More desperation to raise funds. Guys, I've somehow omitted to post details of our Power to the People fundraising effort on here before. Basically, everything we raise goes into a fund which the directors in waiting of PFC can request the proceeds from at any time. The aim is to support the club in whatever way we can during the court action. If you've seen the Power to the People t shirts and want to buy one, this is the only place to do it;-) Here is an update on what we are up to: Hopefully by the end of today there will be three more ways to support Pompey financially during this situation. 1. Kids size power to the people shirts available to order 2. 'Share' certificates from £10, £25, £50 and £100, these are effectively gift certificates and buy part of a nominee share, ie think of it as a donation to allow Pompey's 12th man to buy shares. 3. Auction of memorabilia on eBay linked from the site. We've got a signed framed team photo from the mid 80's, Alan Green's signed commentary notes frames from Pompey v Leeds FA Cup tie, some signed balls and hundreds of programmes! http://Www.pompeys12thman.co.uk - get 'em while they're hot;-) and thanks so much for your support so far. We expect to end the day above our first £1,000 in proceeds! (Site live for less than 36 hours!)

Genuine post on one of their forums. When the PST finally get control of PFC wouldn't it be great if Mick and co could arrange a friendly between the 12th Mans PFC and an ex Premiership All Star team ( from the Pompey Prem years ). Get the likes of Thierry Henry etc back to the Park. Apart from the obvious of seeing some great players again would also do the PST bank account some good Any suggestions of an Ex Prem team or players you would like to see. Have to be retired or no longer in Prem. Truely deluded if they think that will ever happen.

Even flogging tacky T-shirts now to try to get some much needed funds. As usual - you just couldn't make this up! LOL Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen Fancy one of T-shirts being sported by #Pompey models? Proceeds go to fighting Chainrai in court. http://www.pompeys12thman.co.uk/12th-man-online-store.php … pic.twitter.com/4qzygWGb

Don't want to cloud the thing with facts now do we?

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen Excellent blog from @SjMaskell - the leading female blogger on #Pompey. Accept no imitations!! http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=21167 Oh dear, they are at it again. The completed deal will be unique in English football - er why? Other clubs have done it before and without the aid of Property Developers. Indeed it would already appear Portpin have much more to worry about than the redemption of their charge. At a recent hearing of the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal evidence was given as to the way in which Portpin’s solicitor, Mark Jacob and the firm of Fuglers, were complicit in breaches of a solicitor’s undertaking in their conduct of affairs at Pompey in 2009 – 10. In addition, liquidators of PCFC Ltd (the company running Pompey that Portpin put into administration in Feb 2010), Baker Tilly, have issued notices asking for the return of monies removed from the club in contravention of section 127 of the insolvency act. It is very likely Portpin have received one of those letters. There is also a lot more to come from official investigations into the way Portpin have been involved with Pompey over the last three years. - umm I am sure the Football League will be looking at this as well. Expect that #pompey will be receiving notice of further points deductions due to financial irregularities.

That has just brightened up my gloomy Friday morning, a true epic post.

Just got to hope now that Chinny digs his heels in regarding Fat Pipe Arena. One without the other = pretty worthless, the two together is a whole different ball game.

Think we are going to need sick buckets soon Penny Mordaunt MP ‏@PennyMordauntMP Heroes of Pompey supporters trust, We salute you! The fans did it!! Huge achievement 4 the city and the national game. Let's get cracking!!!

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen My big question today is if Lucy Carmichael turns up at the #Pompey Trust press conference what toilet could she use? Such a comedy genius isn't he?

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen The #Pompey Trust have called a press conference for tomorrow at Fratton Park to unveil the share prospectus. Wonder what sort of comic book we can expect?

