Pompey Takeover Saga


Fitzhugh Fella

Recommended Posts

I'm sure I'm not making a new point here, but how many were actually there at Fratton Park for the Torquay match? Attendance figures give the number of tickets sold, so all the season tickets are included; given this, their League Two attendance will never fall below 12,000. But how many season ticket-holding unfortunates actually showed last Saturday? If any nutjob happened to be there last week, how full did the ground look? A couple of thousand short of capacity, given the current restrictions? Or some way short of that?

Yet still those Pompey fans congregate in their tens of thousands – the solidarity unflinching in the fierce storms cruelly persistently beating their faces

 

when are they congregating in their 10's of thousands? It should not only be fierce storms beating their faces!

Solidarity? :scared:

 

I can only assume that the reports of plucky booing and threats of physical violence against their own battling players have been washed away in the river of hope that came off the stream of spin that emerged after the storm of expectancy and the drizzle of despair had blown away the cobwebs of criminality allowing the rising tide of faith to burst the banks of belief at the fortress of bo!!ox.

Skimming the article, strikes me they don't know whether to condem the fan , blame the player or forget it ever happened. #pompeylogic

 

Lots of potential villains being lined up reading the comments. Including The Snooze. Careful #factless, they'll be after you next.

A group of brave pompey fans were just applauding the players off, congratulating the team on a battling away performance, when Bradley suddenly ran over to them.

One fan quietly said, pausing only to adjust his cravat, 'hello Mr Bradley, can I just say that me and my chums thought you were brilliant today, how can we help you?'

But despite being congratulated Bradley just went crazy.

He punched a woman in a wheelchair, showed some of his genitals to the crowd, and spat in the face of a small child as the petrified youngster attempted to hand over the cash proceeds of a one mile bike ride.

The pompey fans were horrified and gently chanted as one, 'please stop, you are frightening all 4,000 of us'.

But the unprovoked and crazed Bradley didn't stop!

 

The mad-eyed utility man assaulted numerous pensioners, released a flare into a nearby kitten sanctuary, then spitting hatred and clearly under the influence of alcohol, he ripped open his shirt to expose a tattoo of himself with Adam Lallana, before turning away and flamboyantly urinating his full name and squad number across a pitchside war memorial.

Children cried, adults were shocked, some pets had to be put down - and many members of the plucky but impeccably-behaved Blue Army were physically sick, having been exposed to industrial language for the first time.

It certainly took the edge of a fantastic away performance.

I suspect they are trying to track down the fan, as they could use him as some sort of motivational coach. Why not expand the fan-owned approach to fan-led/fan-managed/fan-coached?

In fact, why not just get all the fans to play as well. Poopey could revolutionise this "fans club" malarkey!

I think the crucial question in "Bradleygate", is whether the drunken oaf who swung at him is;

 

1) A club HNW president

2) A fully fledged shareholder and part owner.

3) A syndicate member so almost a full owner but not quite.

4) A run of the mill six fingered loon, who couldn't/wouldn't stump up for a share.

 

If he is 1 or 2, then Bradley is toast, if he is 3, brush it under the carpet, and if 4, hunt down the fan, publish his name and address in the News, and brand him a Skummah.

Has Barker had any luck finding that `supporter'?

I'm sat in a Subway in the centre of this horrible dump called Portsmouth and cracking up having read that. Brilliant.

LOL, up until checking in on the nutjob portal I was under the impression they had a great victory, and that the open top bus was being prepared.

So let me get this right, a 99p mutilated hamburger and banana flavoured milk infused with sugar was a better experience than watching Pompey? At least his daughter gets it.

 

 

I was worried it was just me; he really did write that didn't he.

 

It could be that he's undergone his own little Damascene Conversion, turned himself from a hero into a villain and is a secret Saint. Or perhaps he's got so fed up with having to write this crap that he's decided to tell us what he really thinks and hopes no-one notices. What's more likely, I'm afraid, is that he's the worst journo this world will ever see and that even writing accidentally sickening Pompey hagiography is beyond him.

One day someone will have to go through the entirety of this thread and put a compilation of your best posts in a book :D

Point Estates, the company behind the scheme, is owned by Stuart Robinson, who has been working closely with the club for more than 12 months as its property partner.

