I know you are in the industry FM, but these are direct quotes from the Editor who says he is still banned. Regardless of any other issues, they might have with licences etc, I think you will find that Echp photographers are still banned from STC by cortese.

I don't think he will be over happy.

I wonder what Mr Cortese will make of this. He is very protective of the "Brand"

Wait for Tim to come online - he'll know whether Ron is fit for travelling, would be a fantastic effort if we got him over. I'm guessing this isn't an official event - judging by some of the attendees

Whoaaaaa, slow down fella, I wasnt supporting the idea, just looking at it from a different perspective. The reality is the only argument against ground sharing (If we were to build an out of town stadium) is an emotional one and money commercial success, don't go hand in hand with "emotions"

Not a chance they are paying the club for them. They will be getting them from one of the other papers or associates and every photo they publish is a big fat fook off to Cortese.

As unpalatable as it sounds, I don't think you could question the commercial viability of it. You would essentially double your revenue. We might lose some fans as might they, but in the grand scheme of things the number lost would be irrelevant. I don't actually think we will move or increase capacity at St Mary's, but if it was ever looked at seriously, then any sane business man would have to at least explore the option of sharing with the fishy few. Especially if the location was Eastleigh, Hedge End, Fareham etc.

Or double up and groundshare......

There would need to be very significant other revenue streams .......like double bubble, so all we'd need is another local team and a stadium located between the two clubs. Anyone know another local team that could do with a new stadium, that would give us "double bubble". It doesn't bare thinking about, unless you are looking at it from a commercial perspective

Don't go there

\ How bizarre.......cehcked this morning and it was 52, seems it has gone back down. Cheers marc

It's gone up to 52 quid

I'm not sure even if we are still loaded that that will be enough to keep any rising superstars here. Once the big guns come sniffing, it is very very hard not to sell. Once a player knows there is a chance of the premiership and all that goes with it, loyalty goes out the window.

Good to see you on here again Patred. Looks like you took a bit of stick on the ugly. Shame some people can't see the wood from the trees.

Putting this on the main forum as I guess it will effect quite a few. There are no trains on Boxing day to London. Greyhound Coaches have just twigged on and what was 11 pound return on Wednesday is now 52 pounds. (If you leave from Fareham its still only 8 pound return) Might be something that Sturomseysaint can help with if he arranges coaches etc. Traditionally a really good following up there, but this might put a few off.

Apprently not..... http://www.royal.gov.uk/OutPut/Page4871.asp

Really???, same as a British one, but comes with a free castle / council house.

Ha ha pure quality......... all my account managers are getting that one next week.

No she is definately English.... she has an English Passport

We've all heard someone in our offices or workplaces use some of these....... I'm actually guilty of using "By close of play" (Not any more), but there are some real pearlers. For each phrase you can almost imagine the type of person who would use it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7457287.stm

Saw the same thing Sid, .... So whats all this then... a financial fair play league, could this be the proof that copry, pes, mackerill etc etc have all been waiting for? What odds will anyone give me that pompey aren't at the top? (Appenrently you can't buy your position in this league table)

I think the one at the back is Jeff Kenna and thought the middle one was Alan Nielson, but its not Neilson as the dates dont work

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Pretty much every team selection, two sackings and one more yet to be confirmed.
