THE ROCK GOD
Quite often, the union chips in with a few shekels during the late spring / early summer months, when for most lower league clubs their cashflow has dried up, tied up in pending season ticket payments. Not the norm by any stretch but certainly not an uncommon practice. I'd guess in this instance Southend were in one such situation and paid it back as soon as the money flowed in from season ticket sales and sponsorship deals.
'Worrying, worrying times'? If all some people have to bother themselves with is a bit of speculation about the football team they support then I and a few others envy what a lucky life they must be leading.
Indeed, the thread title is slightly misleading it makes it sound like they are paying our wages now!!
