rallyboy Posted 23 May, 2015 Posted 23 May, 2015 The perfect breakfast? I'll stick with cereal thanks.
bridge too far Posted 23 May, 2015 Posted 23 May, 2015 The best fan-owned club in L2 is in the lead at Wembley!
dubai_phil Posted 23 May, 2015 Posted 23 May, 2015 ON a randomly connected side note, one of PTS's pet Journos is a very happy bunny this evening - Matt Slater with whom we had some run ins back in the first 1000 pages or so of this thread is a Southend fan, so congrats to him
Dark Munster Posted 25 May, 2015 Posted 25 May, 2015 That is the biggest splash created ever bar none. Ok, bar one. But this one is graceful and beautiful.
Dark Munster Posted 25 May, 2015 Posted 25 May, 2015 The base structure for Tesco is half done. It's massive, and once finished, you'll barely be able to see Fratton Park from the road when driving/walking past. At least that's going to make the old dear on the mobility scooter happy.
TopGun Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 What I love about Pompey is they are pledging to spend and spend more on players. To get promoted. Forget the infrastructure, forget Fratton Park, forget the lack of training facilities etc... Same old.
Torres Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 If I was an owner of one of the countless small businesses ripped off by the club (or previous iterations of it) I'd still be fuming to see them splashing the cash on a new manager and players.
saint si Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 What I love about Pompey is they are pledging to spend and spend more on players. To get promoted. Forget the infrastructure, forget Fratton Park, forget the lack of training facilities etc... Same old. Yes but when they reach the promised land of League One then the money will really start rolling in, what with the massive overseas TV rights deal, the bidding wars for sponsorship rights that will surely follow, and of course the huge uptick in attendances that they will surely get. Even though everybody already goes to every game because they are so loyal, in League One they will buy two tickets each! So really it's just an investment.
rallyboy Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 I think they might have been too quick on Cook's appointment, had they waited a few weeks they could have had Ancelotti. He must be kicking himself too.
Saint86 Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 I don't know if this has been previously posted. However! It is too good to not share!!! Not sure this has been discussed but I heard on the news that Bournemouth's promotion could mean a potential £50 million boost to the local economy. £50 million ?! Where do these figures that get quoted like that come from exactly? More fans? With a capacity of 12k and sold out (I'd have thought) for most of this season then there wont be any more fans, same goes for away fans, the away allocation is tiny so there won't be 1000's of extra away fans turning up every couple of weeks. It obviously puts the town in the spotlight a bit more but I'm still struggling to see where the £50 million comes from, any ideas ? Playing devils advocate if that figure is really true then maybe that should be used more when it comes to trying to come up with some sort of joint council / club deal for our ground i.e if the club is successful then the whole city benefits from it.
saint si Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 I don't know if this has been previously posted. However! It is too good to not share!!! I guess a chunk of the high wages paid to the players will go back in to the local economy (via car dealers, exclusive bars, Nandos and hairdressers)
SaintZamboni Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 I guess a chunk of the high wages paid to the players will go back in to the local economy (via car dealers, exclusive bars, Nandos and hairdressers) Are they taking Luke Shaw on loan then?
eurosaint Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 I don't know if this has been previously posted. However! It is too good to not share!!! You couldn't make it up, you really couldn't ! :mcinnes:
saint si Posted 26 May, 2015 Posted 26 May, 2015 Are they taking Luke Shaw on loan then? This will be a transfer rumours exclusive in The News by lunchtime tomorrow.

dubai_phil Posted 27 May, 2015 Posted 27 May, 2015 OK Nutjobs. Something has been bugging me of late. When they created the world's bestest supporter owned club out of Admin number whatever, they had to defer a payment, but they said it was "ringfenced" - possibly by the (or one of the) charge(s) on Nott Arf I've been trawling back through the pages trying to dig this up. Was it the PFA? Had they actually paid all of the Football Debts in order to get their playing licence back? Help? This has become a heated debate between us lot, some Boro fans and some Scousers, there is beer involved!

