As a Southend fan in exile I do find similarities with our stadium plans and the shrimpers.
Both have acquired the land both are in need of a new ground both don't currently own their own stadium both have chairmen who are into property development.
Both grounds were meant to be built at once and now in phases.
30+ years on and the shrimpers are still waiting.
Let's hope it's not the same story at the Quadrant.
Caution maybe needed.
Let's hope what you are saying doesn't happen with us.
But I don't think the Malkinsons will let us have another 2 years let alone a 30years in their ground.
But let's not forget that 100 hundred homes have to be built before they can start work on the new ground.
That's a planning stipulation and they can't get around it.
They are obviously progressing with the fundraising for the stadium with these chain restaurants planning applications being submitted.
We just need to be patient and keep the faith in our chairman.
