Hmmm...looks like I got an answer even though the question itself didn't show up in the chat box: 12:12 [TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Neil: The first CVA payment of £2.48m was scheduled for April 1. However, that has now fallen by the wayside because of administration. This will be re-valued during the administration process and be considerably smaller. There will be no FL points deduction on this though. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So, it's official....CHEATS!!!

Let's see if this one gets through: "Hi Neil, Don't know if you can help me out with something my Saints supporting colleague has been banging on about thsi week.....he says that the first payment date for the original CVA was 1st April (i.e. Sunday just gone) and that teh Football League should dock us more points for failing to honour a CVA.....is that right or is he talking nonsense?! PUP! "

@solentsport: #pompey have extended the loan spell of Striker Chris Maquire until the end of the season

It's chat time folks! http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/webchats

One of the comments on there reckons the figure is nearer 1,000! (those who have a match ticket but no coach ticket). That sort of adds up....40 coaches x 50 per coach = 2,000 fans on coaches.....how many tickets did they sell? Best part of 3,000? Hmmm, chaos around the ground it is then!

Yours was predicting what might happen in the future, mine was stating it had happened. HTH Anyway.....in related news....The Sun are saying that we beat Newcastle, Everton and Fulham to his signature... (bottom of this Upson article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4237379/Southampton-ready-to-save-Matthew-Upson-from-his-Stoke-hell.html )

The Sun saying we are targeting him regardless of whether we go up or not: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4237379/Southampton-ready-to-save-Matthew-Upson-from-his-Stoke-hell.html

Perhaps Birch has uncovered the 'mystery' of the original CVA being artificially inflated (allegedly) to squeeze out HMRC....?

Ah, yep, fair point. Although had he still been at the Admin helm of Cheats FC on 1st April 2012 I'm sure we would have seen something similar happening.

Is there a copy of that letter that can be posted on here? Don't think I've seen it anywhere. When was it sent out? Cheers

IIRC, AA successfully moved the goalposts of the "contributions due" when he was Swindon's administrator. My anecdotal recollection of that might be wide of the mark though

Confirmation... @TonyHusbandBBC: RT @NabilHassan79: #Pompey Supporters' Trust spokesman Scott Mclachlan says they need to raise £8m to save Portsmouth: http://t.co/7bkOKzSz

@joshooiveld20: Great dinner with our japanese superstar yesterday! @ChunTadanari made him a well spiced chicken with thyme, he loved it.

Didn't someone post a few weeks ago that a club is only permitted to have 4 ticket promo matches per season? Pompey must have exceeded this by now..,?

1 defeat in exchange for 5 victories? Yes. Of course we'd take that. Goes without saying. Simple logic.

And therein lies the problem (probably)...

@pn_neil_allen: Interesting. Mullins hasn't made Reading's last 2 squads, Henderson can't make West Ham's and Huseklepp sub again for Brum tonight! #Pompey

Fair dos....but, if they've got until 2015 to 'dishonour' the CVA, why on Earth did Birch jump the gun a few weeks ago by announcing that the original CVA would never be honoured....? Doesn't his pre-emptive strike render the original CVA deadline (i.e. 2015) meaningless..????

I'm sitting on a train home from Waterloo with tears in my eyes. Thoughts are with you and your family. :-(

^this

"Decent"? Que?

Not really "on topic" but potentially interesting to see what happens with Rangers now they seem to be approaching their "end game" at a faster pace than our friends down the road.... http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/administrators-prepare-final-act-of-sorry-tale.17208582

Hmmmm.....things seem to be happening a little more expediently up in Scotland.... http://www.rangers.co.uk/club-news/article/2718884
