Weston Super Saint Posted 17 July, 2017 Share Posted 17 July, 2017 Is this the week that the takeover will happen? It's been many weeks since they voted and agreed so unless there's a problem with the F&PPT then surely it should all be sorted this week....

JRM Posted 18 July, 2017 Share Posted 18 July, 2017 It sounds like some maintenance work is being done at the ground this summer, according to ticket news for their showpiece preseason game against Premier league opposition (Bournemouth) currently just the Fratton end open for home fans. Milton End for away. North and South stands closed for work being done. Does this mean they'll have the whole stadium open again this season? https://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/matches/fixtures/first-team/201718/july/pompey-v-bournemouth-on-22-jul-17/#tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 18 July, 2017 Share Posted 18 July, 2017 Most normal businesses would have the ground open for their first games, perhaps they discovered more issues that needed sorting? This work is presumably part of the emergency upgrades that led to the takeover. It was either that or the Property Developing Trust coughing up £1m a summer for five years, which would have involved getting the begging buckets out again. Not any old buckets - the ones used by Moses to part the Red Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 22 July, 2017 Share Posted 22 July, 2017 By the end of these current works, all the remaining escrow money will have been spent – and some more. Pompey’s capacity currently registers at 18,931. In the interests of avoiding further reduction, the club are co-operating with Portsmouth City Council’s building control and licensing officers. Work required to maintain even the current capacity is considerable. All as predicted on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
