Fish - nice of you to ask. Why?

dad??!!!

I have - several times.

I agree, but in a new thread - not one that should have died a natural death several days ago. Sombody will have seen this for the first time and spend hours trawling through it and possibly gave up before seeing MB's addition.....anyway, he PM'd me and said he loved getting flamed ;-)

....but other than that, I guess you quite like him....

My birthday was in March, and nobody gives a **** about that either.

Sad but true I guess....I hope that those who think it will all be OK without them having to put their hand in their pocket again don't live to regret it.

Oh, to be a respected poster......

She did say you had a soft spot for her.

Doesn't that miss the point though? If you are really concerned about the plight then you would have bought a ticket to raise money (assuming you could afford it), regardless of how depressing you may have found the event itself. It probably would have been a good laugh if truth be told.

I think they were going to play the match whether it rained or not ;-)

Please don't quote me before I have corrected all my typos :-)

Why? Are you expecting to lose your virginity or summat?

It was defo poorly advertised - but then good advertisement costs money. I went to the evening do where the idea was first mooted in public, and I got the impression that LM and MO were definitely relying on word of mouth and genuinely expected a full house and a £600k gate (albeit they probably got more realistic later on). I was going to go but I just hadn't bought a ticket yet. How many more were in that same boat I wonder, and how many expected just to turn up on the day and buy a ticket like many of the league matches. Maybe they were worried that it would actually lose money and make the problems worse. Did somebody underwrite the gate money? That is what was originally suggested.

What on earth were you doing going to a bbq when Saints were playing Man Utd!!

Clearly not....damn I've done it again. Can't help myself.

I am not shooting the messenger for the rumour, just the fact that it re-opened this thread of endless drivel that should have died long ago. He should have started a new thread.....but then me replying to you is just exaccerbating the problem so I am going to shudup.

Oh, so the real reason has nothing to do with the fact that only 1500 tickets have been sold?

Don't forget the panic too....

Yeah - so accurate that he doubts it is true. He's gonna get flamed at 2:31 for suggesting it I'll wager.

Why did you reawaken this crappy thread you lunatic?? You end up getting your posting privileges revoked like the originator of this nonsense did.

How can you afford the driving range if you are out of work? :-)

I think you over-estimate our relevance to the real world.

I would have thought that any figure being touted about would *not* include the funds required to take the club forward in terms of investment, players etc. It wouldn't bother me what the figure was (£8-12m or 5p) as long as (from an Administrators perspective) it allows to the club to exit administration. If the buyers spent every last cent on buying the club without any scope for its ongoing viability then I would not have expected them to get past due diligence. In other words, lets not assume that a derisory bid means the potential buyer is without any other funds. Conversely, I would not want a sugar daddy to run the club at a loss, only to get bored and drop the club in the **** at a later date (as is going to be the case with Pompey). It would be much better to have something run on long term viability.
