Saint Lindford Posted 26 January, 2013 Share Posted 26 January, 2013 Surely the BBC have got the match report wrong, it shows the result as Portsmouth 1 Hartlepool 3 with a crowd of 10,981. Surely there must be a one missing from the Portsmouth score and the crowd must have been 20,000. I mean the biggest bestest football team South of London surely would not lose at home to Hartlepool in front on only 10,000 fans right??

eurosaint Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 As far as the football is concerned they are well and truly f^cked ! To lose at home to the whipping boys of the league is as bad as it gets, most of the rats have now deserted the sinking ship and all they can do now is play some waifs and strays !

trousers Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 @Pompeys12thMan: Following on from the Fans Conference meeting yesterday, a couple of points about the community bid & where it currently stands.. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 1. Regardless of outcome of next weeks court date, PST still looking at a completion date in early March. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 2. HNW's already put money into club to help running costs. This isn't a loan & won't be repaid but will be converted into equity.. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 3. If takeover doesn't happen HNW's lose this money (6 figure sums in many cases) That's how confident they are in the bid.. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 4. Money to purchase is in place. Call for fans to keep investing is to provide additional funds & show HNW's fans believe in bid too. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 5. PST unable to provide full details due to restrictions placed by PKF until court case over land purchase completed. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 6. Fans money is secure in solicitors escrow account. It will not be used to pay Chainrai, court costs or other fees. It's protected. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 7 (updated) If bid fails, maximum fans will lose is 2.5% of the amount returned subject to a maximum charge of £25... @Pompeys12thMan: Point 8. Council loan remains in place should it be required. It's being offered, with conditions, at extremely preferable rates to PST. @Pompeys12thMan: Point 9. Lots of clubs watching & willing this to happen. PST believe, HNW's believe. Pompey fans believe it too, it's going to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Lindford Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 @Pompeys12thMan: Point 9. Lots of clubs watching and thinking why are they still in business and offering ridiculous wages PST believe in transparency but can't answer any questions HNW's believe they are contributing to the £30m revenue stream the club generates for the city. Pompey fans believe it too, it's going to happen that the club will be so far down the football pyramid that Eastleigh, Havant, Totton and Gosport Borough will be considered as giants in the game compared to Pompey in 2 years time!

rallyboy Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 when you take his nine positive points and apply minus ten points, you aren't left with much. Completion by early March?

positivepete Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 So, point 2. Loans from HNWs converted into equity.

spyinthesky Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Under 11,000 for a club that needs every penny is shameful. Wasn't a problem when they were winning stuff ... Daren, I am no Pompey apologist but, in my view, 11,000 at their place isnt bad bearing in mind the dire stuff the team plays. In all honesty I wouldn't have seen us do too much better at the Dell. Their supporters may pour scorn on our 'soulless bowl' but it attracts more paying customers as it is a decent place to watch football. It will be interesting next season as and when Pompey go down (and possibly struggle) They will be lowest ranked club on the South Coast and possibly behind Bournemouth in home crowds if Bompey go up and do well. Also there are often comments made by Pompeyites about empty seats at St Marys Back in their 'glory days' of the early 50's Fratton Park had a capacity of over 50,000 yet their highest average attendance was 37,000 at a time when most clubs played to capacity crowds. One year their championship winning side played to an average attendance of less than Hull City in the old 3rd Division!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holepuncture Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Portsmouth FC @officialpompey Today's attendance: 10,981 #Pompey we have the best atmosphere in world football PMSL That is absolutely shocking, although they are falling to their natural level of around 6k... The PDT trust spokesman Colin Farmerys rallying call to action worked well then, having asked fans to buy a ticket on his mega web chat... watching him stutter through his little video with the news made me almost feel a little sorry for him as he is clearly deluded and way out of his depth... but they all want to be the fan on the board so desperately, I cant wait until these mugs start falling out with each other. They need to hurry up and fold, they could be rebuilding at Moneyfields as we speak, and they have blown millions in the last year in this administration, millions which would have secured their future at non-league level. Instead they once again decided to break the bank on mercenary players and delusion... WTFILN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of outcome of next weeks court date, PST still looking at a completion date in early March. There is. However that date ONLY applies to new admins in the season - ie go into admin before the date and receive the penalty straight away. Go into admin after the date and the league decide whether you get the penalty the same season or the next - if you stay up you get the points deduction, if you go down anyway you get the points deduction the following season. This doesn't apply to the DFCSBs though as they went into admin last season. The FL do however still hold 'discretion' over the points penalty that is due when they exit admin and we could well see them apply the penalty next season if/when the skates go down at the end of this season - assuming they come out of admin before the end[?] of June. If they don't they're toast anyway so the FL can keep the points as it makes no difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a fair point, but they keep banging on about having the bestest fans. When they stop pedalling the myth that they're anything other than fans like any team's fans, then perhaps we can get off their backs about shoddy attendance figures in their hour of dire need. They are an average provincial club, with average provincial supporters, who don't have any right to play at any particular level, field players of any particular class, but who do have the duty to pay their bills and taxes like any other business.
