Sponsorship consideration

[Wowbagger]

At least it is Gilbert and not Fred.

A simple resolution might have been Rose and Gilbert

A simple resolution might have been Rose and Gilbert

not a simple solution really, the sponsor are a company called "Gilbert & Rose"

You simple solution would require the company to change its name, with all the ongoing costs involved in new for Sale signs, stationery, shop signage etc, need for publicity of new name so customers can still find company, new web domains  etc


A simpler solution is to call it the "West Stand Sponsored by Gilbert & Rose"

[Cudzoziemiec]

Or just the Gilbert & Rose stand. No need to mention that it's the West stand.

Greater Manchester lost Bury from the EFL but have gained Stockport County.

Following Hillsborough, all stands are required to have the geographical location in its official name.

You would never forget the 999 call for the ambulance at Hillsborough where it took several minutes to dispatch ambulances because caller was referring to stand and operator asking where it was.

[Cudzoziemiec]

I did not know that. Thank you.

[Hair_Today_Gone_Tomorrow]

I did not know that. Thank you.

i've just been trying to find the call online. It was from memory shocking and for example meant all ambulkances ended up on Main Road behind Kop, rather than at the Leppings Lane End.

At for example, the Leazes End is what fans call it, but on tickets and officially its the North Stand. The Gallowgate is officially the South Stand etc.

Well done, bonny lad!

Ah, interesting, and understandable.

I see Southend are making a really determined approach this season to getting out of the National League.

Still, if they go down again, the owner will have an excuse not to build the new stadium after building the housing and retail elements of the proposed development. He could then also sell off part of the Roots Hall site as they won't need such a big ground. In fact they could groundshare with Southend Manor

It's a big one tonight, the opponents being Halifax Town, who are two places below Southend in the table. The boredom is palpable.

Is Southend in a time warp?

Southend played Halifax last Tuesday (16th August). They drew 0-0 and reached the lofty heights of 5th bottom (1 place outside relegation zone) as a result. Next up is a home game with  former Premiership side Oldham on 20 August

Harlepool's 7th match of the season and almost their first win.  But, of course, they managed to concede in the 4th minute of time added on.

[Hair_Today_Gone_Tomorrow]

Another defeat for Southend this weekend. This time at home to Torquay United

[Hair_Today_Gone_Tomorrow]

A good weekend for Southend this past weekend.

no defeat, and even avoided conceding any goals
