The current state of Roots Hall

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

At least they now wont look suspicious when they pull up right outside the bank wearing a cap and displaying a blue badge

Another great British trade lost in the modern world.

They said it's almost impossible nowadays. Too much CCTV everywhere, better bank security and improved forensics. They suggested Mr Martin go for a bridging loan.

 

[Holy Joe]

Are you 100% certain about that? Seems to be some doubt expressed by people.

Law isnt my area of expertise so be interested to hear views from qualified people.

I seem to be writing this a lot at the moment....

The planning permission for Roots Hall says it cannot be demolished until phase 1 of the stadium at FF has been completed.

That's the situation as it stands. Hypothetically an applicant could apply to alter the conditions of planning - but what would happen then is well into the realms of speculation

I do not know if it is true , but I heared that the west end of the covered end of the North Bank has been condemed as unfit .

It's true and the west stand as a whole will be next if money is not urgently spent on it.

Wont have to wait for FF stage1. It will have fallen down by the time that id completed.

Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world.......Best to become an MP now days. No risk crime.

Good, so 100% nothing to worry about then

With the current rate of decay completely eroding all areas of the Hall I'd be amazed if it has anywhere near 2 years left in it.

It's run its course without major repairs

you have to pay for proper legal advice .....

unless you trust the Zones finest ..

 

[Rayleigh boy]

No. Without a football ground in the borough it cannot be touched

I hope you are right ... but would like the detail on this - from a lawyer.

What if our beloved chairman said - "of course you will have a ground in the borough - I am just closing RH for a couple of weeks while FF gets ready"

*oh whoopsy - building delays on FF - chill out on Canvey while i get it sorted"

Not sure that those are the biggest obstacles to this plan. Finding a bank branch that hasn't closed down probably is though.

Ummm ... you probably believe the Chancellor of the Exchequer pays all his tax and Boris obeyed all the lock down rules .. It is true that it might be clearly stated in a contract BUT enforcing contracts is a whole another game ..

Anyone in business know it is next to impossible to recover money from debtors - ask our former players and legends how much RM owes them ? And how much they settled for in the end.. ?

You yourself mention realms of speculation - 100% agree. That is where we are. And the first thing we need is some serious legal insight into the realities of all this.

RM clearly loves hiding from debtors - and his basic tactic is hang them out to dry until they settle for a percentage ..

If he reneges on any agreement - or on any part of any agreement what are the actual real world consequences ?

A protracted legal dispute that kicks all the cans down the road ...

Breaking planning permission conditions can be a criminal offence.

The only place I can think off is the athletics track at Gloucester park its been re built only need some scaffold around it ,remember brightons withdean

You might want to rethink your debating method as well - after all the posts stating how toxic the zone is getting, your opening retort is to throw an insult

 

[in the know]

Didn't know who did the RH pitch. Thanks. Guess the weather has had a bad effect on lots of decent pitches

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

It was White Horse who weren't that happy as it was done very probably too late before the season started. They will be doing the FF pitch.

Pitch isn't big enough for senior football and isn't able to be extended. White Ensign had to move out after this was discovered. Despite playing a whole season there!

 

[Tommy2holes]

The only places that could be adequate for a season or so are:

Canvey Island fc
Braintree town
Daggers
Billericay
Col u
Chelmsford

I'd prefer Wakering if we had to ground share but doubt its up to the job.

Yesterday in the west stand bar.

Get to the front to be served. Nothing on tap at all. Presumably the bill hasn't been paid. Bottles had run out and the bar was closed.

I heard that the ceiling collapsed in the South West bar (unsubstantiated)

My season card seat now has the concrete crumbling round my feet. I highly doubt it will ever be fixed.

There is no chance at present of roots hall making it until fossetts is built. I can't see it getting condemned in the near future.View attachment 24505

Please can you tell me the exact location, by DM if necessary.