 

He said: "These plans are a win-win for everyone. The football club will be able to improve Fratton Park and its surroundings, which is a key benefit of what we are doing and the local community will benefit from having increased choice and competition for their weekly shop."

 

Win-win :mcinnes: , aside from the thousand or so that have objected, and numerous local community businesses saying in the press that this deal will put them under.

 

In addition, around 300 jobs will be provided at Tesco

 

Sorry, what? 300! Exactly how f*cking big is this Tesco Extra going to be?

That claim is up there with the £300m hot dog sales per match LOL

The way to kibosh this is through Challenging the lifting of the restrictive covenant IMO.

 

There's nothing to kibosh. I reckon they will get a very modest six figure sum in cash, making whatever land they get irrelevant.......Fatpipes could eat that cash up in general maintenance and the idea of a new stadium is about as likely as their last one and a close second to the underwater hotel.

Nicely and accurately phrased - their real issues continue to mount...including even being able to afford to stay in that toilet that they hold so dear! :D

Redeveloping that ground is a mad fantasy way beyond their budget.

 

If they look to the east and west, they might just realise that they have been left behind.

A bumbling old deluded football dinosaur, still living the dream of flat caps, rosettes, and jumpers as goalposts, muttering away about the glory of ancient history.

 

And while we have a laugh at Bournemouth, they have sorted out their ground and are looking secure halfway up the Championship.

pompey can only dream of being that big.

300 jobs isn't far off when you consider most of them are part time jobs for school kids and the retired, which isn't really relevant anyway the best bit for me is even the artists impression that is supposed to sell this proposal show fat pipes park almost exactly as it is today perfect evidence that this deal is not getting the club anything except some cash to keep them limping along and a land locking that means the ground can never be redeveloped into anything particularly impressive.

I dont think us nutjobs need to intervene at this stage, thousands of the residents have signed a petition against the store. Local business are going to be put out of business as a result of the skates continued desperation and reliance on other peoples money to continue to survive (not prosper!):

 

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/business/local-business/thousands-take-a-stand-against-proposed-tesco-at-fratton-park-1-5586477

 

This proposal by the spurs supporting property developer, the pdt and Tesco is not about the community in any way shape or form, this is about a developer making some money, Tesco continuing building their empire, and the pdt.. well, it all smells a little underhand to me, if not then woefully niave and careless with regard to the future of their beloved fatpipes.

 

The are swimming with sharks.

 

And besides, with the covenant gone, fatpipes is just ripe for development in a non-footballing way!

Fair enough, though I still think 300 is a widely inflated figure, a portsmyth some would say.

 

Mind you, they will need 100 staff just to man the fish counter!

 

In the speil put out by the trust it does say that the money *could* be used towards a new stand or development of existing.

 

We all know it won't be, it'll fund the essential work required now.

 

They are doomed to a lifetime in the lower leagues.

 

#factless will sort out the propaganda in the local rag.

 

The trust have moved quickly to secure the funding from Tesco to be invested in urgent repairs of the grand old lady. The funds, originally earmarked for a new stand, have been brought into use early in order to prevent the HNWs needing to fund the essential repairs themselves, which would have left the PDT with a minority shareholding.

 

pdt donors will be blackmailed, the token cash from the landlocking deal WILL be used to repair fatpipes, if they object the HNWs seize majority control LOL

I notice the Snooze has still not published any story about planning permission being applied for - are they infighting there now with #factless wanting to declare it a victory for Pompey, and then proper journalists wanting to stick up for the majority of residents and businesses that don't want it?

It's a good job Pompey were being run by upstanding people at the time these "largest ever" Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal fines relate to (Fuglers, not to be forgotten as an important member of the supporting cast) otherwise there could be some sort of suggestion that PFC were trying to engage in dubious behaviour and are a bunch of cheating, thieving, ****s.

The more you look, the more accurate that picture seems to be. The floodlight pylon to the right of the Fratton End doesn't actually have any floodlights on it. Presumably the HNWs offered to pay for that to be fixed but the PDT didn't want to lose their majority...
