If we don't get promoted & /or win the court case they may well have to retake responsibility by putting the club in Admin and losing a big slice of their "investment"? The BoD clearly had a plan and that was build the UWE, when that project was announced I don't recall many posters suggesting they were mad and they should have turned Sainsbury's offer of a contract down? Do you think they would put the FC or the company that owns the stadium into administration, and why? We have no idea what the offer from Sainsbury's was or whether it was even the highest offer in cash terms. Having witnessed the ITV Digital fiasco it's obvious that just because someone is offering the most money they aren't always the best person to jump into bed with.

Reading between the lines a bit here but are you suggesting that the people responsible for running the club finances to where they are now will eventually take full responsibility and cover their own mistakes by refusing to be paid up? If so that goes some way to repairing the damage of 6 failed seasons under the current chairman. Would you also like to defend the ignorance of creating a plan, a vision, you know like that huge club Bournemouth did a couple of years ago, this board of directors have had since 1995 to get the food outlets working properly and can't even manage that. I don't want to even think about Wembley and another opportunity to not capture the data of fans via tickets sales and capitalise on it, basic business marketing which is very likely to be ignored yet again. You obviously weren't in the North Enclosure on Saturday then as there was an extra food and drinks outlet provided (didn't buy any mind !) No Dribuild, got in about 45 minutes to ko as kids wanted drinks, the cue to both huts went past the turnstiles past the club shop and under the stand, walked up to hut and even now staff take the money, get the food, cash the money, its so much easier to have someone taking cash handing a token and moving along a space to collect food from a small team (2/3) handing over food and keeping stocks replenished, keeps cues moving and encourages people to join a cue meaning more profit for the fc.

As far as Bournemouth's plan wasn't that similar to the 82er's? Find somebody daft enough to invest millions into the club and then hope they get success before they get bored/walk away? Although I'm not sure how Bournemouth can survive in the Premiership with a ground capacity less than ours when we are told we can only survive long term with the income streams the UWE will generate? Along with a small minority of people when it became clear that the plan was only going to be about build another stadium and they will come I attended a meeting that got very little support trying to ring alarm bells about no interest from box 1 to keep eyes on the here and now, you may recall it, Black and Gold, only a tiny minority could see troubled times ahead and then the inevitable happened, not once but twice which ended as well all know in the vanarama. One thing a small minority of people learned from this experience was that the vast majority of fans couldn't care less how the club is run.

Yep Took that lesson on board a some years ago Its hard though to not try and think it cann0t be true

Having witnessed the ITV Digital fiasco it's obvious that just because someone is offering the most money they aren't always the best person to jump into bed with. Not really sure what the difference is TBH, doesn't BRFC 1883 own the stadium and the FC, it not who owns what and why does the club only release one set of accounts each year? Regardless given the club's only real asset is the Mem we'll be struggling to pay off all the debts if everything goes goes. As far as Sainsbury's are concerned given only a supermarket chain would pay the money needed to finance the UWE, could we really trust Tesco etc any more than Sainsbury's who, until recently, probably seen as the most trustworthy of the big 4. I doubt the BoD's biggest critics thought Sainsbury's would walk away from the deal when it was originally announced.

Scintillating form and on collision course for a meeting with Ronnie to finally make Snooker a 'sport' worth tuning in to.

Update from Southend's AGM a couple of days ago
Ron Martin: "The reason I don’t make statements about the stadium is because it’s commercially sensitive. It’s not too dissimilar to somebody selling their house. In regards to Sainsbury’ we remain contracted to them. Whether or not they will build a store on Roots Hall I don’t know, I don’t think they know yet either. They certainly won’t build their very large store. They’ve shelved many schemes across the country. With that uncertainty I looked at other ways of funding the stadium without putting the club in debt. I’ve found a solution to that. We’re currently planning a revised planning application for the West Stand at the new ground and a comprehensive application will be submitted and registered by June. At that time I can make a public statement."

Ignore the latest debt fuelled bubble in Ireland and the UK still has the fastest growing economy in the EU. Odd isn't it, do the exact opposite of what you suggest and the economy recovers and is better balanced. You'll have to do better than that story. A dreadful piece, it ''forgets'' to mention or take into account the fact that we will then be free to trade on our terms outside of the EU.
