Jimmy_D Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 .... what happens to their spot in the League? do they push up to replace them all the way through the football pyramid? Would Saints have an extra play off spot to aim for with the top 3 going up automatically, or would the two play off finalists both go up? Or would they do it by one less team being relegated in each league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 They won't go under. Even if they go into admin, somebody will come in for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 I think the Premiership just goes down to 19 teams for the season, with one less relegation spot. That seems most logical. No fan deserves to see his club fold, not even our greatest rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 8 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 8 August, 2009 I don't want to see Pompey fold, it might be funny for a while, because the banter would carry on, but it wouldn't last long before Pompey were forgotten and there was no banter at all. Trouble is if they only relegate two teams from the Prem it leave the Championship one short, so they then have to relegate one team less... they can't promote one team less because that would leave the Prem one short... so then if they relegate one less that leaves League 1 short... and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy_D Posted 8 August, 2009 Author Share Posted 8 August, 2009 Saints related? Yeah, if Pompey go under, we've either got one less relegation spot to worry about, or one extra promotion spot to aim for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Samuel Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 Wouldn't want to see Pompey go under, there would be no one to direct our hatred towards. And we can't have Bournemouth as our biggest rivals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 I understand there's already a contingency plan in place. They will merge with a local non-league team to become Portmouth, Havant & Waterlooville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 I would hate for Pompey to go under. wouldnt wish that on anyone, and it would be the end of the rivalry. to answer the question i would assume there would just be a 19 team PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes k8 Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 You guys should know, you don't go under in the Prem. However if relegated that is a different matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 8 August, 2009 Share Posted 8 August, 2009 touble for skates is, if they do go into administration, they won't be selling them as premiership side but CCC with small fan base. Once in admin, with points deduction, no investor will be thinking they can keep them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fan deserves to see his club fold, not even our greatest rivals. It would be terrible if the Skates ceased to exist. Pompey fans would end up supporting Brighton, and the Seagulls don't deserve that. Mind, we might win back a few of of our fairweather fans.
