You don't need to build on greenbelt. There are plenty of empty properties above shops in town centre's (and you don't need to build sub standard flats from former office blocks) and there is also the greybelt, derelict industrial sites in now greenbelt land. All it takes is a bit of imagination and not trying to maximise every last penny of profit. |

I have always believed that PR is the way forward if a government/ parliament is going to truly reflect the wishes of the people, even if that means that frog faced Farage and his neo fascist friends get more representation better to have them out in the open and properly challenged.
That being said there are many forms of PR and choosing the right one is vital. I spent most of last night flicking between BBC, ITV & C4, and can't remember who said it now but the point was made that the link between a politician and their constituency must remain. You cannot have a PR system whereby politicians are chosen by central office based on the % vote.
Oh and Brexit was / is a disaster by any metric you would care to use, if you are in a trading club and then constantly stag it off and then leave it, on what planet do you think you're going to get a better deal? |

I believe they're called libertarians. Which is ironic. |

If you voted for Brexit as a point of principal on sovereignty alone then I suppose you kind of got what you voted for, however when the policies you wish to enact with your new found sovereignty mean you will have to pull out of the European (not EU) convention on human rights something has gone badly wrong with this country.
I suspect that most people who voted Brexit did so because they believed they'd be better off financially and were taken in by the lies that vote leave told and that's not exactly worked out has it.
Oh and let's not forget a healthy dose of racism and blaming immigration for all our woe's when it was in fact 14 years of austerity. |

The other side if this argument is that people may be expecting the current situation to change under a Labour government and to start to feel richer, be able to get doctors appointments etc, but I think there is very little wriggle room for Labour to play with especially having had to rule out most of the areas where you could potentially raise revenue by tax increases. I think the next election will be more important and may signal the abandonment of the political middle ground as is happening across the channel. |

Having just listened to part 2 of Jim's interview it would appear that John has gone. Not right bothered one way or other. Think we are still a few players light especially in defence now. Is there any news on the scholars who have been offered contracts have they accepted? |

Of course this was settled out of court at the last minute this is Ron Martin's playbook. He likes to play his mental games does Rom. The irony is that this wup was brought against the club by Martin's own legal team, he's not even paying his own people now.
I feel for the Southend fans, Martin is basically torturing them. I thought he had sold the club to the Australian consortium (who have put over £1m into the club) but it appears he still has them by the balls.
I no longer live in Essex so don't know the in's and out's of this situation but I believe Martin is trying to use this to pressure the Southend Council into subsidising some housing development.
Whichever way you look at it Southend will Always be in peril until Martin is finally gone. At least Bottomly was reasonably incompetent at screwing us over, Ron Martin is an expert. |

I asked my former boss (County season ticket holder) about him being a man of few words he said "Good player. Daft as a brush" mind you to be fair all he said about Kairo was "f****** useless" which I don't agree with. |

Yes you did mention about people not having or using technology you didn't offer a solution for those people, who I said would be least able to afford additional costs.
I think it's the way it's worded, additional costs at the end, it's as if it's in the small print. Instead of charging an additional £1 to print off a ticket at the ticket office just increase tickets by a pound and tell people you get a pound discount for printing it yourself. It's just about how you word it to avoid negatively. It just annoys me when you see something for say £20 online and by the time you reach the checkout you've got booking fees arrangements fees postage and f*** knows what else added.
For what it's worth I think the ticket prices are more than fair and will be great value if we have entertaining football to watch |

To be honest I don't see it as moaning about an extra pound here and an extra fiver there. There is probably so few people that this would really be an issue for that to me it just makes sense to absorb the cost. You could have also just added £5 to the cost of a season ticket and offered the plastic card if requested as most people on here seem happy enough with the increase in season ticket prices. It's more to do with how it is perceived by some rather than the actual cost.
Of course you have conveniently ignored the fact that not everyone owns a smartphone or has access to a computer/printer and that those people are far more likely to be least able to afford any additional costs.
Personally I won't be buying a season ticket this year, if the team starts playing good football that manages to keep me awake then I will be paying on the day and hope a half season ticket is in the offing about christmas |

First of all great news and my heartfelt thanks to all those that have made this possible.
If my maths is correct this deal means that 92% of the class A shares have now been purchased.
What happens to the remaining 8%? Is this what the existing shareholders such as those who bought them to fight off the hostile takeover and the trust now own on a pro rata basis? or are those shares completely different and essentially defunct?
I didn't my my shares to make money but it would be nice to still be able to attend shareholders meetings and just wondering what all this means |
