The 40 year bit was this "This (a permanent training base) is something that Pompey have been crying out for from when I first came to the club nearly 40 years ago."

rallyboy Posted 21 May, 2014 Share Posted 21 May, 2014 There is a football facility with changing rooms etc. pompey have done a deal to use it and put some cash in to change things a bit. They do seem to be bigging up the fact that they have basically joined a gym. Meanwhile, they have had to cut costs and dump part of their youth development programme. While they obviously need a training base, if cash is that tight, continue to develop youth for the future, but let your overpaid journeymen train on the village green. I'm not sure why cash is that tight, they are ahead of all projections on income and have already pluckily pledged to increase the great promotion warchest. A cynic might think that the positive talk is all about season ticket renewals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyinthesky Posted 21 May, 2014 Share Posted 21 May, 2014 Some Pompey fans getting all excited about the possibility of signing James Constable from Oxford. Plenty of platitudes.

rallyboy Posted 23 May, 2014 Share Posted 23 May, 2014 That is clearly begging, dressed up a bit. I understand why a new club might want investment to start, but one year in, income way ahead of projections, why are they still asking their fans to dig deep and pay for things? And if things are that bad, how can they increase their playing budget as claimed, prior to season ticket renewals? They must be the only club that spends the summer sat next to a cashpoint with a scabby dog, a bit of cardboard and a paper cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowllyd Posted 23 May, 2014 Share Posted 23 May, 2014 Doubt it, he'll soon be too busy in court defending charges that he sexually assaulted a constituent with mental health problems. I'm surprised that you'd get prosecuted for that in Portsmouth, to be honest. Unless, of course, the person he's alleged to have assaulted isn't close enough family - just a cousin or something.

Jimmy_D Posted 26 May, 2014 Share Posted 26 May, 2014 (edited) So, 9 years ago, Portsmouth were a Premier League team. Fleetwood were playing in the North West Counties League. (Level 9 of the pyramid, 3 levels below Conference North/South) Next season, Fleetwood will be playing at a higher level than Portsmouth.

The9 Posted 27 May, 2014 Share Posted 27 May, 2014 Re: the t-shirt sales - I was in Whiteley yesterday, and went in SportsDirect to see which new kits were about. Sondico is a Mike Ashley brand and the Skates were trumpeting their Sports Direct links at the start of the season. Anyway, there are loads left on the shelves even at £15 a chuck. It's good to know that their bog standard, widely available, L2 shirt is still around in similar quantities to the number remaining of Saints' most hated shirt ever (which unlike the Skate kit is only left in XL and upwards and can only be bought in Saints stores in Southampton).
