I'd definitely take the words of a site called Football Friends Online seriously

What a game

Pompey's £5 discount offer isn't much in the grand scheme of things, most clubs who take advantage of those 4 "local" offers tend to go mental on the discounting. Bradford City are also doing a local promotion for tomorrow's game against Hereford United. Home fans can get in for £1, while travelling Hereford fans are still being charged £20 Any odds on the away end being empty?

But was at Pompey earlier this season (played against us)

6 options for right-back

I wonder what Danny Graham, the second-highest English scorer in the Premier League this season, thinks about Campbell playing two games this season and getting a call-up ahead of him. Also baffled how Stewart Downing consistently gets picked despite being consistently ****.

I particularly liked the bit of the article where the writer was clearly distracted and thought their fingers were in the right place on the keyboard but ****ed it up

£16m CVA to Baker Tilly, £1.6m to HMRC for unpaid PAYE/NI from December/January, about the same in unpaid wages for January.

Have you replied to any of the messages? If so, that's why you're getting loads. Scammers send messages out to completely random numbers, hoping to get a reply, which gives them the knowledge that it's an active number. They then sell that number on to other scammers.

HMRC won't necessarily be the problem, although they'll have a significant input. Baker Tilly, as supervisors to the old CVA, are owed £16m, and as they were installed as supervisors by HMRC, it stands to reason that they would probably vote against any new CVA which dilutes the old creditors' return even further.

He's quite touchy, isn't he?

It still puts the loss in the 18 months since they came out of admin at around £17m. In fact, that means that the loss is much more than £100k a week...

Even though they *did* give them money only last month... seems very odd.

If Lampitt did anything he shouldn't have done legally, and it's discovered, he'll get done for it. It doesn't matter that he's not a director anymore.

Christ, they've just made 30 people redundant and the first question to him is "What is the situation with signing players?"

All well and good, but as has been mentioned, sale-and-leaseback hasn't done much for other clubs, and of course you need an idiot willing to buy it first. With various charges, security, etc and the uncertainty over whether they'd actually get paid any rent by the tenant football club, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

Wonder if Lampitt will be asking for his old job at the FA back?

Who's posting as me?

Not exactly new news, tbf

Oh look, another News webchat from 1pm

Their home record is what will keep them up, if anything, I reckon. Their remaining fixtures at the Ricoh look pretty kind, to say the least, while away from home they've managed a whole 3 points so far. If they're going to stay up, they'll have done the business before the trip to St Mary's.

Yes, without a doubt. For what it's worth, even if Pompey had beaten West Brom in 2005, we'd have gone down anyway, so their claims that they "sent us down" are inaccurate.

*points and laughs* You're old

I'd be inclined to say that is nearer a fact than a conspiracy theory, to be honest. If there is no football club to play there, the council wouldn't give it a moment's thought before revoking the "leisure only" covenant on the land.
