I do hope it was not that berk with the beard and ponytail (must be a teacher) onthe LibDem party political broadcast. Was it Jeremy Thorpe? It has to be some liberal softie

The case is not about period of time but league status.Pompey are a sleeping giant , remember, they are in the top flight and are having to give tickets away!! I understand why with finances etc but as they are such a big outfit surely it is not unfair to question why they can only get 15k to turn up. I still have to have an answer from Ho about his s/t post.There he said that they would get more than last seasons 13.5k.

PL ,top flight football, you are sleeping giants and should easily sell the tickets. It is no use pointing to costs of tickets as when we were in the PL our tickets were highly inflated compared to lower league clubs.

I remmeber pre the club shop across the road where they sold old programmes. I think also the club openly tried to embarrass Spurs when they owded us money from the shop by putting a big thing in the matchday programme when we played them. I still have my plates and mugs after the cup final win. Talking of silk scarves I have 3 or 4 in mint condition from the league cup final. Is it time for silk scarves to return , after all we do have a great interest in the 70's?

I believe that he has a mental health problem.The way HR came out and defended him after the spurs fans gave him stick, made me think there is something underlying that he cant handle. Allegedly he liked Freddie Lundberg a lot.

IMO they have 569 great fans, I wouldnt have gone up there. I have no problem with the hardcore Skates, whilst I dislike their utter hatred (I think that is stupid) they are no diffeent to our fans, as they are loyal to their city/club. In fact they are better than Man U fans from Southampton in my eyes. I spent decades being told by them when they were in the lower leagues about sleping giants and how they'd easily fill FP when its capcity was 36k if they were in the top flight.Frankly thy have been found out and it is not the case, they are Wigan of the South.

i think it is unfair on Lambert to say our attack is toothless. He is Beattie with a better footballing brain IMO. he needs somebody alongside him with a sharp brain and eye for goal.

Sagas stats would be far worse I suspect.You have to buy a ticket to win the lottery.

that from the person who continually knocks the manager and team. Lol

Lol probably fair comment

It is all very difficult to pick what happened for sure.Fry initially impressed me but after hearing one or two things and how he seemed to stall then i made my thoughts clear on here that he was not very good in my eyes. It is now evident that the very professional people who bought the club feel somewhat the same.Add to that the exprience that Phil had and I would say we were lucky that Fry was saved by ML keeping his patience.If I was him Id have walked but it shows his commitment that he stayed the course. If ML's money was there waiting as was said the other night then LC in fact did us a disservice by helping that day.Not his fault of course as he I assume was doing what he thought best for the club.

They took 500odd people up there I think. Just edited it for you

I personally would love to have 1 kop end where all the singing fans congregated and gave the team fantastic backing.I cant think of another group of fans who are happier being divided around the ground.Even the Fratton end is away from the away fans. I suggest the ones wanting to stay in the same place try a different stand.I have sat in the Itchen corner and you cant hear the Northam due to the away fans.The same being if you sit in the Northam you cant hear the Itchen.Obviously you can when the away support is small but generally when the away fans are singing you cant hear them.All together in 1 place and we'd be superb. Hence why Liverpool Man u Villa and even Pompey get lauded for their atmospheres is because there i one co,plete end that gets the place rocking. It needs to change and we can go back to the Milton or even the Archers days , with one group of ans really getting the place going. If it meant going to th chapel one and all Id be for it

and IMHO perhaps which Fry you'd like to choose to pick

and of course employ 30 people to advise them on climate change in the Northam concourse

I feel quite uplifted after reading al ot of the posts on here.

Sorry to p### on your bonfire but the council will not even consider it as there are no traffic lights in the stadium.Unless they can put up at least 10 sets of state of the art traffic lights and put in cycle lanes we have not a hope

It was never clear hpow much Pinnacle paid for exclusivity.Fry Pinnacle etc only alluded to a dposit paid,never did they say it was 500k. I believe it is human nature to dwell if it means that the earnings will be higher if you do so. Fry got lucky by ML keeping his interest, I doubt there would be many fawning to him on here if he had kept Pinnacle and we had no club now. Fry had a duty to get the best he could for hiscreditors BUT he nearly ****ed that up. I would love ot know his fees, they would be eye watering. he will be toasting us yet again when his bonusses come in.

those 2 points lost ultimately made a massive difference to us as well.

Does anyone else think he runs a bit like Beckham? If we could find another winner in midfield like him we will certainly start to do well.The defence is looking intimidating, get a midfielder with hammond (although his 2 footed tackles worry me) and a goalscorer and we are sorted.

That was you with the big box of Kleenex then MB?

he is doing some light training with us, has been recovering from a hip(?) injury, . I think AP will assess the situation and see whether to take him on

Im surprised as oit doesnt have bewbs

Imo as an outsider he played poker and lost. He I beleive thought RL needed him and that by saying he was resigning that would give more power if RL asked him to stay.RL accepted the resignation and LM had been cut away. A misjudgement IMO. A great manager for us and he will always have a place in my thoughts due to those days.Fantastic, and had he had a board who backed him fully we may have had even more glory.

well how about the update on s/t sales. Your mate at the club had told you that they were at 12500 and would make in excess of the season befores 13500 to perhaps 16k. Now my contact had it at below 10k who was closest? I fully understand why the figures have fallen but it would be great if you actually stopped all the flannel and gave it as it is.No shame in being honest you know.
