Unable to field a side for the friendly at Workington. It seems it was Workington who informed both sets of supporters of the postponed game. Been reading fans comments and it looks very serious over there despite Morecambe saying its injuries the fans don't buy it. If Morecambe went bankrupt ( which I would not wish on any club ) who if anyone would replace them in league two

Probably be a 23 team season at this late stage, wouldn't it?

We also could have 23 clubs in the National League, if Southend get kicked out today by the board. Over unpaid wages, National League fees, stadium safety certificate etc etc.

if it is injuries they cannot have that many signed or or youth players to make up a side for a pre season friendly. nothing new at morecambe in recent years as if i remember right they had a real dodgy owner a few seasons back where they were in another load of shit.

after years and years of different financial problems pools have faced its easy to have some sympathy with other clubs getting into similar difficulties. in recent years though the name southend seems to pop up on a regular basis and just wonder what the different owners they have had have done something about it all or just live in hope everything will go away. my patience and sympathy is quickly going with that club.

Desperate times for Southend fans, not nice to see, hopefully they get a new owner and survive https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-66211277

Ron Martin at Southend is an out and out ar*e hole.

I don't know why HMRC keeps delaying the final push?

He owes money all over the place, not least staff and the photo of Roots Hall this morning doesn't look good.

Friendly v Billericay today cancelled, not looking too good.

The greater problem is he owns Roots Hall (the ground) and has planning approval to build houses on it.

According to flashscore Billericay won 7-2 against Southend today

It was a team called Lydd Town from the Southern Counties league that they played

Yes the little Kent airport, Lydd, which I flew from to Le Touquet in France

Roots Hall’ Executive Apartments’ with the units named after famous former players, has a nice ring to it.

that should be a warning for all those who want the club to own their ground. not a lover of any council but prefer that body to a single ownership model. makes it even worse for their fans trying to reform the club as a pheonix. no ground to play on and having to do a groundshare as tenants of another club. this is what has held darlo back and will continue to do so. just watch bury rise up the pyramid now they are back at gigg lane like macclesfield have done because they had a ground to play on.

Well said Mr Accy.
Although not being able to own the ground might put a lot of prospective buyers off. The football authorities have a lot to answer for when you see the amount of charlatans get through the vetting net when it comes to owning a football club.

i would seriously be glad i any prospective new owner walked away just because the club did not own the vic. i,d be seriously worried by anyone who saw that as a game changer or infact buying it was the first thing they did when they came into the club. keeping ground ownership separate from club ownership is a must for the long term future of the club even with the best owner in the world.

Just found the game details and it was indeed Southend United who lost 7-2

Think Southend won today at Bishops Stortford, won 4-1

Morecambe, Fleetwood, Accrington, all seem to be struggling as of late.

Im sure the end of the Blackpool FC boycott is just a massive coincidence. Just a coincidence it must be!

Odd remark
Morecambe have just been relegated from their highest ever positions. As Mr Singh says they were promoted with a budget similar to ours so have been out of their depth for 2 years in League 1. Now suffering from the lack of finance of trying to cope with the extra costs and in financial trouble. A good advert for Mr Singh's policy of not bankrupting us to compete with the mega money in sine ckubs.

Accrington similarly have been batting above their level in League 1 and finally the lack of financial muscle couldn't stop Mr. Coleman's valiant attempts to keep them up with quality loan signings.

As for Fleetwood, last season they achieved their highest ever League position, hardly a sign of struggling. Now they get the local derby with Blackpool. As another club batting above their level they will likely fail at some point when the money runs out.

I would say only Morecambe of these are in trouble with the lack of funds and missed wages.

The trouble is, Mr Singh doesn't realise that its not just about cutting costs, it's about maximising income too. I wouldn't hold out his approach as a model to follow.

You seem to know more about Mr Singh than he does himself. With your vast knowledge of how he thinks, what makes him tick and your masterful ability to predict what he will do next, even though he hasn't decided himself, I'm surprised you haven't approached him with a view of you carrying out the role of "personal assistant and confidante to the Chairman", thus enabling you to put him on the straight and narrow with all things apertaining to running a successful football club. :laugh:

And the Fleetwood chairman just got banged up for 13 years and had to step down.

fleetwood might survive this season after their owner is doing his time with things in place for the new season. accrington and morecambe just showed what clubs can do if they get lucky in the transfer market. both clubs on an average saturday get half the fans pools get and especially stanley have to rely upon away support to keep em going. thats going to drop big time next season and cannot see em selling out the whole of their away part of the ground to more than a couple of teams. no local derby games that fill nearly half the ground with away fans.
