rallyboy Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Well at least they've started the new year with better form. But in their defence, with that run of form they've done well to stay in touch - they should be ten points adrift at the bottom. Though I believe the Football League can still organise that for them if required. I haven't heard Connolly say that they are the best fans he's ever played in front of - presumably some mischievous local media will try and coax that out of him sometime soon. Have we returned to that point where mocking seems cruel? Though I do find that the sympathetic feeling fades a little everytime I hear a further version of a mythical docks strike or Nazi story. All in all the very few have a lot to look forward to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are on monthly contracts yet Pompey can activate a contract extension which the players then have to opt out of rather than it being an opt in arrangement?

Ric Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Sounds to me that it's up to the player whether he'll continue. DFCDBs will offer him an extension, but he doesn't have to accept. That's the implication of The News article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Sounds to me that it's up to the player whether he'll continue. Ultimately, yes, but the default position seems to be that a player has to opt out of an extension rather than opt in. A bit like an insurance renewal whereby if you forget to cancel it you're stuffed because they've got you tied in for another period of time.

trousers Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 http://www.swindon.vitalfootball.co.uk/sitepage.asp?a=304160 Normally I wouldn't write an article about opposition fans but following today's 5-0 win over Pompey, special mention must go to the travelling Portsmouth fans who made the trip to the County Ground today. 1,504 Pompey fans made the pilgrimage to Swindon to watch their team take a 5-0 beating but to them, it didn't matter. Their club, like Swindon Town have been through the mire, rubbish ownership and no money and came within days of liquidation, in fact they aren't out of the woods yet. Many fans would march out being down 3-0 but the majority stayed and just had fun. They know they are certain to play League Two Football next season, should they still be in existence. Ok, whilst not mathematically certain, and Pompey are only just in the League One relegation places but they will get a 10 point deduction when they finally exit administration which will take them to the bottom of the pile. Whilst Town fans mocked their Hampshire counterparts with chants of 'Going Down', Pompey fans responded with humorous chants of "We lose every week, We lose every week....you're nothing special.....We lose every week!" Towards the end of the game you could be mistaken for thinking Southampton had been relegated from the Premier League as wild cheering erupted from the Portsmouth fans. Late in the game the fans chanted 'lets pretend we scored a goal', and all enjoyed a wild celebration. Such was the class of the Portsmouth fans, even Town boss Paolo Di Canio clapped them at the end of the game. Whilst we are enjoying the good times right now, it was great to see a club, although in the brown stuff, still able to enjoy themselves and be proud of the effort the players are making despite getting thumped week in and week out. We look forward to the next time our paths cross. As our sister site Vital Pompey would say, 'PLAY UP POMPEY!' and lets hope the fans do gain proper ownership of the club, they deserve it.

Just about every fan from every club has used it before! One I remember (from another Club) is Ipswich when they were on the end of 9-0 thumping by United. The United fans were chanting "we want 10, we want 10", the Ipswich fans replied with "we want 1, we want 1".

rallyboy Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 and the leading entry in the Steve Cotterill Award for the most ridiculous post-defeat quote of 2013 goes to heroic potential villian Lee Willamson, with this little Swindon gem - We were the better team for an hour and then, all of a sudden, we were 5-0 down. Yeah, it's the sort of thing you get quite often in football - I recall how Villa were all over Chelsea until the blues slotted in eight goals, and then it looked a different game. It was the same when we went to the Emirates, we bossed the game all over the park and even had more kicks-off than Arsenal, but we didn't get the rub of the green. Williamson is also entered in the Understatement of the Season category with We’ve had a bit of a bad run... But about the whole fans love-in thing, can we just clarify a few facts. I realise that pompey have no reason to discuss on the pitch stuff but let's get back to reality as I sense that fickle old mistress delusion creeping back into the spin about the fans. Facts Like most clubs in their position, their home attendances have been quite poor. The rallying cry to pack the park was a disaster. Like most fans, they have booed when players are rubbish Their away following is smaller than many teams - it has been appalling on several occasions. Both their attendances and away followings have been nowhere near our own when in the third tier. EVERY fanbase resorts to humour when the score has become a joke. EVERY fanbase gets patted on the head for staying in the ground by teams that have hammered them. And two more special bestest related facts - The Trust bid is still a property deal, not a fan buyout - and it isn't the first by a long way. So why are we still hearing the spin? We make no claims to being special, or the bestest, normal clubs don't. The likes of Utd, Celtic, Newcastle, Liverpool - they are big clubs with away followings that create atmospheres. Nige always bigs up the SMS crowd and yes we do get behind the team, but I wouldn't imagine we are much better or worse than other 30K grounds. We've taken over some small grounds in the past but I didn't hear anyone saying that as a result we are bigger than Boca Juniors. Yet the very few continue to spout mindless drivel - these statements are nothing more than myths for the hard-of-thinking to lap up. Persisting with this 'look at us we're special' policy just makes the unpacked park even funnier, and means that bigger clubs like Brighton, Crawley, and Bournemouth can join in the game called laugh at the deluded bloke. Time to button it - rather than gobbing off like a wino being moved on, maybe they should maintain a dignified silence as they gently slip into the 4th tier.

She is a fairly open minded person but said their behaviour was appalling and threatening to mainly women and young kids. I am not naive enough to say that Pompey are alone in having such 'supporters' but a significant percentage of their lot like to revel in the 657 Crew mythology. Again on the Swindon Forum there was comment regarding moronic behaviour on the post match train to Reading.

rallyboy Posted 3 January, 2013 Share Posted 3 January, 2013 the last time they went this quiet before the court date we thought they had something really clever up their sleeves. They didn't. Having heard Farmery on Solent last night I see no reason to expect some case-winning revelation to sweep them to victory. He thinks a new court date will be set, possibly end of Jan or into Feb. I expect nothing to be sorted before the end of the transfer window other than rich businessmen becoming reluctant to cover losses, little progress on the pitch, and the only positive from their point of view will be the occasional noise made through their chosen media partners. the Trust bid is right on track, we are ready to take control, despite being 3,000 people a game, one division, and £10M short of our own ambitious projections....

(other than a bag of marbles) Its a tough one. I've been perusing POL and I'm not sure I fully get it. But I'll have a go. As I understand it, the original court case was set for a Thursday and a Friday. Immediately on the Thursday, PKFs legal team reequested an adjournment as there were issues with their case. The judge allowed them until the next day so that the lawyers could talk and potantially come to some agreement. This wasn't reached by the Friday, at which point the judge then adjourned the case further. Now, this is the bit where I'm unsure, but it seems the adjournment to Jan 15th was to give the legal teams further time to potentially come to an agreement. If they reach agreement on the legal points they can apply to court for a proper court date as soon as they reach agreement. If they don't reach agreement, they return to court on 15th when the judge will see what progress they've made and potentially set a new hearing date following that.

If they don't reach agreement, they return to court on 15th when the judge will see what progress they've made and potentially set a new hearing date following that. This Portsmouth News article explains it somewhat. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/regional/portsmouth-takeover-case-adjourned-1-4590829 I've taken my eye off the ball here as I thought the next date was to sort out ownership. Are we now saying that if agreement hasn't been reached it's merely to set a date for it all to be decided?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
