Golden Balls Posted 3 August, 2015 Share Posted 3 August, 2015 Just looked at my timehop. 2 years ago made great reading. It was supposed to be the day they started again. The day when they took the league by storm and began their ascent back to the premier league. The motto was 'Ours' which quickly became "Oxford United Ruined Saturday" Portsmouth 1-4 Oxford United. Out came reports of fans being silenced, fans leaving early, fans booing and fans fighting amongst themselves in the stands. They ended the day 93rd in the league pyramid and it hasn't got much better since. Oh how riddled with jealousy I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 if it's that Burnham I'm sure they used to play in the Slough and District Industrial League, or similar..

Matthew Le God Posted 5 August, 2015 Share Posted 5 August, 2015 (edited) The chairman and CEO on the BBC Solent forum really sound like ameteur hour at the deluded madhouse. - Chairman Ian McInnes tonight at the fans forum said Adidas make better quality kits than Sondico. I'm sure that Gerald Ratner like comment will go down well with Pompey's suppliers Sondico. - McInnes also "joked" he wouldn't take it seriously a Saints fan was killed at Fratton Park from falling masonry. Ok, it was an attempt at humour, but its hardly professional to make such comments at a public forum. - Mark Catlin (the CEO) can barely string a coherent sentence together. How he is in charge of a company I have no idea, he just sounds (how should I put this nicely?)... thick. ...and finally the fans in the Victory lounge take delusion to a whole new level! Its laughable some of the myths they believe and have convinced themselves of. Edited 5 August, 2015 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its laughable some of the myths they believe and have convinced themselves of. I listened to this attempt at comedy hour in the car McInnes obviously sees himself as some kind of joker (perhaps that is, in fact, an apt description) It is fine to make jokes about rival fans/clubs but suggesting that it would be preferable that masonry from the crumbling stadium should fall on the head of a rival fan is probably not the wisest comment to be made by a senior official at Pompey. Again, whilst I am sure he was not too far from the mark with his very damning comments on Peter Storrie he could easily find himself at the wrong end of a writ. The new Manager comes with a reasonable CV at Chesterfield but his cheeky Scouse patter may not have gone down too well especially when he couldn't remember the names of some of his backroom staff. However he was able to wax lyrical about the U21's winning 5-0 at Burnham (who??) last night Interesting to see the ex Scummah, Scott Bevan, is GK coach at Pompey this season. To balance things up, I suppose you have to give Pompey fans some credit for selling 11,000 season tickets again (even though they are cheap) Interesting comparison here, someone at the club told me that if Saints sold all their hospitality for the season it equates to all the gate money Pompey get from an average 15,000 home attendance.
