StDunko Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 On the plus side, it's been reported that Pompey have claimed they were driving Chris Huhne's car and have asked for the 3 points... This is clearly not true, as they wouldn't be able to pay the fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Back in 2011 I jokingly posted a picture of the "Stadium" in Poland where my future father in law coaches the Village Team. I recall something along the lines that the skates should be aspiring to this level of football. Then this picture gets posted.

The former Sunderland striker felt a hamstring twinge against the U’s and had to be substituted. It now appears he will miss more than the S****horpe visit as Pompey’s medical team seek to nurse him through it."

Pedro Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Saw their team coach at 12-15 today heading north on the M3 near Chandlers Ford.

melmacian_saint Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 A question for those who may know: isn't there a March deadline for any club to sign new free agents, by which point no new additions to any squad are impossible? Meaning that should those players not renew their contracts by then it's youth or nothing? I know the loan window closes by then too but I'm sure there's a worldwide FIFA rule that goes along these lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertySFC Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Pompey shops are closed to customers Published on Tuesday 5 February 2013 17:08 THE two official Pompey shops have closed their doors to customers. The Pompey Megastore, in Fratton Way, and the shop within Cascades Shopping Centre have stopped trading. The shops are not owned or operated by Portsmouth Football Club, but instead are operated by Scotland-registered firm Frogmore Retail Limited, known formerly as Kappa Retail Limited. Pompey spokesman Neil Weld said the club could not comment at this early stage, but confirmed the shops had closed. The News understands the company is on the brink of administration, but no official notice has yet been published. Customers said they had been told the stores would be closed temporarily, and the shops’ website would be back to taking orders soon. One said: ‘I was just told there were legal problems that need sorting out, but they wouldn’t tell me what they are.’ There is a notice on the site saying internet orders cannot currently be processed. No-one from the shops could be contacted on either of the stores’ lines, or on the general enquiries number when The News attempted to contact the company.

Pugwash Posted 5 February, 2013 Share Posted 5 February, 2013 Oops... @pn_neil_allen: #Pompey club shops closed by Kappa. http://t.co/6Bv8DgZV Thought I'd do a little research on Kappa, and came up with this little gem. Sounds like a perfect fit with the skates: a kappa is a japanese water monster. the kappa has a beak, webbed feet and a shell on its back and dwells under bridges, pouncing on any who attempt to cross the river. The kappa also has a bowl-like head, in which it keeps a small amount of water, and this is a key to apparently defeating this monster. when you are confronted by a kappa, your only hope is to make it bow to you, thus making the water fall out of its head and draining it of its power.
