Stockwood Interview

Quoted from forza ivano

Anyone got a link to
a) Jason's interview
and
b) Filipe's apology for the unfounded allegations made in his deleted post?

A. Look at JT on Twitter
B. No.

Quoted from BenBB

Being on TV + people isolating due to COVID wouldn't have anything to do with this would it?

I would counter that by saying New Years Day bank holiday, no home game for a while, one would expect a much bigger crowd.

I would add that it wasn't a surprise to me that the crowd would be lower considering the run we have been on.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Haha. To be honest, I was quite shocked how many STs near us were missing today.

I’m a ST holder and I missed my second home game of the season today, the other being Southend because I was working US west coast hours at the time (oh the joys of the post-Covid world).

It’s a 160 mile round trip for me, which I usually tie in with bringing the wife and kids to see family. With the kids back and school tomorrow and needing to catch-up on ignored festive period emails, I elected to watch on telly instead.

Would I have made more of an effort and been prepared to take more ear ache from the missus had we still been pushing hard at the top of the table? Or if it hadn’t been on telly? Honest answer; probably. But all of those factors play a part.

There’s always a balance to be had between football, family and work. It’s only natural that we push the limits further for the former when all is rosy.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

May well have done. Just pointing out a fact. There was still a decent turnout for Southend which was also televised.

The Southend attendance was boosted by Youngs giving away hundreds of free tickets though

Here's the link. Would recommend a proper listen.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

I alluded to this at the time it happened. If you are out there as a club owner on Social Network, you are going to get criticised when you say certain things.

I think it was his view on the game if I recall correctly.

Things are great when things are going well. But owners will be a target when things aren’t. Sadly that’s how it often goes

If it was me that was an owner, I think I’d keep a low profile. But each to their own I suppose

On the whole, I think he comes across very well in interviews though

Who flipping let you back on here?

Thought he was banned?

Rob’s not had another phone call has he?

Anyway, enjoyed the interview, Stockwood speaks well as usual.

I do get the hump with Tondeur effectively painting the fans as unrealistic, impatient and always just on the club’s case for more money/players when it’s him & Humberside who ask Hurst every single interview, without fail, if he’s going to sign another striker. Tondeur alludes to it nearly every match and I think it was after Chesterfield, just bluntly said to Hurst that he needed a new forward, or something to that effect.

It’s the same in the Telegraph, making snide comments then hiding behind “some fans are asking…”. Think I’ve heard Hurst on 4 or 5 occasions now explain to Tondeur & mates that it’s not *that* simple, but they keep it up. So to then act like they’re nothing to do with the problem & point the finger at these “certain sections” of the fanbase is a bit galling.

I don’t think our fans are any more or less unrealistic than those of other clubs. If anything, we’re more passionate so our expectation levels do get out of kilter but I’m pretty sure that Jason and Andrew understand that without JT’s input.
