Proably as simple as the PST Valuer is not prepared to stand up in Court and swear the oath! So, the 4 or 5 of us who were proposing to meet at the George shall we decide when the situation is clearer later today/tomorrow morning?

OK, Hatch, Clapham Saint, Torres, Gemmell, Trousers, Joe K, and Steve G, are we all still up for meeting at the George pub on the Strand at say 12.45 ish on Friday lunchtime??

Strange isnt it, -10 on the South Coast, but somehow that statement from the FL has made me feel so much warmer inside!!

Cattermole is out; and they have a tough run of fixtures coming up (Reading, Man U, Saints away, then Man CIty and Spurs at home). This is our chance to put some real daylight between us.

Imagine how desperate Farmery will be this time next week!Welcome to the really real world Colin.FP is worth £4M on a conservative investment basis only, even as it stands (i know its hard to believe!) then on top of that the fixed assets have some value, if only in scrap metal - all their pikey fans could have told them that for free!!

So thats at least 3 of us so far then? Torres, Gemmel and myself, any others? Discreet identity badges on show?

Me too as well, Friday lunchtime, convenient watering hole nearby??

EIEIEIO! Up the PL we go! hopefully it wont be raining for once!!

Seen game on Football First, second Ramirez penalty claim blatant. why go down when he was in on goal FGS!!!!

Getting back to the serious issue of Fatpipes Park and its value, on a simple 'investment' basis IF the football club pays a 'market rent' (hypothetical tenant of course as who else is in the market) of what was it? £275,000 per annum? then on a multiplier of even 12YP (8% yield) thats £3.3M. Given current yields/strength of covenant(very poor) would private money invest at 6/7%? Just cannot see on what basis judge would go with £2.6M at all.

Best chance we will get for 3 points at home since the last game.

As with all valuations, what are the assumptions? As it stands (depreciating asset), assuming a planning consent, or just plain old hope value? Ironically, the Miland plots are worth more with FP and vice versa; be interesting to see what firms each side has used to produce the competing valuations (I am trying to find out who). FP is 5.35 acres, £2.6M or £500K an acre seems a steal to me...Just think of all that CGT which will be payable when the PDT make a huge development profit!!

Amazing - a few months ago, he would have been everyones choice way ahead of Puncheon. Oh you fickle lot, all of you......

Still makes me choke when I see 'Community Club of the Year'.

I think he still has alot to do to earn the 'collective respect' of most Saints fans, me included. But credit to the guy he has clearly worked hard in the background.

get in all for one and one for all!

The new (if it goes ahead) Chairman (?) Ashley Brown said on Wave news at 7pm last night 'only two things can stop this going through; 1) we do not get all our pledges; 2) The court does not order Portpin to sell us FP. PKF have been blinded by the bull**** spouted by an opportunistic property developer promising millions if X, Y and Z happen. There has to be something in the water down there, all those fish to feed 5000, truly a miracle. Simply nauseating.

As I have said before, Sellar have a ransom strip on the access to the Miland land. An exclusivity does not amount to a great deal, no money has changed hands yet.

B&Q Landlord (sellar) has planning consent to split their unit down from 120K to 50 + 70 Food, so Tesco will go in there as B&Q downsize - they are NOT an option for revelopment of Miland + FP. sellar also have a ransom strip over access to the Miland plots to the west of FP, which Robinson is trying to buy from that administrator. FP is not really worth very much at all either on its own or as part of a comprehensive redevelopment. Sorry PST.

All Yoshis fault I am afraid; he was facing FORWARD when he got the ball from Cork; he had time to look up and either float it in to Lambert or go wide to Shaw who was in space; so why bother passing back to the GK who had even further to 'lump' it forward if choosing that option? Leave the nipper alone. Maybe he didnt see Shaw though? I still maintain we should dump the all red kit as players out wide blend with the crowd. Get some proper white stripes back in ASAP!!

Rubbish I sat next to him recently on a plane up to Manchester and was surprised how skinny he looked! He is a clever bloke so I reckon he will make a good go of it.

Confirmed on OS now.

We just need one of their guys to make a cock up, like Vermaelen did last week, hopefully Vorm, its all fine lines at the moment and we need the luck to be on our side for once! A decent referee would help as well, cannot believe that Mason who we had for Spuds performed so differently on the next televised game!!

Cork for JWP; Mayuka for Puncheon then we have a team.
