Out of interest, if someone did buy us and honoured the existing debts as they stand, would the threat of a 10 point deduction be removed ?

Could we charge more for the last few games ? What about the National Lottery ? They donate to various organisations, charities ect.

Would fans be against paying an extra £3 to go to the last 3 games ? It could raise an extra £200,000 or so.

Don't you have to be a registered fundraiser before you can do that ?

'God save our Saints'. Someone else can do the lyrics.

Thats how I see it. An initial couple of million to reduce the debts and proof that you can cover the running costs, which I would guess to be no more than £500,000 a month over our income. We were running at a loss of about £800,000 a month a year or so ago, so Im hoping £500,000 is the worst case scenario. Problem could be if we go down a league, are our top earners going to have their wages brought into line with our reduced income?

At the beggining of the interview, I thought the administrator said the club decided to call in the administrators. Don't know if this makes a difference or not.

60% + of the clubs turnover is quite a big difference.

Would you be happy to sell our ground for re-development and ground share Fratton Park ?

Not just on the field but off it. If we are being asked to fill the stadium to try and ensure survival until the end of the season, then I think the players could take a pay cut or go a few weeks without taking a wage.

Roger Johnson asked that question to the administrater.

If the fans are being asked to do their bit, then what about the players ? Lets see them do their bit and play for nothing for a few weeks.

We might not exist for one of our last home games, but as long as Lowe and Wilde are gone you are happy.:smt017

Crouch it was then.

Fecking Solent are sh1te, they would rather talk to Silvia bloody Sims than the most potentially important day in the clubs history. No football club means a lot of lost listeners.

Cut short interview.

This sounds desperate, sounds like they are woried that we wont be able to see out the season.

The man that has a burger van and answers to the name of Tris hasn't responded yet.

If we did disappear, this forum would also disappear. Then what would we do ?

Worries me too.

Its surviving till the end of the season that counts.

What was the outcome of Dave Merrington/Fulthorpe approach ? Could they be waiting for the 11th hour ?

Its not just this forum though, how many of you bump into an old mate or someone in the pub and the moment Saints are mentioned it all goes quite with just a shake of the head and rolling of eyes. No one wants to talk about it any more, its to depressing.

But i doubt it will for this season.

Just a few days left until a points deduction for this season only, if we go into administration.
