Shance Posted 31 March, 2016 Share Posted 31 March, 2016 They burned that particular bridge long, long ago. It might well have been in their first (there have been so many it's difficult to seperate them) administration under the old Gregory regime that they failed to cough up around £60,000 to the RN for hire of facilities at Burnaby Road - after which they started using Wellington Sports Ground in Stoneham Lane - which they also failed to pay for. During a particularly wet spell two seasons ago they asked Solent University if they could hire their 3G pitch at Test Park to get some training in. Solent told them it would cost them £120 per hour to hire and the club asked the uni to invoice them. Solent said they could only have use of the facility if they turned up with cash on the day. Apparently the university doesn't demand this of local, junior league sides and are happy to invoice them. But invoicing p****y is a different matter. Haha. That's quality!

I've tried to keep quiet about this so far but I can't keep it in any more. They're still up to this old invoicing trick even now. A friend of mine is owed a 6 figure sum from them and they outright refuse to acknowledge him. I can't go into detail incase it makes it too obvious to blue eyes who I'm talking about. But they're behaviour has been disgraceful and nearly cost him his house. He used to be a ST holder but has since turned to H&W for a football fix. Once the ordeal is sorted I'll post the full details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 Again this needs to be considered in conjunction with the apparent £1.1m extra paid in advance for season tickets. There was a £489,000 net cash outflow from operating activities DESPITE season ticket holders paying £1.1m more in advanced season ticket sales before the end of June. Given that this increase won't be repeated; the underlying cash outflow from operating activities was £1.6m. Good job Iain And don't forget the Tesco money. That's gone as well.

Notice that the banks won't even give them a credit facility which should tell you more than enough! And to give them credit for six figures is financial suicide for a small business!

Have it on good authority that Pompey Youth used to use a separate training facility along Stoneham Lane and there were problems with paying the hire charge The then youth team coach, Andy Awford,eventually had to pay by cash in advance to ensure they could continue to use the pitches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingeletiss Posted 1 April, 2016 Share Posted 1 April, 2016 And I don't understand how a 4th division football club can have debtors of £5m. Who owes them £5m? At a guess, I'd say the shareholders, they just don't know it yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 3 April, 2016 Share Posted 3 April, 2016 From the BBC's report on the JPT final between Barnsley and Oxford Utd: "But the U's, currently second in League Two and supported by 34,000 fans at Wembley, could not seriously test Davies again in the closing stages. Surely not? Aren't Oxford typical of the two-bob, no-mark clubs in League Two that are not fit to grace the same division as p****y and should give thanks every day of the week that they are lucky enough to have the chance to play in front of the bestest, hugest support twice a season?

hutch Posted 5 April, 2016 Share Posted 5 April, 2016 So they've got, what, half a dozen first team players in on loan 'til the end of the season?

What's Leicester got to do with anything? By them winning the league it means they jump up to 5 trophies.

rallyboy Posted 9 April, 2016 Share Posted 9 April, 2016 Come and meet the bus? Presumably the guys who didn't get paid were less keen on a reunion. And to throw a dash of historical accuracy in, the very worthy Pompey Pals battalions included men recruited from as far afield as Liphook and Warsash, so rather than hogging it on Portsea they could take that exhibition around the county, perhaps on the most famousest bus?
