St Jim Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Just 12 minutes before the final whistle Oldham were drawing and skates were winning and looking like the great escape was on.........as it has been said on here before, it's hope that kills you!
badgerx16 Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Mick Williams @mickwill 16m Pompey Start Fresh But Not Totally Debt Free http://tinyurl.com/br438ga #Pompey http://teamlocals.co.uk/news/portsmouth/news-sport/pompey-start-fresh-but-not-totally-debt-free "We have a number of parachute payments" - could that 'number' be 1 ?
Lighthouse Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Yeovil and Crawley at home, then Shrews and Orient away. I reckon there might be 2 draws in there. Or Lee Barnard could get the winner at home to Yeovil on Tuesday and send them down.
TopGun Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Surely Oldham can manage 1 or 2 points from 4 games. Let's hope so. Just to seal the -10 for Pompey next season.
Weston Super Saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 "We have a number of parachute payments" - could that 'number' be 1 ? No, 2. 1 in August and 1 in Feb 2014. They must be the only team in history to stretch the PL parachute payments all the way to League 2! I've never considered them to be generous before, far from it, but they do appear to be 'sharing the wealth' throughout the football pyramid.
TopGun Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 (edited) http://teamlocals.co.uk/news/portsmouth/news-sport/pompey-start-fresh-but-not-totally-debt-free So in effect, they're already about £11m in debt if you believe the PST figures. Which ignores the non-football CVA creditors also. And also doesn't account for the £3m plus "add-ons" for Fratton Park, most of which they need to pay by end of this month. Edited 13 April, 2013 by TopGun
TopGun Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Ultimately they were very lucky that the Premier League gave them (and other relegated teams) an unexpected boost this season with the extra payment. They could get another one next year as a one-off but otherwise the remaining payments won't add up to to much. There is a figure that has been quoted here somewhere about PPs for L1 and L2 clubs which would be useful to know if somebody can dig it out.
View From The Top Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 The pitch invasion at the end today will cost them £20k. That's 20 pledges wasted!
Dalek2003 Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 They are almost gone, but do feel sorry for the clubs and fans in League 2. No doubt they will be giving it large over the summer, but it would be funny if they get relegated again.
andysstuff Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 it would be funny if they get relegated again. Now that sir may just mean they haven't got away with it.
suewhistle Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 They are almost gone, but do feel sorry for the clubs and fans in League 2. No doubt they will be giving it large over the summer, but it would be funny if they get relegated again. If they do, the Conference might quite appreciate them: an extra 100 on the gate for some clubs must be quite significant... :-)
miserableoldgit Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Apparently Oldham are at home to Yeovil on Tuesday. If Oldham win, Skates are relegated according to Solent
Deano6 Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Will be good for them to be relegated before next Friday, when they are due to come out of admin. That then somewhat forces the FL to apply the 10 pts deductions next year. Needed today's results to go as they did too.
OldNick Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Fr a man who fought tooth and nail to protect his 17m gave up with a whimper. It does not add up and almost certainly there is a reason for that. The devil will be in the details

melmacian_saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 (edited) Reckon Oldham will draw v. Yeovil and then win v. Crawley, although I think that they will loose v. Sheffield United so it won't even matter. Edited 13 April, 2013 by melmacian_saint
St Chalet Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 [st Chalet awaits someone to start the the 'Yeovil Vs Oldham Build Up Thread' so he can sticky it]
Sheaf Saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Apparently Oldham are at home to Yeovil on Tuesday. If Oldham win, Skates are relegated according to Solent Oldham just need one more point from their remaining games and hope that Pompey can't claw back a -7 GD deficit even if they win their last two.
St Chalet Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 S****horpe also playing Tuesday against Bury, would expect them to win that and get to 45 points with 2 to play. The few are gone.
OldNick Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Just seen Bradley celebrating his goal in front of the skates, they weren't very happy lol
St Chalet Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Failing that, Jonno Forte could make himself a legend by finishing the fishy few on Saturday.
jawillwill Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Will they get a telling off/fine for this? I don't know what the rules are with pitch invasions.
Hatch Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Looks like they have just read the advert on the roof and are running about pretending to be planes.

FloridaMarlin Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 If it is truly a fan-owned club, then these and those rucking at Waterloo station are the people who own it. Lovely. Classy. Let's hope these really are the people making the decisions over the running of the club. The rest of the football world will soon see why we wanted the cockroach of football crushed.

Let's hope these really are the people making the decisions over the running of the club. The rest of the football world will soon see why we wanted the cockroach of football crushed. Its a fair sentiment. But something that the few haven't yet grasped is that the football world have had zero interest in them for quite some time. They are an utter irrelevance. Again.
trousers Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 What the the pitch invasion for? Did someone pay a creditor or was it some other miraculous event...?

The club is still owned by the administrator.
LGTL Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 So their fans have had (nominal) control of the club for barely a few days, and already they've invaded a pitch and been done over at Waterloo by Millwall. Excellent.
Crazy Diamond Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 'We will never be defeated' Apart from when they play Brentford then, clearly.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 So their fans have had (nominal) control of the club for barely a few days, and already they've invaded a pitch and been done over at Waterloo by Millwall. Excellent. What a delightful set of 'fans'.
lifeintheslowlane Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Quote from a Pompey fan on FB after the game: "yeah nice one Pompey fans.. just when we get control of the club, you behave like that... ****ing all over the terraces, in people gardens and abusing your own female fans"
Loyal Saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 So apart from getting the run around by Millwall, BWP taking the ****, a pitch invasion which was more camp than a Village People reunion and Oldham winning, its been a good start for the new regime

Kingsland Nick Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-fans-pitch-invasion-1-4998318 Will they pass the fit and proper persons test?
pedg Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Will they pass the fit and proper persons test? They pass the Fat and p*stup Person Test. Does that count?

Let's hope these really are the people making the decisions over the running of the club. The rest of the football world will soon see why we wanted the cockroach of football crushed. Now now, Let's make sure that we get this as factually correct as a Neil Allen article in the snooze. They weren't rucking, the 657 crew were simply trying to encourage new fans to make their donations to the pst...
Loyal Saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Feel free Sir. Warning though, be prepared for the jackanory tales of the peoples republic of portsea pikeys big day out in the big smoke
latter day saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Feel free Sir. Warning though, be prepared for the jackanory tales of the peoples republic of portsea pikeys big day out in the big smoke thanks.i'm used to him spouting rubbish when it comes to his beloved football club,it must be in the DNA
Viking Warrior Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I thought the other story under the pitch invasion in the News was more worry to the skate bastards BEGGARS were told to stop asking the public for money or face prosecution as a major police operation was launched last night. Simon Hayes, the police and crime commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, joined officers on the streets of Portsmouth to help hand out letters to beggars. The notices warned them that begging is a criminal offence – and they could face arrest if they continue.
The Kraken Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 Ian Peach, PDT board member, expresses his disquiet: Frankly embarrassed at some of the crap I saw at end of the game. Sad to say had moment when wondered if effort of last 18mths was worth it. Whoops. Infighting already.
Hockey_saint Posted 13 April, 2013 Posted 13 April, 2013 I completely forget the Brentford manager was also the last saints player to score at the Dell! well done Uwe Rosler!
