Mr Biscuits Posted 1 October, 2015 Posted 1 October, 2015 If they fail to achieve promotion this season I will laugh and laugh and laugh
Waterside.saint Posted 1 October, 2015 Posted 1 October, 2015 Don't give up on it yet. They will fail in the playoff's. It is the 'hope' that kills them. If they fail to achieve promotion this season I will laugh and laugh and laugh On the other hand if they go up it will only add to their delusion and hasten the next car crash
The9 Posted 1 October, 2015 Posted 1 October, 2015 (edited) now managerless Newport COunty Yep, I didn't get to vote on that decision for some reason. Confused. Apparently John Sheridan is next in line - the recently-appointed CEO was at Plymouth with him last season. I'm still trying to work out who was responsible for Terry bloody Butcher coming in in the first place, but it clearly wasn't anyone on the NC Supporters' Trust Board. Oh, also, democratic elections for the Trust Board come January 2016 (one member one vote), have the Skates got that in place or is it all HNW stitch up? Edited 1 October, 2015 by The9

Waterside.saint Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 18:00Thursday 01 October 2015 HAVE YOUR SAY We all want Fratton Park to be intimidating. But racism, sexism and homophobia has nothing to do with the grand, old lady being a bearpit. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/the-cross-word-pompey-is-ours-all-of-ours-1-6985906 But racism, sexism and homophobia are all part of your rich history and, no doubt, your putrid future. Why change a winning formula?
OldNick Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 Pompey have got away with real punishment. I always felt the only true punishment for the glory would be to have lost their stadium.Others disagreed, but the stadium is their gods end as it is their attendances and a place of focus that keeps the fire burning for them. If they did not have FP they would not now be getting the crowds and income that should sweep them up to the CHampionship. 5 or so years of pain for an FA cup win etc is well worth it in my opinion, we had that for no glory

Would you envy a bloke who owns a stolen Rolex...?
Golden Balls Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 If they fail to achieve promotion this season I will laugh and laugh and laugh I can't see that happening unfortunately. However if it did the bestest would dwindle even more. All that hope, all that expectation to then fail would kill them.
Hatch Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 They are now 500/1 for relegation. Seems unlikely at the moment, but you can never rule out the possibility of a points deduction, long way to go yet. Worth a £10 I reckon.
Pamplemousse Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 http://www.pompeytrust.com/news/trust-announce-increase-in-shareholding The Pompey Supporters’ Trust is delighted to report an increase in its shareholding in Portsmouth Community Football Club. The current shareholding now sits at £2.75M which equates to 48.48% of PCFC. This increase was made possible by the direct debit shareholders maturing and also the final closing of the investment account with Verisona. Trust Spokesman Johnny Ertl said "The PST board are very pleased to reveal this latest increase in its shareholding. The Membership of the Pompey Supporters Trust should be very proud of its achievement, the level of fan investment that has taken place here is historic and admired not just in the UK but around the world" The PST Board would like to especially thank Tom Dearie and Steve Hatton for their diligent work in helping to finalise these shares.

