That's probably because you paid twice

How will we do that?

Are you an editor?

If there's more than 25 votes to be had mate, then it's only a matter of time

Why do so many people on here spend so much time moaning & whingeing about frigging ticket prices. If you want cheap football get yourself down to Fratton Park for gawd's sake. I can remember paying a tenner for a pre-season friendly at QPR in '09. That's four years and two divisions ago. Move with the times. FWIW I paid £30 a head last weekend to watch Man. City in Pretoria.

Or Jonah Lomu.

I thought it was only kiddie-porn they were talking about, which AFAIK is illegal to download or view in the UK anyway.

That Nicky Cortese bloke, he gets everywhere.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeling no sympathy, and hoping he gets a whole lot more. He deserves all of it. I don't think anybody is suggesting that the people who gave him a bit of a beating aren't guilty of a crime as well, and will get their punishment if they get caught. But anybody suggesting that we should spend more money on protecting vermin like him from the repercussions of his own actions than we do protecting his potential victims (that's all of us) needs to take a long hard look in the mirror. Personally I would set him free one dark night in Hereford when all the CCTV cameras are being serviced.

Nope. I wouldn't

Failed to renew what? Travel tickets to away games?

Playing more attractive football so the fans are willing to pay for their own travel would be an even better gesture.

Aren't you supposed to say NSFW or something like that, before posting pictures of bear bottoms?

And for one of those highlighted players, we would gladly have paid his taxi fare a year ago if somebody had offered us a million. So let's not get too fixated on today's "consensus opinion", because the only sure thing is that tomorrow's will be completely different.

I reckon he's having you on, mate, because that's not what he told me

So well done Norwich!

It's been mentioned before, but although selling tickets is a very good thing, selling season tickets isn't. Particularly when most of the phew have bought up at the heavily-discounted early bird prices of around £250 ex VAT (less for kids & concessions). That's an average of less than a tenner a head for Pompey. They really are going to need bumper crowds at every game just to reach their projected income. We were told (from memory) that they had budgeted on something like 13,500 gates including 8,000 STs. Selling 10,000 discounted STs means they will need around 15,000 average at every game just to meet their projections. I can't see gate money providing a bonus for Guy's player budget.

Fergie said on the record that he already has.

Aaah, the old metaphorical horses head.

It was Guly's fault, obviously, for going off at half time.

Every cloud has a silver lining, eh?

I haven't seen this contract, obviously, but I would be very surprised if there isn't a "no publicity" clause in the Main Contract between SFC and the Main Contractor. Filming on the site and then publishing the footage to the public without the owner's consent would be a breach of that term. The Main Contractor seems to be trying to mitigate the damage to protect himself. He is responsible for the actions of any idiots on the site, and exposed to claims from Saints.

Just what we need, a big name signing.

I don't suppose it's actually true either. But what is true is that he will have bigger lungs, from having lived and trained most of his life at least 4,000' above sea level.
