Ben and Jerry's aren't going to be happy with this. They understood they had an exclusive tie-in deal with Pompey....

She should call AA....

As luck would have it, I was just counting back through 5 years of threads on this forum and can delightfully reveal that this thread marks the 1,000th circular argument on here in that time frame. Here's raising a glass to the pointless debate art form and long may she continue. (cue a chortle invoking Chris De Burgh quip from our resident purveyor of wit) :-)

And the good thing about opinions is that there is more than one book....

Surely there are better things to do in Thailand?! Good evening btw :-)

0-1 Ashley Young Good individual goal. Norway very poor mind you.

Just kicked off. Come on England! Btw, since when did we play in black and blue?!

Come on the Hump! Eurovision... Televisual highlight of the year

Very special...

Given the tendency of past regimes to blabber about anything and everything in public, Cortese's lack of attention seeking is somewhat refreshing. That said, there is probably a happy balance somewhere between the two approaches.

'Saints Trust' are listed on the Supporters Direct website...but...the link goes to a defunct website... Make of that what you will.

When do I get a vote on the future of my country? (Great Britain)

Everton, Spurs and West Ham

No accounts for 2011? http://supporters-direct.coop/publications/?dc=sd_accounts

http://supporters-direct.coop/news/item/?n=15327&cat=sd_eng Friday, May 25, 2012 Supporters Direct today confirmed the appointment of David Lampitt as its new Chief Executive effective from 25 June. David, who qualified as a chartered accountant with Ernst and Young, worked for 7 years in the Governance Division at The Football Association where he was Head of Financial Regulation and Head of Football Integrity until 2010. He has served as English football’s representative on the UEFA Club Licensing Committee and was one of the key contributors to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play project. From May 2010 to February 2012 David was Chief Executive of Portsmouth FC. Prior to the club’s recent administration due to the collapse of its owner’s business, David successfully led the club out of administration in 2010 and safeguarded its survival through a major restructuring programme. Speaking on behalf of Supporters Direct, the Chair, Dame Pauline Green, said: “I am absolutely delighted that we have managed to attract someone of David’s calibre and knowledge of the issues about which Supporters Direct cares so passionately. He is highly respected both domestically and in Europe for his work within football over the last 10 years. This and his first-hand experience at Portsmouth of the challenges facing so many of our clubs gives him unique insight into our work in the UK and Europe to promote sustainable spectator sports clubs based on supporters’ involvement and community ownership.” Lampitt said: “It is a real privilege to be given this opportunity to help represent the interests of sport’s most important stakeholders. I look forward to working with some outstanding staff who should be rightly proud of Supporters Direct’s achievements, attracting over £30m of new finance into football and rugby league clubs since 2000. These sports continue to face significant economic challenges and I am very pleased to play a part in promoting the value that supporters and community involvement can bring to that process.” Supporters Direct’s annual conference, being held in London in conjunction with the Football Supporters Federation as The Fans Weekend on the 7th and 8th of July, will provide an ideal opportunity for supporters to meet the new chief executive and hear what he has to say.

ignore me....I'm an arse

Hmmm....ok.....cheers......so, that rules out: sash, quarters, halves, stripes (thin ones, thick ones, inbetween ones)....which, by my reckoning (unless it involves some wacky thus far unmentioned pattern) means it's gonna be of the "predominently one colour" (red?) variety.... Warm? edit: or there's always red and white hoops.....

Including 1894 - 1896?

Justin Dench ‏@JustinDench I know itd screw a lot of football clubs but how do they get away with it surely it should be treated as any norm business? Matt Slater ‏@mattslaterbbc Having sat thru a few of these admin hearings @JustinDench I'm a bit surprised at today's decision. Lots of judges don't like FCR
