I think the trampling was done many years ago. The club has already made money out of Roots Hall and it would be unfair for the club to profit twice from it.
The issue would be more with what was done with that money - we shouldn't have ******* it on Peter Clarke, Richie Foran and Billy Paynter etc but there were few dissenting voices when this money was being invested in the team instead of saved for the new stadium.

Perhaps you are right. We may have lost our way over this many years ago but the club profiting has really meant the owners and the frittering of monies has been at their behest. Maybe I am suffering a bout of righteous indignation or am pampering to my romantic version of right and wrong but what I see I do not like.
Rh has a covenant, even Boots and Laces ground had a covenant but it appears the well meaning of people means nothing to world of business or southend council. The very least we should have is a covenant on FF for if not then the original RH covenant really has been torn up and thrown away. It was not just about where to play but the essence was to insure that southend united football club always had a place to play.
I am more fearful now about FF than ever I was. I have always thought it necessary but now feel like it is a part of the sacrificial rite carried out in order to obtain the retail park and if push comes to shove the club can then go and whistle.
That would taint the memory of all those people that gave up so much so that we can be watching football at our ground today.
A covenant, if they are worth anything would be nice at FF.
I guess for the medium term the stadium is pointless without a team to play there. The retail park is obviously part of RM's 'legacy' but Im sure he doesnt want an unused stadium so whoever owns the stadium has it in their own interest for there to be a club there.