Seems the aforementioned Mr Hall has been busy. Simple facts about this blog; 1. it's written under a pseudonym. 2. Being part of a tax avoidance scheme is NOT a crime. The head of HMRC used to set these up all the time when he was in the private sector and had over 13 reversed by HMRC in this way. 3. the 'copper' brothers were cleared of any wrong-doing - they arent criminals and knowing them isn't a crime. 4. Stuart Robinson has shown proof of funds to TWO administrators and is ready to do the deal. 5. If you can be bothered to read this bilge then I suggest you examine it again for any allegation of wrongdoing. There isn't one against anyone. 6. The HNW guys have never claimed to be mega wealthy minted guys, they are Pompey fans putting in £100k. It's sad and comical. I would also remind anyone writing it, if they are really a Pompey fan, that it is now Trust or Bust, and they are assisting in an outright liquidation strategy.

1. Who cares. 2. Do you have photographic evidence to show all the other PL chairmen not wearing poppies?

Same team as on Saturday. QPR will have more pressure on them being at home, should/need win but definitely must not lose. The MUST win games for me are Norwich and Dreading at home. COYR's

Did not realise it was April 1st, could have sworn Christmas is still to come?

According to one of the blue phew's boards Anderson and Russell also want out now........ ahhhh shame!!

Interesteing snippets from Twitter. Steve Wilson ‏@pn_steve_wilson I saw @lukerodgers9 carrying a bag out of Fratton Park today. He looked like a man leaving the club but the management didn't confirm it. lukerodgers ‏@lukerodgers9 Just want to say thank you to all the Portsmouth fans, players and staff for your support. Iv loved every minute. Good luck for the season. Gary Knox ‏@GaryKnox @pn_steve_wilson I suspect he will be the first of many. Club wont be in existence much longer anyway if rumours are true.

Some feedback from the desperate few last night... Dire. Nearly left at HT. I have better things to do with my time quite frankly. It was absolute dire in all aspects. Why he didn't change the shape of the team I've no idea. Awful. I've been to a few games this season . The only one I enjoyed was yeovil because we won. I've got better things to waste my money on at this time of the year if I'm honest .

Little over 10,000 of the bestest packing the ultra modern arena last night as there were 1000 Brentford fans there. Of course the bestest phew would have loudly cheered and applauded their plucky heros off the pitch as they never boo them ........................... oh what is that they did boo them off? LOL

Absolutely

Check out the wording under the photo 'Nottingham County FC' ........ WTF? Wonder if that dickhead reporter Allan had a hand in writing that, about his level of miss reporting.

Ed Thompson ‏@edthompsn Atletico have paid off E33m tax debt to govt and aim to have cleared tax debt by Sept 2014.Player spend reduced. http://blogs.bettor.com/Atletico-Madrid-meet-their-financial-obligations-a197572 … Nice to see some clubs can do it. Why couldn't the skates?

The evening just gets better.. LOL

Considering the oppo, & who we had out, along with 'Appy saying it was 'not on his radar' (etc), don't think it's that bad. Not been an 'upper' of a week - just drifting whilst we wait for news. So all in all, sounded like we weren't going to take this too seriously, wasn't our first 11. Oh dear. Typical skate attitude again, believe that UnAppy was biging the game up yesterday saying that it would be a good game against good opposition and it should attract a good crowd... obviously that news did not get around the Republic of Portsea Island as only 7500 bothered to turn up. No big pay day to cover Tricky Trev's wages and the chance of the Trust to make some money on a decent cup run... LOL

:-)

Wotte was part of dear old Rupert's master plan wasn't he? That plainly did not work! NA has dragged our football club up from the lower reaches of League One to the PL in 2 years, yes it is tough going atm (we all knew it would be, if you thought it wouldn't be then you need to be certified) but when we were riding high at the top of the Championship all last season there was no one saying 'oh he (NA) won't cut it in the PL' was there? We had the nightmare start with the fixtures and confidence is low atm but given that we have a run of winnable games coming up lets see where we are come Christmas. If we have the fixtures of say, Wet Spam, then I am sure we would be in mid table and no one would be talking about sacking him. All this talk of sacking him is just bandwagon jumping IMHO, happens all the time when a team is in a bit of a slump. We need stability and sacking NA is not going to give us that is it?