Not sure where that fits into the grand scheme of things though...
Danbert Posted 27 May, 2015 Posted 27 May, 2015 The PST board has been advised that Enterprise The Business Credit Union Limited has entered administration. We understand that each supporter who purchased a share using this method will be contacted individually by the administrators Cork Gully. Read more at http://www.pompeytrust.com/news/pst-statement?#PFvppM1L6xyF2QlC.99 Why would the administrators need to contact anyone who purchased a share through the company? This seems very fishy to me.

mcjwills Posted 27 May, 2015 Posted 27 May, 2015 Now the $64000 question, if in the unlikely event of the world cup being switched to England, will the millions of infrastructure money be used to rebuild Krap Nottarf into the 40000 seater stadium they deserve. It got to happen if the WC comes to England, how could not the top games be played at the Home of proper football ???
Torres Posted 27 May, 2015 Posted 27 May, 2015 It would be a blue version of Darlington home games, circa 2010.
Mr Biscuits Posted 27 May, 2015 Posted 27 May, 2015 Now the $64000 question I think you'll find that it would actually be a $3 question after Pompey mythmatics have been applied. I also call this 'Pompey weighting' or the eleven toed effect

Ric Posted 27 May, 2015 Posted 27 May, 2015 I don't think the fans will find that their obligations to pay will be forgotten - the creditors will expect to get that money. On the other hand, the creditors won't get all of their money, otherwise the firm wouldn't have needed to go into administration. If the PST haven't got all the money from the "share" sales up front, that makes them one of the creditors who won't get all the money they were expecting. Could be a case of the boot being on the other foot. Interesting... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Chez Posted 28 May, 2015 Posted 28 May, 2015 I would have thought the PST will have received the £1000 for every `share' bought by fans using Enterprise The Business Credit Union Limited up front. The skates that bought a share through via ETBCUL will still have to continue to pay off the £1000 debt. The PST will be unaffected by this news.
Hatch Posted 28 May, 2015 Posted 28 May, 2015 maybe not, money coming from the Credit Union may be due to be paid in stages. So they still might get caught out. Hopefully anyway.
Danbert Posted 28 May, 2015 Posted 28 May, 2015 Southsea - it's still Portsmouth http://www.redmolotov.com/catalogue/tshirts/all/southsea-tshirt.html
Matthew Le God Posted 28 May, 2015 Posted 28 May, 2015 The home kit looks like a market knock-off Chelsea kit from 2001.
Dangermouth Posted 28 May, 2015 Posted 28 May, 2015 Didn't realise they were formed from a team kicked out of the league for being unsporting: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Portsmouth/Portsmouth.htm

Hatch Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 I have no idea who those two players are, at least in the past i would have at least a chance of naming them.
rallyboy Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 Yes, they took over the franchise of a disgraced club, just to buy Southern League success, in a lovely pink shirt, and managed to go 13 years before being wound up. The main financial debacles were 1911, mid-70s, 98 and the two recent ones. A glorious history. I look forward to Admin VI.
Torres Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 I think of them is a postman and the other works in a carpet shop. The BBC are preparing biographies already just in case they fluke it through to the FA Cup 3rd round and draw one of the big boys, like Rotherham.
Golden Balls Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 That kit is hilariously tin pot. Looks like a cheap copy of an early 90s kit. Look at that collar!!!
Chez Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 seeing as Sondico are a Sports Direct brand are the shirts advertised with a high RRP, but on sale from day one? Fits quite nicely with the clubs philosophy of never paying the full amount if you can avoid it.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 seeing as Sondico are a Sports Direct brand are the shirts advertised with a high RRP, but on sale from day one? Fits quite nicely with the clubs philosophy of never paying the full amount if you can avoid it. They seem to try to sell an awfully large percentage of them at £5 if I remember this time last year.
The9 Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 New shirts on pre-order at £40. http://www.sportsdirect.com/football-shirts/football-league-football-shirts/portsmouth-football-shirts Now two years ago they were (lying but) saying their shirts were the cheapest in the Football League (Newport's at £34.95 were 4p cheaper, but then that was only team in that division I even checked). That was meant to be as a result of being fan owned and fan friendly - so what can we assume from the five quid price hike? Last season's away and third kits still available in S, M, L, XL, 2XL despite only being £15. Highly amusingly last season's socks are £3 "This season's" socks are £5 I wonder if anyone will notice?
The9 Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 They've also misprinted a load of dates on a t-shirt, which probably explains why they're only £4.
Chez Posted 29 May, 2015 Posted 29 May, 2015 New `star' skate signing Kai Naismith has fully prepared for his new life on the south coast. In 2010 Naismith and fellow Rangers player Kyle Hutton, were abducted in Edinburgh by two men and driven around the city in Hutton's car before they were dumped in the Niddrie area of Edinburgh. Naismith and Hutton were then mugged as the thieves stole the car.
