rallyboy Posted 14 September, 2015 Share Posted 14 September, 2015 Probably a guess by the journalist - and half of that amount may well have gone on the ground safety + the elusive Championship floodlights this summer. So I reckon that many of the club's benefits of the Tesco deal are already gone, though the property developers are doing fine.

hutch Posted 15 September, 2015 Share Posted 15 September, 2015 The reason they used gravel is because you have to put proper gulleys and drains in under tarmac. Drains aren't cheap, as they found out after they laid their new pitches. They'll discover the problem when the winter rain comes. Then they'll blame the contractor. Again.

So from POL, what I can tell you is that they are under investigation for racist chanting by the police and their stewards are recorded as doing nothing about it and allowing it to continue, this surely is fairly serious?

FWIW Newport's Trust's accounts due diligence also showed a bit of a worrying hole where certain payments of that nature were meant to be, but have implied that one's down to the Lottery winner not being very good or particularly bothered about the club's accounting since he decided to leave, allegedly.

The thing is, as Saints fans we have never had to watch football that sh!t. We throw the term "sh!t" around, for example "Kelvin Davis is sh!t at crosses" but we don't really understand how sh!t some teams are. Through our whole history we have never been at Pompey's current level of sh!tness - and this is their best team in years. I guess to come close we have to think of the worst ever Saints team you have watched. I guess from our 2009/10 season in League One. Then think of the worst player in that side, on their worst day. Imagine them a bit sh!tter - then you probably have the equivalent of Pompey's current best player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Dagenham and Redbridge v Newport County on Saturday. 0-0 between the two sides which are currently the bottom two in the entire Football League. The standard was better than I was expecting, even though I did upload a video of an absolutely awful free-kick, and I've seen a lot of crap football. Worth noting that almost the entire Newport team is now ex-non-League players, players who have been recently relegated from League 2 (or League 1 when squad players) or never played in the League before, and they were still surprisingly organised. Were never going to score though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
