Not taking Rons side at all here but if you was looking to move the last thing you would be doing is investing in the old stadium. it already costs a fortune to get a safety certificate each year. Out of interest though what would you like done to Roots Hall? We cant even afford salaries so you are ****ing in the wind if you expect any unnecessary money spent on the stadium.

if I had an endless pot of money I’d preserve the hall, build the new stadium and Also the flats next to the stadium and purchase the best team money could buy .

There’s so many soulless developments in Southend, Thorpe bay, leigh, etc when you compare it to other parts of the country and Europe you just wish more could be done to preserve what’s there. But that’s life and why I’m looking to move somewhere where peoole don’t rip down their houses and replace them with tacky monstrosities etc. There’s a reason the area had a rep as being a bit naff.

Where would you play whilst you redeveloped roots hall then as the only way to go bigger/better would be to move the pitch from
Its current location. Won’t happen, can’t happen, move on.

Uh? I’d do the same as is done now. But after new stadium erected I wouldn’t knock roots hall have it for a local amateur team or whatever. Or a community football pitch. You did ask aha so I said in fantasy land yes.
Southend is an incredibly densely populated place and it’s becoming ridiculous

It doesn't cost a lot to clear **** off the floor of the toilets

I’m sure they will accept your offer of help if you don’t like it.

Yeah feels like there’s no money now to run the club day to day outside the team and management.
Let’s see what next year brings. Hope the staff are ok

Why should I have to do it? They should be a functioning business about to at least pay staff.

yeah doubt another fund raiser would get much tbf. Can only do it enough times until people run out of goodwill and frankly at times like this, money

 

[Jai]

I see the Seaway scheme is faltering due to the economic turmoil.

It's only been done once this time round. So we don't know what the appetite would be for another.

That the one with the cinema?

 

[OldBlueLady]

That the one with the cinema?

Yep, on the corner where the Foresters used to be.

 

[Fairport]

That the one with the cinema?

Just as well if it doesn't go ahead, can't see the need for two cinemas in Southend. The proposed restaurants may have survived. The only viable projects these days seems to be in housing.

 

[teabee1]

Yep, on the corner where the Foresters used to be.

The cinema development is on the seaway car park and led by Turnstone. The corner opposite the Kursaal where the Foresters used to be is a separate development of flats and shops etc by the Inner London Group.

I doubt either will ever happen..

I would say in a few months yes but right now it wouldn’t go so well. Or would have to frame it as a Christmas fundraiser aha. Just don’t include Ron’s name in it

Yeah the cinema design did look a bit out of place. Never believed it would happen either

 

[Kat_r]

Yep, on the corner where the Foresters used to be.

The design looked a bit odd aha. Should have gone with an ice rink
