70's Mike

It's a good letter Joe - encapsulates the main problem with the Football League's punishment system. i.e. they don't punish 'outcomes' per se.

Good letter but based on the replies I have received from the FL then do not expect any answer, more likely writer will be banned from all football than FL get off fence

Not going to be many at 3pm on a Saturday

oh for the days when we had first class catering and a radio station, problem was had a crap team

Considering the amazing achievement of successive promotions, all the rumours about NA, the stadium, transfers, season ticket prices and so on I am surprised there has been no staement/interview or similar to inform us of his thoughts on these issues and the future.

 

I will add that I think the bloke is a legend and totally respect his part in our achievements, but if he has a fault it's hearing nothing from him for months and months. Thoughts?

less we hear from him the better, we have had enough of Chairman mouthing off

My next door neighbour, not been near SMS for 6 years, then at Reading and Coventry games. Thinking of getting a season ticke now.

but £700 isn't that much compared to average salary, so most can afford it.

 

and it's already been pointed out we are in the middle of the pricing table.

 

step ur trolling game up

not sure if salary is the issue for some it is disposable income that is the problem

a fair chunk of the chapel is colour coded as pretty cheap to renew..?

not in a "narrow wing"...?

 

and when the hell was the last time we had a 10,000 home gate in a league game..?

1993 ..? during branfoot protest.?

Please do not point that out Block 20 is the preserve of the old boys club

Slight correction there Mike:smug:

nice one

His Name is Ronny Davies

He's the leader of the team

The greatest centre forward that the world has ever seen

you always can rely on Ron to score the vital goal

and as for all the rest of them

you can stick um up your h*le

Trust is not a value required to own PFC.

money not needed either

218 for me and the bas*ards still are hanging on, there is no justice

Lots of words but nothing said

balancing the books so his debt does not increase should be interesting

better pitches....um, not really

over the last few years the quality of pitches at Temeraire has improved dramatically whereas Collingwoods, whilst there may be more space, have not, most of the football at Collingwood these days is played on the floodlit area in the main base

collingwood and Temeraire.

 

collingwood is a huge base...with vast facilities, pitches etc etc

they can use the facilities and not get in the way of the thousands of sailors there working/training etc

 

temeraire is not a big base at all

but has the better pitches, is in portsmouth and next to Gunwharf

You could have put MLT, Stevie Williams, a couple of Wallaces even Shearer at a push with these additions you could get a reasonable team that would hold it's own in the 1st division or what ever itis called these days.

problem with all this listing a team spanning 30 plus years, if you include Steve Williams, proves that Academy alone will not work

On twitter some skate called Lord Palmerstone is saying they've been kicked out of Eastleigh with their training gear seized due to lack of bill payment. Having to move to Collingwood (wherever that is).

 

This should be interesting....

Collingwood is a Navy base just outside Fareham, lots of pitches, I know they are looking for alternatives so suspect this is true

Try The Chilworth Arms (The Clump Inn), or The Plough in Portsmouth Rd, both used to keep their pitches up over the summer. It's many years since I played on either, but it may be worth a phone call, or try astro-pitches (The Sports Centre, Trojans, Cantell School, The School in Chandlers Ford etc).

Plough has not had a pitch for years, most Councils shut down on 1 May for football pitches, the two I control in Warsash are not available due to a six a side tournament and annual maintence on the other.

i believe Totton's ground can be hired at £120 per game

HAD a reply from FL re charity money. basically saying that they will take it up with the club if i know more details etc.

The FA and FL are really afraid of whatever is going on in skate land

Our average attendance was 18000 in 1984, the capacity was 25,000 back then. How were we limited by the Dell?

are you sure capacity was 25000, chocolate boxes were knocked down 2 years before?

We managed to keep away from the problems in the ground (really don`t know how!!) but it was the coach trip back to the airport (about 15Km I think) that was the problem. The coaches were under continual attack from yobs on little motorbikes who were throwing bricks, drain gratings and just about anything else that they could lay their hands on at the coaches. I was on the back seat of the last coach and by the time we got to the airport, we had about 2 windows intact. As you say, the airport lounge resembled a war-zone.

kids today do not know what us old fools went through, was a very scarey journey. Worst thing was there was little we could do to protect ourselves in the coaches

one of the all time great away trips, 72 hours of drinking,sea sickness

I remember how Corpse used to come on here everytime someone hinted that they might not be able to afford their transfers, clearly stating how all pompeys finances were revewed by the football league.... so are the FL to blame for the charity fiasco?

 

Maybe its another questions for the football league

 

Dear Football league

 

You will no doubt by now be aware that Portsmouth Football Club 2010 Ltd (yes those plucky souls in administration for a second time in 2 years) have recently revealed that just as in the first instance of administration, the 2012 FL Chapionship Community club of the Year award winners have collected monies from the public for charities and through 'clerical errors' have had these absorbed in to their large pit of debt, in effect using the charity monies to contribute to paying their players on premiership wages.

 

Now in the grand scheme of things this would not normally be an issue for the FL, however some of Portsmouth's plucky fans, who have throughout this sorry episode remained steadfast in that the club has done nothing wrong, have PUBLICALLY stated that all financial transactions during 2010-2012 were subject to the scrutiny of the FL league, thus implicating the good name of the FL in the cheating of the charities. I am sure the FL will wish to clarify its involvement in the financial oversight of Portsmouth Football Club 2010 Ltd to avoid any confusion in this matter, which is why I am bringing this to your attention now, especially as the FL', former head of compliance was the CEO at the club during which this financial oversight occured.

 

Otherwise from the outside, the perception might exist that the FL are happy with the situation. Indeed, given the current rules governing footballing creditors, the FL may find itself in the slightly embarrassing situation where Portsmouth Football Club 2010 Ltd conveniently deflect the bad Public Relations for non payment of the charities (did I mention for a second time in two years), to the FL, stating that they could not pay the charities monies owed as the FL insist the that players on £25,000 per week who have deferred 25% of their wages, be paid first... afterall they must need it as having to live on £18,000 per week must have been a struggle. Would the FL care to comment?

 

Yours sincerely

I hope they let them use condoms.

Al Mirage "in charge" the first time, and a couple of hand-picked Russian idiots the second time. Not forgetting the wonderful follow-up work done by the Android.

 

Our Chinny's a slippery eel, isn't he?

 

If he ever gets bored with the loan shark business, I think he has the skills to become a world class puppeteer.

Agent Chinny, unlike Agent Redknapp was tasked with a long term assignment to kill the few, slowly by keep giving them hope before finally pulling the plug
