Perhaps it was unfair of me to mention Tom and for that I apologise, this lack of communication has been going on since Stewart left.
It is almost as if there was a deliberate attempt to do the exact opposite to Stewart, perhaps somewhere in the middle would be more appropriate, but the silence I find quite insulting to the fans.
Sure there are times, with transfers for example, where disclosure could be harmful to negotiations but more effort needs be made to let the fans know what is going on with the general progress and not just at the occasional fans forum, after all, what harm could that do?

As Paul S has mentioned there is probably a bit of a hiatus until Tom has everything up to speed. It is encouraging that there is at least some progress that can be seen withing the stand. I can remember many years ago when the Park End at Goodison Park remained derelict and empty for many seasons before the current stand was built. Also AFC Bournemouth had no structure at all at one end of their ground, then known as Dean Court, until seven or eight years ago. In both cases there was little information forthcoming about the respective clubs' plans for those areas. I wouldn't be too concerned for the time being, though I do wonder whether Nuffield Health, the main advertising sponsors for the stand, might have a concern.

I reckon it's going to be quite busy on Saturday without the green stand. Southend reckon they will need more than the allocated 700, and then there's our improved attendance....

This is on the Southend forum
Just introducing myself to you all; I'm the disability liaison officer at Eastleigh FC. I appreciate you've probably heard that one of our stands is being renovated but wanted to reassure you all that we will have seating available by Saturday!
Initial allocation is 700 tickets but this can be increased (nearly 500 sold so far) if necessary. There are 530 seats in the Nuffield Health stand plus standing in the East terrace and wheelchair users can also be accommodated at pitch level in the former.

About quarter number of seats installed, I assume temporarily, on the away fan side. Faded red seats, perhaps the ones replaced at Sunderland a couple of years ago. So Southend 600-700 catered for tomorrow.

My guess is that the gradient of the seats is going to be steeper due to the building work underneath, which looks like it’s going to be toilets with possibly an entrance to the side of the stand. Just a guess mind you.

Steeper gradient would also make the stand look more impressive aswell as there’s a high roofline which can look a bit pointless when bc the seats are low down.

My guess is look no further than who owns the ground.

Was going to say the same, things have ground to a halt! Whatever is being built is going to take a long time to get finished. Seems a bit pointless starting unless you are going to crack on with it. New toilets by the look of it , not sure what else is planned, nobody does, shouldn’t really be taking this long.

Hope we are not paying for (the none moving) digger hire.

Hope we are not paying for (the none moving) digger hire. Classrooms for the academy scholars apparently . Don’t know what the hold up is.

According to Alex Pike on the radio today, the work is continuing, the AC for the classrooms has been installed and it is an ongoing project throughout this season. I guess we are working to a tight budget so it will take a while for the project to be completed & putting the seats back in will be the final part of the project.
