I would be temporarily upset if we got relegated, but would get over it . Sh!t happens, 3 teams must go down, and every season the newly promoted sides tend to be favourites to go straight back to the NPC. At least this time we would be much better suited structurally and financially to cope. Let's face it, we don't support Saints for the glory, the trophies, and the annual European campaigns - leave that to the plastic Mancs and Chelski. A Preston fan I work with said 3 years ago that the Premier League would be a nice place to visit but he wouldn't want to stay there, knowing that survival was the pre-season priority, and that a finish in the top 10 would be a fluke. The PL is SKY's whore, how many games will we play this season that kick off at 3:00pm on a Saturday ? 72 of the 92 teams in the English professional leagues do not play in the top flight, and every week probably more fans watch the NPC, L1, and L2 than the EPL - how many did we get into SMS at our lowest ebb ? ( Would have 'packed the park' at the lower end of the M27 ). As for our owners, the Leibherrs and the Don are business people, not sheikhs with more oil than sense. They expect the football business to run on sustainable grounds, and until/if SMS is expanded means we have a limit to what we can spend on the first team squad based on maximum attendances of 32K. Approach the new season with anticipation, tinged with optimism, and lightly sprinkled with reality - we won't be as bad as the worst of us fear, we won't be as good as the most optimistic think; we will lose matches we should have won, we will get points in games we will be expected to lose. We will finish where we deserve, based on our cumulative performances, if that's above the drop line great, if that's above 12th it will exceed my expectations. COYS.

Most in the office say we are welcome to Phillips, it's Tom Ince they want to keep hold of.

As they apparently do not, currently, hold a golden share, are they members ?

Reality is an illusion brought about by a lack of alcohol.

It never went away, the Olympics were just a distraction.

That would leave us with a minority Lib-Dem Government.

"Comment From helicopter It's when the club comes OUT of administration that the 10 point penalty is applied." But without a Golden Share, it's irrelevant.

"Jordan : The results/performances at Wimbledon and Bolton showed there is a side which could be competitive in League One" But that 'side' has now disappeared - the side they can afford played last night, and would not have got the results against the Wombles and Trotters.

Item 1 - Sanity, Portsmouth ? Item 2 - do you have deeds for a caravan ?

Wasn't that the second-opinion independent valuation supplied to PCC ?

Aren't the charges over the ground, not the club ? Could the trust simply choose to ground share with Havant & Waterlooville ?

So what is UnAppy's wage budget at the moment ?

Maybe they are blocking anything but PO1 ! Paranoid doesn't come close to their current siege mentality.

"We can be proud that the very first reason on Chainrai's list for withdrawing is that the fans were against him."

Your IP address can be traced to a geographical location, so if you appear to have an SO postcode they pull the plug.

I think this is true - technically TB currently 'owns' the stadium as he is running PFC. BC can only rent to the trust if he takes the club out of admin - ooops !

Which gives the best return for PCC ? Loaning the PST the money to buy Fatpipes Park, or allowing TESCO to develop the site once the 'stadium' has fallen down.

There was always an impossible conundrum : Portpin wanted the high earners paid off, TB had to find the money to do so. How else, given the FC rule, could he have done it ?

Do all of the alleged 1600 members of the PST have to pass the FAPPT ?

{Pompeyinsurrey 11:23 PM on 14/08/2012 Fair play to the supporters that went tonight, it's shameful that chainrai has absolutely no respect for that support, the manager or players. League cup is not important, frankly though I can't see us kicking a ball in the league, and the way things are that's probably a blessing. I don't think anyone, Birch, the football league or anyone else has the slightest clue how to deal with this almighty mess. } League Cup might not be important ? It might be their last game, that would be HISTORIC !

Monthly intake is no more than 1 pint, has to be 'proper' beer. May have a glass of port after Christmas dinner.

You forget Appendix P : "None of the preceding Rules and Regulations apply within the PO postcode area".

Let's be positive - based on most press predictions, when we finish 17th we will have exceeded expectations.
