Surely can't be 3pm with a full list of fixtures ?

International matches weekend so the 3pm blackout on live TV matches does not apply

Werent were supposed to be on BT Sport live against Southend on a previous international break but they decided to show another match because of possible fan protests against the Southend owner?

As far as I understand he doesn't own the ground Sainsbury's do and have planning permission to build a new supermarket there.

RM owns the ground,roots Hall already has planning permission for apartment blocks to be built on it, on the provision that the new ground is built beforehand..

The sainsburys thing was yrs ago and they pulled out and built a new store nr the airport I think..

He also has planning permission for the new ground (with flats). I understand he wants to build a smaller stadium (with more flats) but doesn’t have planning permission for that.

Dont worry even if no buyer comes forward Southend will avoid been wound up, they have done several times in the past and know how to play hmrc as well as the league themselves

Southend had only 3 players on the bench today and had 2 sent off

So that is possibly only one on the bench midweek. Whatever the outcome of their next dance with death it is going to be unfair on some other teams in the league.

It could only happen in the Bananarama League

It’s probably likely that they could be out of business before we play them. Sadly that will mean them being kicked out the league, but we don’t need another Woking and Barnet situation like we did during Covid when they played youth players just to make up a side.

They can't, as they can't register them...

The NL are blaggers and make it up as they go along so I wouldn’t be so sure. Clearly this situation can’t continue.

There is a suggestion that if they can provide medical certificates for long term injuries then they can replace those players with short term contracts. Doubt the sendings off would meet that criteria though

The NL have dug a very deep hole for themselves

They couldn't register them with the FA whilst under an embargo.. ?
