Mr Biscuits Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 What amuses me the most about that particular portsmyth is the hope you can hear behind it. Under the current ownership there is a very clear intention for the club to remain on a financial even keel. I don't know what the current level of debt is however it's obvious that its a working debt rather than one built up through mismanagement. Certainly, the club assets make any debt we do have pretty much meaningless. It must really dig into to the skates to see us sitting pretty in a league which is awash with money, overcoming our issues with style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 They still have to accept that a potential home win against little Bournemouth's reserves is already being touted as a giant-killing. Less of a local derby, more of a stark reminder that pompey have become irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are looking for volunteers to help with some labouring next week due to the large number of successive home games. I'm possibly reading too much into that, but does that not suggest problems with the pitch? For what other reason would a "large number of successive home games" give rise to the need to employ "volunteer labourers"? #tinpot Edited 22 January, 2016 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in a very good position because of the tight ship we run. And we will try to put as much money as we get from the FA Cup run into improving the product on the pitch" As opposed to improving the infrastructure of the club? Same old Pompey.... Players > Infrastructure. One of them gets it...

OldNick Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 'These pillagers were intent on finally destroying Pompey with their greed but they hadn’t reckoned on the formation of the Pompey Rebel Alliance'. Funnily enough the greed was overlooked by the Rebel Alliance until famine arrived, now of course the baddies who bought them the glory are now seen as the villains. All involved had their part to play, the owners, the players , the fans and also the News who enjoyed eating off the pillagers table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints Fan Dan Posted 24 January, 2016 Share Posted 24 January, 2016 Long time lurker on this thread but couldn't help but share this brilliant nugget. The bestest can't fathom that Oxford didn't sell out their allocation for their cup final yesterday, which they still won. Disappointing that Oxford failed to sell the allocation for their big day out! I remember 79/80 season when our AVERAGE away support in div 4 was more than that. Back then it was a really northern division as well. Our only away games closer than Birmingham were Aldershot, Bournemouth, Wimbledon, Newport, Northampton and Hereford - all of these seemed like local derbies compared with the frequent trips up north. They were the days when everyone paid on the day and 8,000 to 10,000 Pompey would travel to some of those places. An Oxford fan attempts to speak some sense into them. You mugs still obsessed with crowd numbers ! So what we didn't sell out there are a few mitigating circumstances but I won't bore you ! It will be a great advert for div 2 football tomorrow I'm sure , enjoy it, cus that's where your at !!! But his efforts are futile as the deludedest still have the audacity to think a team doing better than them should apologise for not selling out their big day out and standing there in awe of the fattest of pipes. Imagine it, a tiny little club with no history who only recently got into the league system who are about 65 miles away - Crawley town, who have no fan base managed to bring down 600. Yet this 'established' league team who have just beaten Swansea and Millwall in cup comps can only manage 2000, when 2600 were on offer for a top of the table clash. They should apologise to the milton end faithful who could have come down and filled the ground up in their absence. Small club mentality. Oh the ironing. http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=617037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
