I thought Quisling was some kind of Harry Potter reference.

I'd rather everyone just used people's names. It all seems a bit childish to me.

Adams has been appointed apparently: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/7693323.stm

Premier Inn have got rooms for tonight for £67 £79 at Jurys Travelodge £60

So you're too busy arguing with people to actually do any moderating? Ok.

Hmm, good question. By the way, I reported something earlier, and nothing has happened. I'm sticking to my view that the complaints system is an elaborate hoax.

He can't infract himself, he said so earlier.

I'm going to sit there and spend all match counting the people in the stands. It will be more interesting than the match. Or at least I would, if I could be bothered to go.

I agree with that. I'm not convinced that complaints actually go anywhere, it's all a hoax.

Fun with numbers threads.

Yes, it's a part of it.

In what way?

What's the lowest attendance so far? And who was it against?

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but how come Obama is referred to as black? He's just as much white as he is black. He won't be the first black president, he'll be the first mixed race president.

I must admit, I often wonder if we could have redeveloped the Dell, maybe getting it to a 25,000 seater and retaining some character. I wonder to what degree that option was explored.

Did it say why they couldn't do kids for a quid?

Sounds good, but the facts don't bear it out. Nearly every time we've had a big crowd in the last couple of seasons, the team have played sh1t.

Music playing while the game was actually in progress, what was that all about exactly? I missed the kick-off in both halves because they were still playing music.

I'm sure if it happens, then Corp will tell us it's a temp measure until the new owners come along and hire Mourinho or something.

Mmm yeah, me too. I hadn't even noticed that they'd vanished.

We could possibly put the part that owns the stadium into administration, and keep the football part going. The problem is that we'd then have nowhere to play.

I've got a feeling that the stadium loan is secured against ticket sales. If we defaulted on the loan, Norwich Union could in theory repossess, and then sell the stadium on for as much as they could get. That wouldn't be for anything like the amount that the loan is worth. SLH would no longer be liable though. What would probably happen is that the club would reform as a new company (Portsmouth, for example, did this), and would then either have to come to some kind of arrangement to buy the stadium, or find somewhere else to play. You can see, therefore, why NU would rather not have to repossess. Even if we had to reduce our payments for a while, that would be better for them than the alternative. As to why those clubs didn't lose their grounds, the simple answer would probably be that they didn't have mortgages on them. Not sure what the situation was at Leicester.

Attendances are down I suppose.

The difference is that a house can always be sold to someone else who wants a house. There isn't much of a market for a second hand stadium.

They sell them in the Spar outside Southampton Central station. I rediscovered them last week.
