Danbert Posted 25 September, 2014 Posted 25 September, 2014 I love the way they're dressing up repairing their dilapidated shack so all the pond life don't accidentally burn to death as "boosting the capacity of the stadium".

Danbert Posted 26 September, 2014 Posted 26 September, 2014 There's hope for the portacabin redevelopment project yet The successful side will claim Johnstone’s Paint products to use on a redecoration project at one of their facilities.
Hatch Posted 26 September, 2014 Posted 26 September, 2014 Competition Entered Successfully Thanks Johnstones Paints, hope I win,.

rallyboy Posted 27 September, 2014 Posted 27 September, 2014 I see that some Southampton graffiti has been scrawled on their memorial to players lost in WW1. It looks like it was done by a ten-year-old. Whoever did it is an effing moron who doesn't understand rivalry.

Ohio Saint Posted 27 September, 2014 Posted 27 September, 2014 A solid 0-0 draw in the bottom division today. All the skates will be high sixing their sister wives again.
Waterside.saint Posted 27 September, 2014 Posted 27 September, 2014 In other news, the bestest were unaccountably held to a goalless draw by... Hartlepool Presumably the ref and his assistants were all overawed by the occasion, again. When will they get that elusive rub of the green?
B Rabbit Posted 27 September, 2014 Posted 27 September, 2014 Had a 12 team accumulator today (£1) ... 6000/1 Guess who let us down....

Lets B Avenue Posted 27 September, 2014 Posted 27 September, 2014 Hate to tell you this, so were we. Although that was in League 1.... Yes, but I think we took more than their "magnificent support" (Radio Solent) of 501 and we had to go on a Tuesday night. Both years. Tinpot indeed.
teamsaint Posted 27 September, 2014 Posted 27 September, 2014 Guardian have a knowledge page on the closest derby record, not good reading for the bestest. That is very, very funny indeed.

rallyboy Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 They are clearing the fat and preparing the official tablecloth because there's a big announcement looming, a nice positive one to please the easily-led... What I've heard I find difficult to believe, so I look forward to seeing the detail, but brace yourself for a plucky and glorious start to next week. It's not something that will bother us too much but they'll see it as progress.

That much-stained odiferous tablecloth could probably do with a good wash, although the unenthusiastic attitude towards soap of folk on Portsea Island makes it unlikely.

suewhistle Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 Rallyboy, you tease.. Will there be laughter from us involved?
rallyboy Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I'm not sure there will be laughs, they'll be more surprise than anything, but there might be laughs if the details don't quite stack up....
Badger Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 I'm not sure there will be laughs, they'll be more surprise than anything, but there might be laughs if the details don't quite stack up.... or is it a long overdue announcement re their 70,000 all seater amphibious aqua-stadium
Essruu Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 they've finally signed up Riquelme ?! Seen in Burger King at Gunwharf Quays with Maradona, apparently.
Badger Posted 28 September, 2014 Posted 28 September, 2014 1984 was a good year......... P.S. Sha-la-la..... Yes it was. What does 1984 mean to most on here ? George Orwell ? Or Steve Moran, last minute winner in the FA Cup Fourth round ?
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 29 September, 2014 Author Posted 29 September, 2014 I'm not sure there will be laughs, they'll be more surprise than anything, but there might be laughs if the details don't quite stack up.... Can't imagine what they are going to announce but one thing I am sure off it will not withstand proper scrutiny. Trousers and rallyboy will be on the case!!!!
Gruffalo Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 Can't imagine what they are going to announce... That all of their legacy debts have been settled way ahead of schedule, apparently..
The9 Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 Get on Twitter and start on @AgainstLeague3, far too positive a spin, I've already mentioned unpaid CVAs and diluted fan "shares", but I'm on hols and cannot be bothered to persist. Can I suggest something about the pure amount that's been written off in order to enable them to exist, and then something about the non fan ownership, and the fact that these settlements are again not paying the full amount owed, and of course the fact that the parachute payments were more than enough to have paid the players off months ago but they chose not to.
Weston Saint Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 If they have settled their legacy debts ahead of time good for them. It means they will have money from their above average gates for Div 2 to compete. However, whilst owned by the fans the ceiling will come in the 1st div. Likelihood of financing for better just will not be available to them. A tin pot club with a tin pot ground does not breed confidence
Danbert Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 http://www.fcbusiness.co.uk/news/article/newsitem=3439/title=portsmouth+complete+legacy+debt+payments?
Danbert Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/18/portsmouth-care-community-club-pompey "We had a loan of £1.45m from the city council, which we paid off in two months, and a loan of £1.2m from our property-development partner, Stuart Robinson, which we agreed to pay off within a year and that's on schedule. We're ahead of schedule on the football creditor debts. The final parachute payment, which runs out this summer, has helped us to do that..." So are these debts paid, or are they Pompey paid / unpaid?

melmacian_saint Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 This parachute payment thing is outrageous, how right is it that a club relegated from a division 4 years ago keeps getting extremely significant revenue that most clubs in its current division cannot obtain? Especially for performing badly. I can understand one year, maybe two, but four is just too much. Also can any nutjob work out which creditors have had the largest haircut to the amount they were owed in 2010, pre-admin no.1?
rallyboy Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 I thought there might be some little gems in there... I couldn't understand why they would pay off players who are not due their money until 2016. 'Settlement agreements' that had to be signed off by the PFA! Have the hero/villains accepted another wagecut for a lump sum? Well at least they have paid everyone off in full.
TopGun Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 I thought there might be some little gems in there...

Chopper71 Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 Which is it, "debt free" or "paid all legacy debts"? If it's the latter, that means they may have incurred debt elsewhere that will need to be paid, and I expect that the CVA is not a legacy debt? If it looks like fish, smells like fish, it's probably from Portsea...
hutch Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 I thought there might be some little gems in there...

Have the hero/villains accepted another wagecut for a lump sum? Well at least they have paid everyone off in full. The statement doesn't actually say that they have paid anybody anything. I'm surprised you missed that, RB. Are you slipping?
goneawol Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 They're talking to someone from the club on Talksport this afternoon (H&J). Keep going on about how wonderful it is the club have paid all their debts off early.
Hockey_saint Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 I reckon it's just a very interpretive statement but then I think they should know by now that it's interpretive statements from accountants that got them into trouble to begin with!
badgerx16 Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 Portsmyth - noun : a statement, often in relation to football history or payment of creditors, that is plainly false, but due to a genetic abnormality is taken as true by the inhabitants of an obscure area of swampland in southern England.
sidthesquid Posted 29 September, 2014 Posted 29 September, 2014 A quick look at this from the Guardian article means we have the best record in the country on head-to-head results against our nearest rivals - in fact we are the only ones with over a 2-1 ratio of wins. It's funny nobody on either side has mentioned this before, but from now on.....
