Think you have been tucked up here mate no reason for you to lie every reason for someone to deny saying something he was supposed to keep quite loose lips sink ships only time will tell but don't get pissy if they all start calling you pinoccihio on here yes gashead01 I too have had chats with people about developments regarding stadium matters and possible takeovers, the most recent being with our chairman in the carpark after a game back in October! I, like you posted about it and was shot down by others saying it's all bulls*** and until proven it is just rumours but maybe you and like I should have done, we should of kept our info off of a forum as it could get these people into trouble although in my case Higgs didn't hold back in saying all will be delivered on the stadium front and that he has several investers interested! Anyway it's always a good read to hear possible/exciting news regarding our great club but yes I do know where others are coming from as there are a lot of wind up merchants out there! UTG A good starting position!

The chairman also told me a few things recently, I found them to be mostly untrue. The fat little fibber.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread although I don't really know why but no wonder BSS rarely comes on here with all the speculation going on

When was the last update given, a month or so ago? Let's face facts apart from rumours none of us have a clue what's going on, what other business would treat their customers like that? Whilst BSS is happy to come on here and deny rumours he doesn't actually tell us what is actually happening! The fact there now seems nothing stopping the UWE going ahead suggests there is something wrong if there's no formal announcement confirming start dates etc.

The fact there now seems nothing stopping the UWE going ahead suggests there is something wrong if there's no formal announcement confirming start dates etc. Or maybe we should have a New Years resolution to be more patient and less paranoid about this issue. Whilst I understand that it has been a while since any official announcement/information has been given, let's face it this would only be a bland "all things are on track and we are progressing well" statement. No facts. And quite frankly that would just set off those who wish to see issues where maybe there are none. Let's face it if NH came out and said we are doing "XYZ" there would be a whole series of threads that would say we should be doing "ABC" and more heat than light generated (much like all these threads recently). I am as frustrated as anyone on here with the delays etc. However I do accept that there may be some sensitivities around certain things and it is, on balance, best to say nothing until all is concluded. NH is between a rock and a hard place on this. Say nowt and get pilloried by the fans, or be open and hack off those he is negotiating with. Think I would suggest on balance he is right to say nowt at the moment. Our chance to discuss will be when he announces whatever it is he is going to announce.

Sainsburys are a proper business and they can't say anything either! Both sides say they can't because of the clause yet people still moan that the club should tell us. Last we heard was they were hoping to start building a few months into this year. If it is put on hold again, we will hear something then.

I just caught the end of a Higgs interview on the subs bench yesterday and he said there was just one problem/ hurdle/whatever (can't remember the word he used) to overcome and our side of the contract will have been fulfilled.

Yet its weird that Sainsburys et al are willing to talk openly about what is or isnt going on at Southend

I don't think we need to worry about our side of the contract as it's surely Sainsburys fulfilling there's which is the real issue?
I don't get this confidentiality clause excuse for not keeping us informed as if there weren't problems why would either party be afraid to tell us what was going on?

"I suggest we now wait for the official announcement in the near future". Pity you didn't start from this position! if we had ANY news from box 1 we wouldnt need overheard conversations

They are mocking your grammar. They are hinting that the word you should be using is 'specific' and not 'pacific' which is an ocean - hence the 'fishy' tags!! Just ignore them. my English and grammar is shocking....hold my hands up!
but being accused by one on here of being a s***h*** was insulting.... !
sorry for bad spelling.
No need to apologise for your grammar Gashead01, at least you took it in the way it was intended, most of us make mistakes and take a bit of stick for it, it's just a bit of gentle banter, most of us have given and taken it in good faith online for many years, although some precious pc sorts will have some of us sued for cyber bullying if they had their way, now being accused of being on from the other side now that is taking it too far.
