Question Will you attend the first two home games?

[lreed567]

I get this viewpoint, but I don't see it that way personally.

The players and staff aren't going to be sat there if the ground is 1/3 full and think "ah Southend fans don't care anymore". If there's an official boycott it'll show we care more about the future of the club than enjoying 90 minutes of entertainment.

Yes fair point, I can see both sides and I'm sure the staff and players know there appreciated, oh and as for 90 minutes entertainment I'm not so sure

If we are playing Oldham then the debts will have been paid including match day staff from last season. All the players will have been paid for July etc.

Highly unlikely the money will have come from Ron. So who will you be hurting...Someone about to become the new owner? Kev and the team?.....Will it make a sale go any quicker?

So if we are playing Oldham and any season card holders are not going. I understand but would you mind lending me your ticket as I haven't renewed as of yet.

Don't want to appear to be ungrateful but don't contact me if you sit in the South Lower, Thanks

Great message to the potential buyer(s). Well if that’s the level of fans’ support why are we bothering?

It’s a message that says only buy the club if you’re going to run it properly and pay staff on time.

The excellent support over the past couple of years is clear for all to see. A justified boycott in light of RM dragging this process out isn’t going to change that.

 

[shrimpled]

Can't go, but would go. The players deserve our applause and support, whoever they might be by that point.

 

[Wingnut]

Doubt it to be honest I be working

Those who 'go regardless' are really feeding the problem, how can't they see that.

 

[edwardss2]

I will go I am sure. I do have a season ticket, but have not yet had the fabled email confirmation, so maybe I don't.
I have not read all of the updates yet, so sorry if this seems a daft question but are we sure that there will be games to go to?
Also, will we have any players left by then? I wonder how many were waiting to see what happens today to make decisions about the future. With the current general economic uncertainty let alone what is going on at SUFC, people have to do what is best for them and their families.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

That's the million dollar question that no of us know the answer too.

So you’d prefer that no one turns up?

Has to be done, should of happened a long time ago.

Sorry, but I was under the impression that he was selling the club, rather than seeking an investment partnership. OK, we may not have a club ultimately but either way Ron will be out of it which is what I believe you want. As long as there’s a chance we have a club I’ll shall be going to the match purely to support the team, nothing else.

 

[fredheim_holm]

Yes. I think even Ron would get the message if <1k turned up at home to Oldham.

 

[Wingnut]

No as a orient fan

Fully agreed that Lower south is a bark.

 

[1966 and all that]

Yes. I think even Ron would get the message if <1k turned up at home to Oldham.

You don’t think he’s already got the message? And how are the players going to feel in a near-empty stadium?

 

[IloveShrimp]

Depends whether there is enough parking at South Church Park.

 

[Sherif H]

Absolutely not. Won't be attending any games until Ron and his family/friends/associates have disappeared completely.

You seem to have issues with a fair number of your fellow fans at the moment mate. Remember we all want the same thing - even though there may be multiple views on how to get it.

 

[Tinks]

Heart and head in two different corners atm - as I really despise the current weasel at the helm.
but I went for the first option - that’s if we have a team to field and more importantly a stadium to watch it in
