I looked on the club site and was saddened that the item about Marcus' passing had adverts around it.Is there no respect left in the world?

Rest in peace Marcus

You only have to recall the minutes silence to know about that lot. The media will still cover them in glory

why do we want to play Pompey????? They are on a no lose situation. We fill their coffers again, and they still have a squad that could beat us. Let them lose to a L2 club with an attendance of 2500

I felt that too many important people in world football, politics, and the underworld have too much to lose if the truth and ever came out. Iam as disappointed as anyone that they have not had justice served. It is not a case of me being right and the very many well respected posters who have a wealth of knowledge being wrong (it is not over yet and I still hope there is a sting in the tail)but just me being negative as they have had a charmed life since their last administration. Common sense would have said they were toast etc but I felt there were too many other factors in play that don't in normal business situations. Football IMO is rotten from the top of the game down. hence why people who try to do things properly never succeed in pro football.

David, a lot of people have had their noses put out of joint as their perks have been taken away. That has made them turn against the club. I saw on South Today when the installment plan was taken away a fan being interviewed and how bad it was. He was in his normal place saturday (am delighted about that) he obviously got off his a### and found another way to get his S/T. Whether he is anti NC I dont know but he got on with it. We have always had fans like myself who are basically club first and accept what has to be done and then another swathe who are looking for any reason to have a go. The fanbase is always going to be important to our success this season, last season we were superb as we were coming from adversity, this season the expectations are going to be a monkey on our backs.

Has Nick Illingsworth managed to get a ticket yet?

Good having you back posting

agree with all that except that you think it has been happening for the last 10 years 30-40 IMO

I don't think we should ask what you entered in error after your alcohol.

WSS that is fair. I notice that some of the vitriol is coming from some who had privileged positions under previous regimes. I do have my own reasons to be anti NC at present,but Im trying to be even handed and see things from the bigger picture and having a long-term view..

In what play did Shakespeare use that phrase?

It is disappointing reading posts like this. The feelgood factor is fading away and we will be back to the infighting we had over the last 5 years.

my wife is unbelievably happy as she married me. I can't see how single women are happy, as they always seem to be desperate to get married to make them so. Ps im am very happy and lucky as well

i back the club in the main but i do not see why the club are going to charge fans who are going to games a £10 fee.They know these people are in the main diehards and don't deserve to be screwed but applauded. On the other hand are there costs incurred by the club in providing these parking spaces? Insurance and stewarding perhaps

im at this time not going and not at all enthralled. I expect us to lose and will not shed any sleep over it. i will get some stick from some bournemouth fans, and even had a call today with them giving it large. The league games against them are far more important, our cup runs cost us last season

the lack of new faces are frighteningly obvious to me that AP has little future here. It is not what i want but my investment is not at stake.

I mentioned in the summer that i feared that the over expectation of the fans could re-rail us in our promotion push. I had not factored in a portion of fans who were going to try and destabilise the club as they didn't like the way it was run/ or had been shunned in some way.

I like Oneill but isn't it always a case that he looks good as a manager elsewhere but when they are our own we find faults?

I have sent my payment, Im waiting for Granty to re start my membership.It should be anytime soon as i sent it first class.

I suggest that the media will try and quash this as they know if we are successful the really big clubs may do the same and that would cost the media a lot of money. Players get image rights, why not their owners? Iam not in favour of this move but i can see why NC may feel the need to test the water.

It just shows how easy it is to get around rules if you have no shame. I watched the first 20 mins of their game last night and got tired of hearing how their squad had been cut, (ian Darke is a Pompey fan) and the Exodus, not a word how the nation and charities had been robbed

46m wage bill, he has done well to get that down to 14.

There you go, this will now backfire on any other club who asks for this. NC will now be able to say 'No sorry we can't let you have your own as we were let down by Plymouth, it's their fault'

i suspect Milner has been allowed to leave against his wishes
