holepuncture Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Those idiot skates do seem concerned with our finances and seem particularly worried that we are "cheating" if the Liebherrs invest funds into their own personal asset. The lack of an extended gene pool in and around Portsea ultimately breeds them brain dead, I suppose. However, the bigger picture is that around circa 150 million pounds or more has gone through cheats FC and yet they have plunged from PL to Div 4. It must be all but physically impossible for this to happen if that money (no matter how ill gotten) was spent on the team and on infrastructure. But they have no training ground, no proper academy, not even a clock at Fatpipes and next stop the Blue Square league. Therefore, my question is this ... who has actually got all that money they have ripped off from innocent creditors these last few years? Admittedly, the usual suspects have been widely canvassed in this fine study of human frailties you are now reading, but surely the authorities (judicial not just football) would have long ago put two and two together and been all over this like a rash? But no, 150m+ of other people's money just disappears in a puff of smoke and no one, apart from us and perhaps Luton supporters, bats an eyelid or thinks anything could be amiss. Even a "forensic investigation" disappears into the ether and nobody in authority goes looking for it. Strange. But you try not paying a parking ticket ... Good post Around half a billion went through the club, as mentioned by Roman Dubov of CSI... Romans latest venture is 'Gator Golf', recycling golf balls that roll into lakes, car parks etc... Vladimir Antonov has just two months now until his extradition hearing (delayed from Jan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 6 May, 2013 Share Posted 6 May, 2013 Well my first football love Newport County have made it back to the League. What an achievement! What a boost and rise in footballing profile. Which is exactly why I think Pompey haven't suffered enough for their financial doping crimes. They still have the kudos of League football. Until those DFCSB's are in the Conference, they have got away with it. If they don't go up next season I reckon there's a fair chance they'll end up there yet.

PhilippineSaint Posted 7 May, 2013 Share Posted 7 May, 2013 Pompey were adamant the pitch invasion was a non-aggressive act and not designed to provoke the home fans. As part of Pompey’s defence, they also pointed out tickets for the Griffin Park match had been sold only to Fratton season-ticket holders and never went on general sale. Quoted from The Snooze article. So they are telling us that all the supporters there were on the Data Base so they have names and addresses I was under the impression that any supporter entering the field of play would be served with a banning order this should be pretty easy to enforce in this case. Or as it seems another law for Pompey than there is for the rest of the footballing community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the next couple of years our offerings will expand to the point where distance from Pompey should prove to be no drawback to supporting us.
