Kappa are Pompey's "retail partner" - basically the club sold the rights to all their merchandise to Kappa a couple of years ago, so they run the megastore(s?) and there's some sort of profit-sharing arrangement.

Worth bearing in mind that, apparently, the reason there are loads of creditors listed on there with no value of debt is that new ledgers weren't created on the club's accounting software when NewCo replaced OldCo, so the creditor list is just a printout of all suppliers past and present. Not 100% sure that's right, but time will tell.

Should be able to do the upgrade at the weekend

Greg Halford.

St John's Ambulance owed a further £5544 Monthly wage bill of £1.8m, more than £21m a year!

Neither, he's from the Midlands. Think he might be a Villa fan.

Sorry, what?

Apparently there are now another 1000 terrace tickets on sale. No ****ing idea why they don't just put them all on sale from the beginning really

I bought mine online the first morning they went on sale and they only arrived on Saturday.

This was updated to 150 earlier this week (Tuesday, I think) on the morning of the deadline for buying the coach tickets.

Er, read it again...

1978.

Because it's a load of ****?

Where do I sign?

The Golden Share is the be-all and end-all as far as Football League clubs are concerned - without it, you can't start the season, so it's possible that the FL could basically blackmail them into accepting a points deduction at the start of next season in exchange for the share (if they can get that far), after all that's essentially what they did with us and Leeds.

Except the Football League can apply and vary their own rules at their ultimate discretion where they feel appropriate. I would imagine they never envisaged that a club who had been so royally ****ed would carry on where they left off having (somehow) managed to get a CVA agreed and then make no attempt to pay any of that money back. Just like they never envisaged that a football club would put their parent company into administration rather than the football club in an attempt to avoid the statutory 10-point deduction. It's a logical assumption that the creditors of the old Portsmouth FC wouldn't have agreed to a CVA comprising a total payout of 0p in the pound, which is now what they're likely to receive. If they'd attempted to exit administration on those terms two years ago, they'd have been hit with at least another 15-point deduction, so why should that not apply retrospectively?

This, basically. It's the only ground in the top 2 divisions I've not been to.

I don't get the point of Burrows' existence, tbf.

Yes, they will get their match tickets when they are en route, the same as we did. I do wonder what the police would actually do if 150 Pompey fans with match "vouchers" (not tickets) pitched up at St Mary's on Saturday threatening to cause a scene if they're not let in...

Don't forget most of ours were ****ty double-decker buses which seat 70-80, it's possible that Lucketts will do the same to fit as many people on as few vehicles as possible. 40 x 70 = 2800, which is much nearer a realistic figure.
