rallyboy Posted 5 January, 2017 Share Posted 5 January, 2017 Why do they keep calling each home game a sellout or a packed house? They have 3,000 empty seats - unless the council has closed a section of the ground and pompey have forgotten to tell anyone? Or they are telling fibs again...

SW5 SAINT Posted 9 January, 2017 Share Posted 9 January, 2017 I just keep wondering why they don't manage to make their huge crowd advantage, count financially down in that division. I see Hereford with average crowds of between 3,500 and on occasions over 4,500 are blowing away all competition in the ninth and eighth tiers of English football. It must take a special ineptitude with that advantage to remain rooted in the fourth tier of English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate him down there and he seems to be unable to get the squad with the largest budget (I would imagine, I haven't checked if this is factual) out of the worst division in the FL. Also, why would he want to leave?!? They're sleeping giants and with that fanbase, I can't imagine anyone wanting to leave...

Cook added: ‘Portsmouth Football Club is the story. ‘But these lads now must be allowed to breathe and deliver what they’re here for. ‘The pressure at this club gets cranked up by the day. The pressure is around to get promoted. ‘If we speak about it every day, every disappointment is going to be another brick to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 13 January, 2017 Share Posted 13 January, 2017 No, he joined them for the love of it, and that went for the backroom staff and players as well. Many took pay cuts - none of them grabbed at the longest contracts in League Two on inflated wages through greed. It's all about the honour of playing in front of the nearly sold-out, nearly fan-owned, fat-free faithful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 16 January, 2017 Share Posted 16 January, 2017 (edited) Watched the highlights, looked like there was an entire block of empty seats in the away end. Surely some mistake... RE: Newport v Portsmouth on Boxing Day - Plymouth fans managed to break the temp seating the week before in the FA Cup replay, so they weren't allowed to use that block. The fact they hadn't sold enough tickets for that to be an issue was the interesting bit. As for the match, yeah, County went 2-0 up and completely deserved it, then fell apart as they have been all season. Enjoyed it hugely for an hour though! Still, County have signed 9 free transfers/loans so when I go to Fratton in a couple of months they might be up for a 4th successive win at Fratton.

Crab Lungs Posted 16 January, 2017 Share Posted 16 January, 2017 LOL. Does a thread about Pompey's proposed takeover that reaches three pages in a couple of hours once again demonstrate just how little you care about Pompey? FWIW, while the deal could still fall apart I was told yesterday by someone who's actually involved in the takeover that whilst there were still a few issues to sort out it's still very much on. Time will tell I guess, but I wouldn't laugh too loudly too soon if I were you. I'm not party to the whole thing but if the rumour about where the money's coming from (and how much of it there is ready to be used on players and improving the club) are true you lot are going to be pig sick. Err, I think you'll find that Pompey's position is built on loans from banks rather than any money from Gaydamak. Britain's position in the world however is more than partly built on arms dealing. If you really find arms dealing that distasteful and want to assume a moral high ground I suggest you emigrate. I assume you're talking about Hydra Properties here. Rather than being "sacked" Al Fahim is no longer CEO of Hydra but is still a main board director of the company. As for raising the money from Abu Dhabi, that's not where it's rumoured to be coming from. Try Germany.

Crab Lungs Posted 16 January, 2017 Share Posted 16 January, 2017 There was an interesting quote in the arab press when he was interviewed about buying the club. He said, "I've not just bought a football club, I've bought a city". Leaving aside your infantile jokes that will no doubt follow that, it's interesting. Given that his background is in property development I suspect that he's going to leverage the goodwill he'll generate from the council to make money from property development once the market picks up. He's already said he's in this for the long haul so there's no quick buck. The media have been banging on about the fit and proper test ever since his bid became public. Plenty of them reported that Shinawatra was involved (5 Live included) which turned out to be completely false. Pompey and Al Fahim have been unusually tight lipped over the details on this one and none of the media have been right about any of it at any stage of the process. Al Fahim knows what the PL need for the FAPPT and I can't see how he would make any mistakes in what he presents to them. Can't see this test being a stumbling block. Only problem I can see is if Gaydamak refuses to drop the price or if there's an issue with terms of bank loan repayments and the way they're structured/ paid etc. You lot make me laugh. "Back where they belong" "Back where we belong". Look chaps, we are where we belong because we won enough points to stay in the Prem. You're where you belong because you ****ed up your chance when you refused to buy good enough players and pay decent salaries and then weren't good enough to avoid two (count them) relegations. You are where you belong. You've earned the right to be there. Just like we have. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=377953#post377953 Superb.
