect everyone to understand, the plight of the club, is not as important to those that have families and other commitments that need to be addressed, before we think of the poor footballers or Chairman

 

[NZamba Legend]

SOUTHEND United chairman Ron Martin has opted to place the entire Shrimpers squad on furlough.

Nothing on the under fire Sports Science Department.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Everyone must do what is right for them. I am quite happy not to seek a refund. My trip to the ground is a 140 mile round trip, I have actually saved money, so given those circumstances i am happy.

The question I have to answer, is whether or not I renew my season ticket for next season. Nothing to do with League 2, more a question of how safe will I be. Having been more or less confined to barracks, since the Bristol Rovers match, I don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Surely the time to ask for a season ticket refund was after the first two or three games?

 

[MilkeySUFC]

I like the maybe they know something we don't comment!

I liked that.

That was the only bit I didn't like. Sounds like his previous petty, snide comments.

Don’t think Ron has a choice if someone wants a refund , they are entitled to it in law according to a expert in consumer matters in the radio the other day

forget Ron, I want a refund from Liam Ridgewell for false advertising

 

[Richard Hearn]

I actually meant that I liked the whole statement.

 

[onceknownasrab]

A statement with a positive vibe despite no evidence to support the positivity. Every part of the new season is contingent on so many factors. When will it kick off, with or without Sol, with or without crowds, good player retention and recruitment, FF becoming a reality et Al.

It seems Ron must have swapped the war chest for a crystal ball. I can only hope that his reading of the future is better than his recruitment record. I wish him all the best and believe he deserves a lot more credit than many fans give him. UTB

Crumbs, you must take the scenic route from Thundersley!

See? I knew it. When I was a kid I told my parents there were people in the TV, and they told me I was being stupid.

Whatever anyone’s views on our Ron, when a thread is titled “Ron speaks” you can’t help but click on it can you? He’s definitely good value.

Hey mate, hopefully we will be able to catch up in person soon!

 

[Strykr]

Good statement. 90 percent less bolleaux then normal

I actually moved tp Mendlesham 2 years ago, just decided not to change the name.

I will certainly renew even I decide nearer the time it’s not quite safe enough to go. Think the club need all the support they can get at the moment!

No-one should have to ask. Ron should have offered a refund before now: it's up to everyone then whether to accept or donate it.

I meant the first two or three games of the season...

I liked the bit about ‘moaning about the Chairman’ was part of going to football.

He obviously doesn't take it too personally then !
