  1. http://www.pompeytrust.com/news/proposed-family-section-improvements--fans-consultation Given they're all related, I'd always assumed the whole ground was designated a family section?
  2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35559141
  3. How are people voting? Either "top 3" or "miss out on promotion" are arguably equally amusing....
  4. The Wales v Scotland rugby match kicks off at 16:50 in Cardiff, so there won't be a clash with Swansea vs Saints football traffic, surely? Indeed, I would suggest that the rugby kick-off time is ideal given that it's too late in the day to affect Saints fans travelling to Wales late morning/early afternoon, and too early to affect Saints fans returning home?
  5. Any source material to corroborate this? (Other than agenda driven blogs and Daily Mirror articles?). Cheers
  6. What did he lie about? (Again, genuine question as haven't been following events closely enough)
  7. Putting the party political mud slinging, and the social media bandwagon hatred of Jeremy Hunt, to one side for one moment (yeah, I know, I know.... this is the SaintsWeb forum and all that.....) but what is actually unfair or unreasonable about the new contract? I'm not asking that question because I've read through it and come to my own conclusion. I'm asking precisely because I haven't read through it (at all, let alone in any detail). All I've got to go on in order to form an opinion, one way or the other, is what I've read in the press and heard on TV etc. Is there anyone here that's gone through it in some detail and still come to the conclusion that it is unfair or unreasonable? If so, what parts of it? Here's what Hunt said in his statement to the House of Commons earlier: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/jeremy-hunt-updates-parliament-on-the-junior-doctors-contract If we take that statement at face value (again, yes I know that's a dangerous presumption whenever politicians are involved), what is Hunt saying that is (a) incorrect and (b) unfair or unreasonable? As I say, this is a genuine question to those on here that are closer to the detail than I am. (my wife and sister-in-law both work in the NHS so I have some insight into internal affairs but neither have had much direct exposure to the Junior Doctor contract proposals) I'm open to persuasion that Hunt is doing something horrendously wrong here, but equally open to the possibility that this could just be the BMA agitating for an anti-Tory fight. Yours open-mindedly.... p.s. even James Blunt hates him... #gamechanger James Blunt @JamesBlunt I'm officially handing over my Cockney Rhyming title to @Jeremy_Hunt

  9. I guess if you can get away with fleecing the government and tax payer for tens of millions of pounds twice in short succession, there's no reason to believe that they can't do it again for a third time.
  10. Thanks again for all the tips guys. Much obliged.
  11. Highlights of last night's game:
  12. I was slightly amused earlier reading through the Twitter timeline of a certain 'Pompey Saviour' during the administration years. His tweets these days are mainly bashing the Government, HMRC, large corporations and rich individuals for tax fraud and evasion and how they shaft 'Joe Public'.... Well, the irony overload amused me anyway
  13. Cheers chaps - appreciated
  14. Will be my first trip to Swansea on Saturday. Driving there. Any advice/recommendations on best place(s) to park in Swansea? Doesn't have to be mega close to the stadium. Anywhere within 30 minutes walk will be fine. Cheers
  15. Of course they'll go up.... via a glorious victory in the playoff final at Wembley, their second home, to be ingrained in their folklore forever more. Although, to be fair, it would be the biggest achievement of their 4 year existence.
  16. Yes! Wet Ham score! Liverpool go out
  17. They're closer to the bottom half of the table than they are to automatic promotion. [emoji38]
  18. An injury time equaliser for Boro after Ramirez was subbed in the 85th minute
  19. They're still banging on about it.... When does the souvenir DVD come out? #tinpot
  20. Hark.... is that the sound of pennies dropping...?
  21. So, this Austin Reed fella....are we gonna Singer song for him or what?
