rallyboy Posted 23 September, 2013 Share Posted 23 September, 2013 surprise, surprise, Robinson controls the future of pompey. He waves cash, they have to dance, and approve any plans he submits. That's the debt-free pompey owned by the fans. Massive. And if you sat on Terry's handcarved playschool chairs to eat off the famous £500K table that is from the Mary Rose and rescued by Prince Charles in person, they're so short you'd have your chin on the placemat.

I sense a very swift swing on rallyboys hero-villiain-ometer on its way for the Spurs fan Robinson. Honestly, what did they bloody expect getting into bed with another self serving property developer? Oh for the days of old Corp HO insisting Tesco would gift pfc £20m, LOL, PMSL. What ever figure, £20m or less, that is Robinsons earner now, the skates get some tarmac and paint to build a wee carpark as a political makeweight. So Sacha was fed up sitting with his knees touching his ears, had the chairs valued and found they worth sod all so bunged them in a skip. Sounds fair to me. Precisely, no matter how many Russian plug sockets he installed, he would never bin valuable antique furniture! It was worthless and he knew it, the only thing worth money was the painting, funnilly enough that wasnt binned, he gifted it to Mandarich LOL! Terry the builder spun #factless a load of nonsense for a bit of limelight, #factless bought it all and now looks like a mug, as usual. Poor old Terry, I wonder what else he stole from his club which he can use as bargaining collateral? 'the high-flying Cod Army'?

But he had no hesitation in bigging up and praising the "small, small minority" for their amazing support when a few of them inexplicably stayed behind a couple of times last season to sing and chant pointlessly in the stands after the game had finished.

holepuncture Posted 24 September, 2013 Share Posted 24 September, 2013 It is p!ss funny when you compare it to what another League 2 club are getting out of a deal with a property investor. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-23950993 Akkeron was last week given the green light from the Planning Committee to redevelop Higher Home Park with nine shop/restaurant units, an ice rink, a 121-bedroom hotel, medical centre, cinema with 10-screens including IMAX screen, and parking for 360 cars. Within Home Park stadium a new grandstand of 4,800 seats will be built, which will house another four shop/restaurant units facing onto the new Higher Home Park development. Environmental improvements for Central Park, including landscaping of Zoo Field, drainage, a new football pitch on Cottage Field, and sports changing facilities were also approved. Plymouth Argyle had to free up one acre of adjancent land next to Home Park to make it happen. The Plymouth fans seem to hate James Brent and his Akkeron firm, almost like he is a Rupert Lowe of Devon.. Imagine the Plymouth fans if all they were getting was: ☻a car park ☻landlocked behind a supermarket and petrol station (housing around landlocks the rest of nottarf) ☻nottarf to be sheilded from view forever more, most people and visitors will not know it even exists!

Kingsland Codger Posted 24 September, 2013 Share Posted 24 September, 2013 T be fair to Terry the builder the woman who valued the chairs was well off the mark to their real worth. Her name was Deborah Lambert (I wonder if, by any chance she might be related...). As Ms Lambert was valuing the utterly impractical chairs, she asked the question "Who would want them?". Unsurprisingly, she didn't answer her own question but the clear implication was -without any provenance for the Portsmouth FC -> HMS Warrior -> HMS Victory -> Monty -> Churchill story, the 14 chairs were worth around £180 each tops. She acknowledged should stories about the chairs be thoroughly researched and the rumours (Terry's word) proved to be true, they would be worth more. Given the above, I'd be inclined to go with the Antiques Roadshow professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 25 September, 2013 Share Posted 25 September, 2013 That’s why Sports Direct want to get behind our shop – they see this as a massive deal for a massive club. Perhaps one day someone at the club will recognise that it's over. Like concentration camps and rationing, they were big in the 1940s. They are now in the bottom tier, on merit. I fear it will take a home defeat by some team we've never heard of to make them realise that they are not massive. Repeating the claim just make them look silly, and fuels this little bonfire.

rallyboy Posted 25 September, 2013 Share Posted 25 September, 2013 it's very simple - the visiting players raise their game because it is their cup final - the pinnacle of their careers. The home players backed by fanatical support that they have never experienced anywhere else, have turned Fatpipes into a fortress. This world-leading backing has spilled over into pressure, thus making the home side the underdogs in someone else's imaginary cup final cliche - but on the plus side, it gives them additional plucky and battling status. Meanwhile the referee who will have recently been officiating Championship games etc, fresh from reading his inbox full of anti-pompey emails from his bosses, will be overawed by the occasion. He will find the cauldron of hate atmosphere of a League Two basement battle similar to an Istanbul derby, and way too big to cope with. As a result he will give decisions to the team with hardly any support in the arena. So any defeat is clearly the fault of other people. Team selection, recruitment, coaching, and an obvious lack of squad fitness have no bearing on the league table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
