onlyotib Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 I’m praying as they are my second team but it is looking bleak. Sad times for everyone at the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 I've lost count of the number of winding up petitions now. It's hard to see how they can survive this time. Ron Martin, another in a long line of unfit and improper owners allowed to infect the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Surprisingly it's been adjourned again with Martin still claiming he is on the verge of selling the club. Would be interesting to know if he provided any evidence of that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66173807 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Sad times doesn’t seem that long ago that they beat us at roots hall to get promoted to the championship in 2006. I just looked at the line ups for that game and our team included Basso, Orr, Skuse and David Noble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted July 21, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Given the "go ahead" to pay, assume that means they will? I see they are going ahead with their friendly at Bishop Stortford tomorrow but have cancelled their friendly at home next Saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn't trust Ron Martin as far as I could throw him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby were in administration though and Southend aren't - yet. Though it's still a scandal that HMRC can claim to always insist on the full amount then do the deal they did.

I see, thanks, though @Mr Popodopolouswas referring to the deal HMRC did with Derby rather than their points deduction.

I believe the National League has its own regime but I am no expert on that. Sounds like it, again am no expert here. Derby got plenty of footballing sanctions but and I'm not blaming Clowes I'd nobody had taken over HMRC realise less but limited liability just allowing Mel Morris to walk away. I hope things work out for Southend and that they're finally rid of Martin. Edited August 23, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to go off on a bit of a tangent but I will always remember that day for three different reasons ; Gary Johnson keeping our squad on the pitch to watch the celebrations and instilled into us that was what we could achieve the following season.... It was Shaun Goaters last game, and there was a third section in the ground for Man City supporters - oddly before the game in one of the bars they kept putting money behind the bar to pay for our drinks The emotional scars from the yellow submarine trip that day will be with us for life. One of the more entertaining trips, but as always plenty of hilarious stories to be told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was telling that they had their biggest home crowd of the season last night of 6,075, which followed their previous highest (5,823) at the last home game against Fylde Something that caught my eye about those fixtures, against Fylde there were only 72 away fans, and at the previous home game against Maidenhead (4,748) only 41 away fans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Eastwood scored an absolute great goal at AG that season, perhaps more than one can't remember but they gave us a bit of a thrashing 3-0 iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
