buctootim Posted 13 November, 2016 Share Posted 13 November, 2016 4-0 seemed like a good win for them - until I realised three of their goals came against nine men, the only one which didnt was a penalty and they got booed again.

rallyboy Posted 14 November, 2016 Share Posted 14 November, 2016 It's been alleged that their award-winning CeO lost it with an old man at the Mansfield game and shouted abuse at him. It seems that the local paper doesn't want to touch this story, thus cementing their position as the official PR partner of the club. + pompey fans booed their own team when they were leading at home against nine men - a move criticised by the local paper - thus cementing their position as the official PR partner of the club. #normalweek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fine is to be deducted from any prize money / participation fee owed by the league to the club's, clever move as they don't need to chase them for payment and it'll probably mean that the Skates made a loss hosting games and competing in this competition.

Why would they overlook #Pompey? They're definitely not jealous at all. lol Having been there in the last 12 months I can confirm that Notts County's ground is well-maintained and not at all dated, has good, clean, modern corporate facilities and offices on site and has been reasonably recently developed. They're also one of the oldest professional clubs in the world, and gave their colours to the world-renown Juventus, which makes them pretty historically significant. About the only similarities are the League Two status, and that they're also the second-biggest club in their immediate vicinity by some distance (though being the worst within 300 yards is worse than 30 miles, apparently Gosport are having a takeover soon, so who knows?). I have also assumed they own their own training ground. This wouldn't even be the first high-profile Notts County takeover either, remember when they appointed Sven?

The9 Posted 17 November, 2016 Share Posted 17 November, 2016 So Portsmouth played a weakened side? As they seem to have a large squad for the division and play people fairly randomly it seems difficult to tell. Ignoring the (all too) obvious joke, the regulations are very clear that you must play at least 5 players from the previous League match. My favourite bit about this is that Luton also played 3 weakened teams according to the regulations, were fined £15k, and because they're smart about it, will be paying it off with the £20k they got from getting through to the next round nevertheless, along with banking £5k in prize money to boot. FWIW it looks pretty clear from the early going that Plymouth are winning L2, Carlisle will go up with them, and with a 5 point gap already open, Doncaster, Luton and the Skates will be fighting it out for one final promotion place with the other two probably having the opportunity to play each other at Wembley in May. So there's about 33% chance they'll get automatic promotion, a 75% chance they'll make the play-off final and about a 50/50 in that. So that's about a 1/3 chance of automatic, or if they miss out on that a 1/3 chance of play-off promotion. Ish. Still, long way to go, someone (including them) could yet fall to bits, and Newport, who've been bottom for the entire season and still are, are now only 6 points off 10th place.
