jjsaint Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 We were all that age once!.....though I don't recall me and my brother being used as media tools to attack religions with fabricated BNP-supported claims, or as poster boys for misleading PR campaigns for the extraction of cash from the community. But it was a long time ago so I may have forgotten. Either way, the cheeky little pluckster is old enough to know not to chuck a grand down a black hole! F*cking hell. I didn't realise it was from the same family. Poor little mite probably has less DNA than a tapeworm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterside.saint Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 Quote from Barker in yet another fascinating Factless article justifying why one of there youngsters needs to go out on loan. Is this a bit of a subliminal message, preparing the fishy few for next season? ‘The Skrill Premier ........ has changed. ‘Ninety per cent of the clubs are full-time now so it’s just an extension of League Two. ‘You look at your Grimsbys, Lutons and Wrexhams, all those sort of teams. They are equally as big and as financially stable as most of the teams in League Two, there is not a lot in it.’ Ha! looks as if the penny may have dropped ...

Saint in Paradise Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 Even my wife, who came from Gosport and who liked to wind me up about Portsmouth when they were doing better than Saints was horrified when I told her about that child. Without any prompting from myself the first thing she said was that the trust shouldn't have taken the boys money she then went on to agree with what others on here said and believe me that hasn't happened before.

The9 Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 Let's face it, there's no way on earth that kid had £1000 in the first place, it was just a publicity stunt to get the family more attention and some dimwit at the club thought it would be an appropriate, as opposed to abhorrent, thing to do to broadcast it as part of some warped desire to show the "commitment" of some daft kid who was in no position to be making that kind of decision even if he HAD been involved in it.

saint si Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 http://www.communitypompey.co.uk/faqs/ Who can purchase community shares? Anyone! As long as you are over the age of 16. However, if you wish to buy a share for a young person see the answer to the question: Can I buy shares for my children, grandchildren or a minor? below Can I buy shares for my children, grandchildren or a minor? At present almost all Community Benefit Societies (like PST) have chosen to have a minimum age requirement to be a full voting member of 16 years old. Community Shares can only be held by full members so if an adult wanted to buy shares for say their Grandchild or son or daughter they would need to be held on their behalf by the adult until they reached the age of 16, with those shares being transferred to the minor when they reached the age of 16.

saint si Posted 21 January, 2014 Share Posted 21 January, 2014 Digging around the prospectus and website again (what better way to spend an evening), there are several references to providing more detailed financial projections... From the prospectus... More detailed financial analysis can be found on http://www.communitypompey.co.uk. Following the link... What will our budget look like? Portsmouth Football Club can’t continue to lose money, nor do we believe it has to A summary of the finances appears in the offer document, and a more detailed set of financial projections with commentary will be added shortly. So how's this transparency thing working out? Does a Community Benefit Society have to publish its accounts? If so... when? Could be entertaining...

Goalie66 Posted 22 January, 2014 Share Posted 22 January, 2014 (edited) No it wasn't. You weren't old enough to recognise what football was for quite some time after you were born. And a damned good thing that you weren't born on 14th November 2004 or 29th January 2005, as by that reasoning you would have been a Saints fan, they having beaten you twice already that season. The reason that you support the Skates is plain. One only has to look at the slag who is your mother to realise that since you were born, you have probably been wearing Skate pyjamas, sleeping under a Skate duvet, looking at Skate wallpaper and listening to your family bad-mouthing those f*cking Scummahs. I know that it is far too much to expect, but if he had more intelligence, he would realise that in the majority of the few short years of his life, the Skates were in the same division as us when he was born, but then fell two divisions. But then we climbed back to the Premiership by the time he was 7 whilst they had changed places with us in the third division and now a year later they are in the fourth division whilst we continue to climb even higher in the top flight. I suppose the poor mite can console himself that there was another occasion afterwards when they also beat us 4-1, even though they were two divisions above us, but he must also grow up eventually facing the prospect that the chances are that they will never again be above us in his lifetime. But like most Skates, he will be able to console himself that they beat us 4-1 in the ever increasingly dim and distant past. When I am confronted by any Skate who bleats about beating us 4-1 twice I always agree that it is still true. That always gets them a bit confused and then retort.

hypochondriac Posted 23 January, 2014 Share Posted 23 January, 2014 It starts! I noticed yesterday that the Trust are pitching further share sales at the need to secure our own training ground - which is a worthy cause, of course. I do think, however, that they haven't really made it clear and communicated what they would do with further share income and, of course, it is hard to sell the possible 'purchase' of a training ground when there are no details available on a project. I also noticed on FOL a long thread speculating that the training ground project will be funded by a further injection of cash from the HNWs reducing the Trust's shareholding below 50%. All in all this issue could escalate and I think some clear communication from the Trust is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was the original that towed the damaged HMS Victory back from Trafalgar, was later used as a heavy duty doglead by Churchill as he walked the royal Corgis around Southwick prior to D-Day, and was last seen keeping back the two million fans on Southsea Common.
