The test will be when we start in the Premiership next season. I wonder how many of our current players will make the step up? Thats when the comparisons can start.

Any sound businessman would require at least 25K ST Holders for three years or so and sell outs every week, before he would even consider expansion at SMS. We did not get that many when we were in the Premiership before and I doubt we will again. Anybody who thinks otherwise is deluded, so once and for all, let's forget this expansionist thread that seems to come up with alarming regularity these days.

Corp should understand that the debenture is registered at the Companies Registry not the Land Registry. It is a Floating Charge allowing PFC to trade with their assets and would become fixed in the event of default. Portpin Ltd may not necessarily hold the deeds of Fratton Park and that is why there is no charge appearing in the Land Registry charges register. Notice in the Companies Register is notice to the world that a charge is in existance and this takes preference over unsecured creditors and other potential chargees. Any lender or large creditor always searches the Company Registry to see what is already outstanding as they would have to give priority to this.

Exactly, we have no alike cover for Rickie if he is injured.

If I was a curled spring whippet, I would be fast asleep in my owners arm chair with my snout under my front paw after that.

Must remember to bring my own Seat Back if I am fortunate enough to get a ticket

He is growing with experience and as S-Clarke said, I am not nervous when he is in the team.

Fonte,Cork, Guly, Lambert & Connolly were not up to scratch for me today. Saved by SDR and Kelvin with Chappers working extremly hard.NA admitted after the game that he should have made more changes following Derby & WHU.

Mostly once a month so you had better halve it.

Despite all the peripheral debate on the state of the Training ground, I would support Matthew Le God's thoughts that when we are in the Premiership, we shall be less likely to loose players at such early age as with Walcott, OXO and Bale. It depends how successful we are, which may determine how long they stay ie Wayne Bridge

It is all about tactics. Something NA can impress us with, unlike Uncle George when he was as SMS.

I think they play rugby on this pitch too. Hopefully not too cut up so early in the season, so as to prevent us stroking the ball about.

His interview on Saints Player after the game was great. He is so happy to be playing with Saints and in the Championship.

If it was not a homosexual relationship, I cannot at all see what Fox is getting out of all this. I never thought of Fox as gay I must admit, but then, I never thought Rock Hudson was.

A very good football player but a rubbish person I am afraid.

He is still on bail after all.

They have also got that ginger chap Crainie, who WGS brought to SMS, playing for them at left back. He is even in the Scotland Squad.

I sent an e-mail to Chris Hayler, Marketing Manager, a short while ago about this. There seems a particular problem when the video on the big screen is on, rather than the pitch side announcer. The half time scores are quite clear too. I suggested a pilot in the Chapel whereby the speakers are moved about 12 feet under the canopy in order to "trap" the sound within the seating area. (Similar to those at Plymouth Argyle) He rang me and explained that the club are aware and replacement of the speakers and the screens are on the to do list , but priority is to be given to the ticketing system as this is revenue earning. He felt that should they try my suggestion and it was successful, everyone would want the speakers moved and this would be expensive at this time.

I can remember Wigley taking off Anders Svenson at Craven Cottage when he was playing out of his skin. This gave rise to a chorus of "you don't know what your doing" from our travelling fans and by then, the end was near for him at SMS.

Inclined to agree with thoughts, but increased inome and reduced costs from improved ticketing will lead to more revenue and thus better players. I believe the guide on the Stadium Tour told me once, that there can only be instant replays when Sky are at SMS in full, as they are the only ones who have the appropriate video equipment.

The Screens are on the list to be replaced as are the speakers around the ground, but the new man is giving priority to the ticketing situation, as this is a main revenue earner.

Agree, he has been superb this season. What a difference when fully fit.

Rickie MOM because of his thinking, passing, first touch and the way he took those 2 penalties. Richardson close 2nd and my, he has stepped up to the plate this season. Great to see Lee Holmes come on to put over some excellent crosses and a very good goal. He was thrilled and very humble in his post match interview on R.Solent

Sky also said that on Sunday too which annoyed me.
