83 thereader Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 05:02 PM I have heard this through the grape vine. Sadly Portsmouth will not complete the season. I really hope this reliable source is talking rubbish for once. He has informed me that Portsmouth will partner up with United Services Portsmouth. If you've not seen already, the United Services pitch on Park Road, which is the road leading into Gunwharf, is undergoing massive improvements. The entire pitch was dug up last week ago and a mass amount of draining systems have been installed. They have also been leveling out the grounds too. This is apparently in preparation for next season. It is believed that by the newly formed Portsmouth playing there, Gunwharf has the potential to further flourish too.I really do hope this isn't the case, but I thought i'd give you all a heads up on the possibility. PUP Um!! That's where HCC used to play methinks!

Im just enjoying the moment, you cant blame me can you. You lot are on the brink of folding, I wouldnt be doing my job as a Saints fan if I wasnt on here gloating at your miserbale existence.....hahahahahaha shalala and all that.

Hypo ho ho ho! You really have your ITK hat on today. Man didn't land on the moon, before one actually did. Pompey a big club! Only in their eyes. As Steve said, the ppp are handed out by the PL, and they will be waiting for the next sky payment, before they part with that kind of money IMO anyway. They have nothing to offer a decent buyer, so even if they do locate the Portsea village idiot, and get him to buy the club for a quid, he still gets nothing other than a shed load of debt.
-
I'm relieved now. The great and knowledgeable Hypo has spoken, and as his predictions of great knowledge, rival those of the toy man, then we can rest assured, that this is indeed the end game for sure.

Corp Ho ho ho..........even TB has admitted you are losing up to 8 million pounds a season, are you 'insolvent'? The question you have still refused to answer, is what would attract a serious buyer to your scummy club! No training ground, you don't own the stadium, you don't own the surrounding areas, so what is the attraction?

Tried a few, but they hate the tough ones.

Bless!!!!!!!!!!! 89 The only way is up Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 11:46 AM Warren peace, Vince is a property developer. Surely there is some money to be made from buying the club and the land and then redeveloping "Chelsea village" style. Supermarket, hotel, housing etc.

School with 700 pupils has only 26 native English speakers Byron Primary in Bradford school has fewer than one in 20 pupils speaking English as their first language, it has emerged. The primary has 26 out of 700 pupils who speak English as a mother tongue, with 96.3 per cent using another language. It has the highest proportion of children speaking an alternative first language in the Bradford district, where more than 23,000 of the 54,146 pupils use foreign dialects. The figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act, revealed that primary school children in the area speak in 140 different tongues, including Punjabi, Urdu, Bengali and Polish. Only London, Slough, Luton and Leicester have higher proportions of non-English speaking children, with the national average reaching around one in six pupils.
