14:00 Comment From Nick Are there any plans to introduce memberships again? I go to more games then a casual fan but not enough due to work commitments to justify a season ticket so memberships suited me. 14:00 Micah Hall: We are working on memberships but we will only sell them if there is value and people are likely to get tickets as a result of having one.

13:58 Comment From Harry H Will there be changes to match day magazine next season? I think they have gotten a bit stale in recent seasons. 13:59 Micah Hall: Yes we will revolutionize the programme and it will be unrecognisable

13:57 Comment From Barnet Hello Micah, thanks for all your efforts. Any chance of a small terracing section next year? 13:58 Micah Hall: Unfortunately it is not achievable but the issue of support for safe standing is under discussion with the Trust and fans' conference.

13:57 Comment From azzapfc Will we need to complete a credit check before having the option to pay monthly for a season ticket & when will new purchasers be able to apply in this way? 13:57 Micah Hall: There will be no credit checks and new purchasers will be able to apply in this way.

13:56 Comment From zmatt Thanks for the huge part you played saving the club, not only with your informative blogs but no doubt all of your work in the background. I accept this question relates to something quite minor in comparison to everything else that needs addressing. Will the pre-match build up be looked at? I remember watching Pompey pre-premiership and there being the Pompey chimes (I think) played quite loudly literally just before the kick-off, I felt this really built up the fans (and possibly players) and made a difference. Where as nowadays its quite subdued. 13:56 Micah Hall: Thanks very much for your kind words. There will be a match-day experience committee and atmosphere/social nights to try to get it right pre-match.

13:55 Comment From Grant Wilson In response to your comment about loyalty - surely that should be looked at over a period of 10 years or something? That is loyalty. 13:55 Micah Hall: We have got five years of data and will look to use it all.

13:53 Comment From notBaluChainrai I look at your Season Ticket price calculator but there not an option for previous season ticket holder in directors box, will efforts be made to make me feel more welcome at club in future? 13:53 Micah Hall: We have an ejector seat which is free for you to use.

13:52 Comment From Neil, Steve & Jordan Will you give The News exclusives as we (ooops they)supported the trust's bid? 13:52 Micah Hall: Absolutely!

13:50 Comment From John Utaka Hi Micah. I'm interested in a match day magazine subscription. Will there be a postage option on these (previously used) rather than picking them up at the game each week? I often head to the pub after the game and its inconvenient to carry. 13:50 Micah Hall: Yes, there will be.

13:50 Comment From Joe Michalczuk "My historical views" - what were they then? The fact I questioned the trust? The fact that I championed the cause of other buyers ahead of the trust? Plenty of Pompey fans would have preferred a buyer to come in with more cash. It hasn't happened. We support the club. Expressing an opinion that differs to yours isn't 'unfortunate" - it's called free speech. The fact that it's deemed 'unfortunate'and ridiculed by people who now sit in the directors box, doesn't bode well for the future of a 'community club'. Nor does the fact that differing views were silenced in the run up to the bid process - where is the transparency and the respect for a fellow Pompey fan?

13:49 Comment From Blue Angel Radio Solent said that the Trust had picked up the Legal Fees for Chainrai, from the Court Case is that true ? and if so how much are those fees ? 13:50 Micah Hall: I quite simply don't know the answer to that.
-
13:48 Comment From Paul You say that existing season ticket holders have to 13th July to renew, as prospective new season ticket holders and wanting to take up discounts available, does this mean we will not have the opportunity to take up any seats that might not be renewed ? 13:49 Micah Hall: If you wish to move your seat after July 13 we will accommodate that.
-
13:47 Comment From Terry Brisley Are any new presidents coming forward? 13:47 Micah Hall: The answer to that is simply yes.
-
13:46 Comment From Corps friend just to support the season ticket prices. Thet seem quite fair to me. We have to pay our own way now
-
13:46 Comment From Andy Colthup Micah have you repaid the council loan or when will it be repaid? 13:46 Micah Hall: What personally, Andy! It is repaid in August.
-
13:44 Comment From Corps friend Micah I have SEEN charges agaibnst Fratton from the PFA as well as from PCC and Robinaon 13:45 Comment From Banker I read that there are now FIVE different charges on Fratton Park, even after we've come out of administration. Why is that? 13:45 Comment From Trevor Oast I think you'll fine there may be 5 charges over the ground 3 from the PFA? 13:45 Micah Hall: Yes there are charges relating to the people who receive parachute payments from the club which fall away as they are paid and I believe they will mostly be gone in August.
-
13:43 Comment From Jack are there any plans to look at land outside portsmouth in order to build a training ground? 13:44 Micah Hall: Many sites have been and are being considered.
-
13:41 Comment From Alan in Petworth it seems a great shame that Linvoy is no longer an ambassador for our club - are there plans to involve him again? 13:42 Micah Hall: We are talking to Linvoy currently through PSEF to try to involve him. Personally I am somewhat dismayed over what happened with the Linvoy Primus Community Stand and wish to put that right.
-
13:40 Comment From godmcgarvey What is the ongoing relationship with Express FM as a company, will the anti trust actions of unnamed members of its staff be addressed or will bygones be bygones 13:41 Micah Hall: We have a very good relationship with Express FM and there are meetings upcoming in order to establish how we work together going forward. Bygones should always be bygones.
-
13:40 Comment From Bob There are likely to be away matches with fewer tickets available than Pompey Fans wishing to attend. Will you operate some form of loyalty scheme for fans who regularly attend away matches? 13:40 Micah Hall: Yes, there will be a rewards scheme. We will be consulting fans about this in the summer. We want to make sure that away tickets are distributed fairly and there is no monopoly on them.

13:39 Comment From revelator13 Congratulations on your new role and for everything you did to get Pompey to this new fan owned footing. Will pompeytrust.com now be incorporated into the official PFC website or will it remain separate? 13:39 Micah Hall: The Trust and Pompey will remain two separate entities - but very closely aligned.
-
13:38 Comment From 3 Marines Why is buying a ST with CASH cheaper? Or have I missed something? Consumer law says that is not right? 13:39 Micah Hall: Quite simply, cash is the only way we receive money up front. There are substantial costs with DD and with credit cards we only receive the money as each game is played.
-
13:37 Comment From Guest I want to by a ST with DD - the official site says the £100 deposit will be taken out by DD and then 10 monthly payments afterwards - on what date does the first £100 get taken? 13:38 Micah Hall: As I understand it, the date of payment will be selected by the individual fan. That'll be never then

13:34 Comment From tompfcjones Ricardo rocha said on twitter that the trust would need more investment from outside to reach the prem where we belong, is there any truth in this? 13:36 Micah Hall: Most clubs in the Premier League and top half of the Championship rely on funding from investors. However, the Fair Play rules are now starting to turn this debt into a competitive disadvantage meaning clubs will have to start living within their means. The challenge for us us to develop our means to the level they can sustain Premier League football. If you look at the stats the size of this club takes the breath away, as does the way it has been run.