buctootim Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 Three out of these four are respected FC United Wimbledon Newport County Portsmouth
Saint in Paradise Posted 2 October, 2015 Posted 2 October, 2015 Meanwhile, the Newport County Supporters Trust have today announced they've achieved their fundraising target and will take over the club subject to the formality of FL approval, holding more than 50% of shares in the club having bought out the top two shareholders. Way better than a poxy 48.48% and an agreed plan to pay off creditors without needing to go into adminstration, never mind 3 relegations. You do realise that "They" will claim credit for Newports success as it was "Their" original pioneering which has shown all clubs the way to go.
Waterside.saint Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Is it on fire Colin? Not yet. They can't afford the insurance. Their timber shack, fuelled by decades of neglect and litter, is certainly ripe for the kind of radical transformation that could be brought about by the application of a well dropped fag end
rallyboy Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I would imagine that an insurance claim could be Plan A for funding a new ground. They won't do it any other way. I seem to recall that Redknapp's useless rundown seafront building suffered a terrible fire that led to new apartments. Not quite as many as he hoped, but the profit must have helped him get over the shock of the fire.
FloridaMarlin Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 I'd be very surprised if the fire came as a shock to him.
hutch Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 We did used to be famous once. We did. We did. We did. We did. We did.
Mr Biscuits Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Is factless Allen capable of writing something that doesn't sound like a poor attempt at a Viking Saga?
Wirral saint Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Is factless Allen capable of writing Sorted it for you
trousers Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 We did used to be famous once. We did. We did. We did. We did. We did. "Suddenly the very mention of Pompey is no longer attracting shakes of the head and loud tuts from those onlookers without affiliation." [emoji38]
trousers Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Great clean sheet at home against the mighty Yeovil today. 1 point from the last 2 home games. Champions elect I reckon.
rallyboy Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 That keeps them joint top. If you take into account their pluckiness, passion and the two league titles just after the Crimean War.
OldNick Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 That keeps them joint top. If you take into account their pluckiness, passion and the two league titles just after the Crimean War. lol, it still could be a relegation 6 pointer
Dark Munster Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 Joint top of the 4th division (sort of). Much more exciting than 9th in the plastic PL. - Jealous nutjob.
Golden Balls Posted 3 October, 2015 Posted 3 October, 2015 How did Roberts (whoever that is) fail to realise just how massive they are?!
Waterside.saint Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 How did Roberts (whoever that is) fail to realise just how massive they are?! The ref was no doubt overawed by the occasion, thus robbing the #pluckiest of another thumping victory at #Fatpipes
rallyboy Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 Did anyone else happen to notice the difference between the fortunes of pompey and Saints this weekend? One might suggest that it demonstrates the gulf between us quite nicely. We could only muster a handful of supporters for the trip to London, who all booed the team before leaving early - whereas the mighty pompey packed the park with owners of the club and battled their way against the odds to a valuable point against the Galacticos of champions-elect Yeovil. And they've got a book out. #jealous
TopGun Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 How did Roberts (whoever that is) fail to realise just how massive they are?! It's great if the Skate players believe their own portsmyth if it means they start to bottle it at home.
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 Big crowd, to be fair, bigger than a lot in the Championship.
Chez Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 I would imagine that an insurance claim could be Plan A for funding a new ground. They won't do it any other way.

Not quite as many as he hoped, but the profit must have helped him get over the shock of the fire. They certainly did. Handy that as they would never have allowed the Victorian building to be knocked down, especially to be replaced by the monstrosity they have planned now. Four years on and the now retirement flats have still to be built, although planning permission is now finally in place and **** flaps has sold the land to the developer.
Chez Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 Big crowd, to be fair, bigger than a lot in the Championship. They absolutely battered Yeovil. Hopefully other teams can scrape draws like this otherwise they might get back their rightful level of the third division
trousers Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 Big crowd, to be fair, bigger than a lot in the Championship. One Direction and Justin Bieber attract large crowds too....
Mr Biscuits Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 I find it staggering how no one else talks about any other club in the country in the same terms as that lot down the road. They must have their heads stuffed so far up their own arses that they are on some sort of odd cranial-anal infinity curve

The Cat Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 They absolutely battered Yeovil. Hopefully other teams can scrape draws like this otherwise they might get back their rightful level of the third division Battered them with a whole 2 shots on target?
dronskisaint Posted 4 October, 2015 Posted 4 October, 2015 Battered them with a whole 2 shots on target? I think he meant as a chip shop might do...the danger of attending a skate gathering!!

The9 Posted 5 October, 2015 Posted 5 October, 2015 Ever thought of giving it a go yourself? I suspect my credentials as a Saints Season Ticket holder who tries to spend all his free time with his family might make nicking off 100 miles to do stuff in my home town on weekdays a bit difficult even if there was the remotest possibility of me doing anything for free.
The9 Posted 5 October, 2015 Posted 5 October, 2015 You do realise that "They" will claim credit for Newports success as it was "Their" original pioneering which has shown all clubs the way to go. I'm fairly sure the other 139 fan owned community shareholder clubs may have had something to do with it.
