Their recent history shows that, like any raddled fishy trollop, they don't mind being taken any which way by any passing chancer with a few coins to jingle.

Until - perhaps that should be *if* - that changes, they'll remain the laughing stock of the South Coast

 

And here, just in case people don't know what a raddled fishy trollop looks like, for your delectation is one. :mcinnes:

Only pompey would spend money on increasing the capacity of a ground they don't get close to filling when they have got rid of their development team because of lack of money and don't even have a training ground.

 

Without a sugar daddy the only way they are going to get out of the mess they are in is by finding and developing young talent. A new stand is going to mean f*ck all until they can occasionally fill their ground which would be Championship level - they are light years away from that.

It's just bullsh1t for the cretinous few to believe again - all that talk of ground development is flannel to distract from the fact that they have given away their one tangible asset for peanuts to a property developer. Of all the recent developments this is actually the one that does them the most long-term harm and they haven't seen it yet.

They didn't give their prized asset away. It wasn't theirs to give away. It was sold off [to Robinson] as part of an administration.

 

The skates had a chance to buy back their prized asset but of course they had no money to do so. IIRC Chinny was close to buying the land wasn't he? Still, when you put your 'trust' into a property developing spurs fan, you reap what you sow :D

Looks like he's spent most of this season warming the bench. Sounds ideal for them.

 

But RB says he's a top L1 player and the few are already saying he is a Yaya Toure...

Meanwhile, football genius Richie blames the parlous state of their potato patch - you know, the one they could easily have upgraded during their moment in the sun a few years ago, but preferred to neglect in favour of bribing a mercenary army to nick the FA cup with - for their #p!sspoorfootball:

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pitch-trouble-forces-blues-to-grind-1-5883338

"... there is no getting away from the fact that the playing surface is the worst it has been in several years, with one area near the players’ tunnel, in particular, causing major concern.

While a large amount of sand has been used in an attempt to try to absorb some of the excess moisture, it certainly does not make it easy to pass the ball on the pitch.

Barker explained: ‘It’s not an excuse but it’s nigh on impossible to play entertaining, attractive football on our pitch at the moment.

‘There was one point where Jed Wallace went to play a pass and it just stopped dead in the mud.

‘The pitch is not helping us at all. It’s not great."

 

Oh how are the mighty fallen :D

Good f***ing grief Trousers, where do you find them from?

 

I assume the nappy he is wearing is for when he wet himself after they survive relegation.

I had confirmed to me by a Director of the Club that no money had been spent on the pitch in 20 years

Looks like the friendly property developer is showing his hand and whats the betting he becomes decidedly less friendly as soon as the first digger is on site? He needs to keep the few on side for now to help smooth the planning application through but once he has tesco's millions in his pocket I doubt we will ever hear from him again as he is swiftly moved down the cool wall from super hero to evil villain.

Fairly safe to say the 'arena' will be well and truly wedged by the proposed development..

I make that cramped parking for no more than 150 cars :D

Assuming that each parked vehicle is packed with 4 people, that means parking for no more than 600 of the bestest :lol:

Where oh where will the rest of the 15000 go I wonder?

One poor sod is even asking for the mock ups of how the new stadium will look.:scared::scared:

 

They are all going to be very disappointed.

 

The new stadium will look....the same as it is now! Makes me laugh they still haven't quite grasped that all they are getting is a new, smaller car park and some Dulux paint! :)

Yes, but what we're failing to grasp here is this won't be any old smaller car park and a few licks of paint, it'll be the bestest small car park and the finest few licks of paint that ever was :lol:

As soon as work starts they'll be digging up these by the dozen. Anthropologists and archaeologists will be all over the site like a rash, putting the bestest Phoenix like rise from the ashes comeback behind by several more years.

Dulux.....I doubt it, it will be something nicked from the Navy stores, they are lucky that battleship grey is very much in fashion. Factless will come on and tell them thaty some interior designer had come up with the colour scheme

For my sins I listen to some of the Alan Brazil show on Talksh ite in the mornings. They always have a "betting partner" who gives c rap odds on unlikely events. Between 2006 and 2009 their partner was Corals Bookmakers. Clearly there was some bust up and Corals walked away but this week they have returned.

 

This morning it was revealed that one of the Corals spokesmen on the show is a Pompey fan. He acknowledged that these days he has nothing to cheer about butI couldn't help but laugh at the way that their fortunes have changed since the last time that he was on the show. FA Cup holders firmly established in the Premier League to a mob bobbing around in the lowest tier trying to avoid relegation to non league football.

 

I wonder what odds the Pompey supporting Corals spokesman would have given on that!!

@furybball: @pn_neil_allen You really think you're a shareholder? Where are your dividends? You donated money to investors to buy club and got a receipt

 

@pn_neil_allen: @furybball Thousands of fans bought shares as individuals and syndicates to save club - not for dividends. And #Pompey is alive!!

 

 

Doesn't really answer the question though does it Neil.

If not, it looks like things could get very tricky if your new neighbours get stroppy :D

I thought I'd look up "Share" in the Oxford dictionary, just in case Neil could claim any benefit of doubt:

 

"one of the equal parts into which a company’s capital is divided, entitling the holder to a proportion of the profits"

 

Nope, sorry Neil. I don't know what you "bought" but it most definitely is not what is known as a "share" in the English language.

yes a real hero he bought a part share, about £250's worth. Great solidarity

He never spent that much. IIRC they split it six ways. £166.66 each - probably more than covered by a days expenses reporting and away match.

They really have got such a sh!te deal out of Tescos there. It's amazing that all through their "successful" years they were sat on that land and did nothing - now they have lost it and are land-locked.

 

The obvious thing to have done would be to build a new ground where the Tescos is going then sell the old shed for redevelopment.

I'm not sure that the club ever actually owned the whole lump of land - didn't the great hero Mandaric obtain it for himself under various companies before officially knocking down a small hut, and scuttling away with a nice profit?

Once the ownership of the club and land went their separate ways it was always going to end in tears.

It hasn't yet though, we are just approaching the interval for ice creams and pop.

The tears will come later - when the new arena doesn't.

So what's to stop the hoardes of the bestest from parking at Tesco to get to the ground? Or will Tesco charge for parking, redeemable against shopping over a certain value?

They won't need to, what with their turnover being boosted by £300m a year n'all. It will be the most profitablist Tesco in the world.

Sort of. They'll be giving out match tickets (or a free carrier bag) with all purchases over £5

Looking at the redline boundary on the map the only way to access FP without crossing it is at the eastern side so Tesco willk have a huge say in what happens at FP in the future. Complete hostage to fortune. Well done PDT!
