  1. i can see your point from a Pompey fans position,but to get the stadium and all you say online will take a few years.If i was as wealthy as he is alleged then I would want quick results. The other thing that i find odd is that it now he appears to have backers!!! Why would a billionaire need backers? You of course dont care but there is still something not right here,Avram grant an isreali giving advice to a Saudi.Im sure that is not new but i would have thought not so public. It is a smokescreen i would have thought. Perhaps the carrot of the WC and free money may have swung it but i dont want the WC in England we will be paying for the Olympics for a generation why the WC as well.i would feel the same if it was SMS by the way.
  2. Funny how the Skates stick together and never argue against their own.Then we have of ours on here....
  3. Merovingian you have good sources at FP with your connection to POL(some quite dry and amusing posters i must admit) Are you comfortable or like myself wnder a little why there is nothing about this man? Storrie has unearthed a gem that Everton WHU Newcastle and others have not, even though his name cropped up a few weeks ago and their agents must have tried to derail your investment.Or has he just found another DR. It is quite a mystery. To me as an outsider i dant see why people are so keen to buy into PFC when there arte other more straigthtforward purchases. I keep hearing about the development potential of the surrounding area but I doubt it can be worth 100's of millions profit. If they are banking on getting a free stadium on the back of a WC then they may be disappointed i suggest.
  4. yeah it was a better atmopsphere under RL Lol
  5. I suspect if the club are wishing to change things they would have factored in the loss of revenue. I expect the policing and stewarding of fans in that area is more costly than it is elsewhere , not Northam of course but generally. The Itchen corner did generate a lot of noise towards the away supporters but not so much to the team.I stood there against Pompey and Norwich PL and it was awesome but they were certain games, this season it has not been such a force IMO
  6. so if you want to sit in with the away fans you have a right to do so? No you have been moved along once and the club if it wishes can do the sameagain. It wont in my opinion but hope the fans see sense. I have no info that the club wish to move the Itchen for the away fans , but it makes sense to push them around a couple of blocks and make the home presence in the Northam greater.Looking at the ground plan you can still give the away fans a corner of the Northam and a couple of blocks of the Itchen for the majority of games. That could mean the Northam will have a greater effect on the noise generated for the home team, whilst diminishing the away fans effect for their team. The Itchen will become less populated in the area near to the away fans as the ticket holders there will only be able to get tickets for freinds etc and so the casual supporters will get their tickets elsewhere.It will become less of a focus and fans will want to move to the more noisy areas. I am sorry that the Itchen corner is likely to diminish but if we get an end where the fans can make a difference it is a price worth paying for us all. Of course there may be other reasons and the club has no intention of moving the away fans, it is all guesswork
  7. Hey Phil, wasnt Ho subserviant when he wanted some info? Far from the arrogant we will be signing Ronaldo next week tones. It will return now they are minted again Lol
  8. If there was a consensus that the Chapel was going to be a kop end then Id happily move.I want SMS to be intimidating for the away teams...for the away fans not so worried as we are not Millwall or leeds, or even Pompey.
  9. I myself believe the stewards do well to keep their cool under stressful circumstances.I get tired of them having to get fans to sit down.many are obviously defiant and that makes the job harder.I have decided to move next season, as it is annoying getting up and down constantly. The fans behind us stand all game and as soon as we have sat down you get stand up if you love the saints etc. Funny if you are already standing but irritating 20 times a game. As for the arguement v B rovers ,i have much sympathy for the lads who had the arguement as they rightly pointed to the away fans all standing and us being inconvienienced. The steward was just doing as he was instructed by the main steward and of course the law of the land.I dont know what the answer is though to stop this problem
  10. from my standpoint i assume the club are not allowing non s/t holders to buy tickets to try and slowly reduce the fans wishing to sit there and so next season it will be easier to relocate the away fans. The Itchen corner seem determined to stand by the away fans for the banter.That is fine but they would get just the same banter by getting tickets alongside them in the northam? Surely their voices would be better served egging on the team from an end where they are likely to be heard by the team. I doubt the Chapel or the rest of the itchen can hear them. I myself dont understand why the concept of having 1 end full of vocal fans cannot be a great bonus to the days enjoyment rather than it being a disadvantage. When buying tickets for the semi final at Villa park did they demand to have tickets away from the saints end and alongside the away fans.Can you not see what a nonsense this is?
  11. thanks for that.
  12. I think it is part of a scheme to relocate the away fans around inot a less effective position and to get the home fans into the majority of the Northam. The fans relocated can still stand and 'have banter' with the away fans by getting s/ts close to the away section in the northam
  13. doesnt it ride on Gaydamek agreeing to sell lannd to the new man? If I remember rightly Gaydameks father prohibited him from selling to Al faraj diue to them not liking each other?
  14. The away sides always when they win the toss attack their fans in the second half. Perhaps the players think that the Chapel of Rest is in fact attacking the home fans.I will wager if the Northam becomes mainly home fans who are making all the noise then they will kick to the northam 2nd half.
  15. If you mean Mark, I dont agree. he is doing what he has been told by the head stewards. The club need to address the problem as it is annoying, as only the front 10 rows get to be sat down, while the rest of the northam stand, as well as the away fans.The club should turn a blind eye to it and let us stand and just make low key attempts to make us sit
  16. well if it is so dumb, how come 100% of the time the opposing team kick to the Northam when they win the toss. How come Liverpool and Man u always kick top the stretford or Kop second half. The second half is obviously the more crucial half as that is when the real business is done in a tight match.Everyl ittle thing in your favour you try and tilt in your balance.IMO the away teams seem more energised when they attack to their fans. It is my opinion only, but our home form has been poor since SMS has been opened and the majority of the time we have kicked to the Chapel of Rest second half. If the club shut the Northam to home fans and made me relocate I wouldnt worry if it meant the ground having a intinidating end that roared the team on in the vital second half period.Of course if you mess up in the first half and are 2 or 3 down it doesnt matter.

  18. It is a case of the greater good IMO. The team will be cheered on by the extra vocla support the Itchen gives us and they can if they want to 'have banter' with the away fans stand at the Notham Itchen corner of the stand near to the new away section. It is obvious to me that the club are doing the no non s/t holders to encourage fans like St jason to move.
  19. If the Al Faraj brothers really are taking over at Pompey the spiritual home will be calling, more transfers to be made etc etc
  20. I thought he beat 3 not counting the keeper.We are a L1 team and expecting to have an accomplished player on loan from a CL club..,,,,amusing
  21. That is what it is all about Charlie. Takes me back 40 years to my childhood whne I was starry eyed. Heartwarming, thanks for posting it
  22. Jimmy I hope you come around to our thinking.That would mean Lambert is playing superb every game
  23. who are we trying to intimidate the away fans and their moron fans or the opposing team? To me I want the opposing team not wanting to face our end, rather than the opposing fans saying 'Eh they were intimidating 10 rows away giving it large, never mind we won and there is a police escort'
