Dalek2003 Posted 5 November, 2014 Share Posted 5 November, 2014 That really puts their situation in context, doesn't it? They are a long, long way from ever being a serious club again. Their trophies in the ancient past will just be little footnotes in history, with a cautionary tale about how cheats never ultimately prosper. Yes, they are the most insignificant of the 'professional' clubs by some way. Worse still, the other clubs have a bright future ahead of them, whist they can only hope to hang on to what they have got and try and keep themselves from falling behind their next greatest rivals, Aldershot Town and perhaps Eastleigh.

dubai_phil Posted 6 November, 2014 Share Posted 6 November, 2014 It was nice of Ralph Krueger to stand up in front of the World's Press and Publicly lay to rest of of the most boring poorsmyths yesterday when he so eloquently discussed the legacy of Markus and how his first actions were to address the small creditors in our Administration. That must have hurt the few as much as the fact that our Training complex is now worth more than their entire Club. It also came in a week when there was a stunning article in the New York Times about what it REALLY means to be a Community Club. A sustainable one at that, making a REAL difference to People's lives (not just painting a few fences) In fact the article is such a resounding description of what a Community Club should DELIVER (not just talk about in one line paragraphs) that it should be required reading for every PTS nutjob so that every time you see or hear that recycled garbage from down the road you can just ram this in their faces. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/05/sports/soccer/scottish-club-hamilton-academical-combines-soccer-and-sobriety.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=second-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1 Just a snippet : ..... About 10 years ago a group of local businessmen bought the club for £1 (about $1.60) and committed to building a team with young players that was intimately connected to the community. McGowan vowed to use the club to help overcome what he saw as the biggest problem facing Hamilton — and, more broadly, the country.“I’m a co-owner of the football club, but I’m also an alcoholic and a drug addict,” he said. “I’ve been in recovery for 31 years. I don’t forget the pain and suffering I caused others. I’m putting a wee bit back in.” Scotland has the highest rate, per capita, of cocaine use in the world, according to the United Nations’ World Drug Report 2014. The club hosts regular meetings for recovering addicts, giving away hundreds of tickets for the families of those affected as well as providing meals for the homeless......

rallyboy Posted 6 November, 2014 Share Posted 6 November, 2014 Technically the shirts belong to the club because it was the club that had them off their suppliers and bankrupted them by not paying, so James should be charged with theft. This is clearly more money that belongs to the property developers. Something should be done to stop this villain making money out of pompey. Perhaps the fan shareholders should have a vote on it.

rallyboy Posted 9 November, 2014 Share Posted 9 November, 2014 Just heard a retail expert saying that there is no way Tesco will be building any big store on land already purchased, they seem to be turning to developing residential on a few sites instead. If that is the case then I guess they would need to perform a minor U-turn on planning. No doubt the council will dance like a little puppet when Tesco start tuning up.

bridge too far Posted 9 November, 2014 Share Posted 9 November, 2014 So, Rallyboy, if Tesco doesn't OWN the land but Robinson does, then he will make a bigger killing if he gets PP for residential, won't he?
