Snopper Posted 28 April, 2018 Share Posted 28 April, 2018 Well that’s them in the third division for yet another year ! Lost to the mighty (and already relegated) Bury ! Oh dear, how sad ! Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 28 April, 2018 Share Posted 28 April, 2018 Before the toothless and their sisters rise from their hibernation and return here to celebrate their love of Bournemouth, let's give a nod of recognition to Mack. He didn't hide, he kept sticking his head up even when his club closed to make way for a new one and became irrelevant to the rest of football. Fair play to him. Yep Mack is the one who at least comes across and shows some stick. There again, he nearly dropped his guard and showed a bit of the dark side. I'm sorry Mack that your lot have failed in the rise to glory but I would say I'm a tad pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 29 April, 2018 Share Posted 29 April, 2018 I admire any keeper who has the confidence and technical skill to attempt a Cruyff turn on the edge of his own six yard box... That said, the training ground is probably the best place to have your first clumsy attempt, rather than in an actual match. But it was worth it for the comedy value - a nice way to confirm Division Three status next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 29 April, 2018 Share Posted 29 April, 2018 Just seen the goal. :-) As an occasional keeper I normally have a bit of sympathy for keepers but in this case it seems to have disappeared. Why was he flapping his hands afterwards - he seemed to be suggesting it was somebody else's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they’re playing for one automatic promotion spot. How long before they start complaining about Sunderland’s ‘unfair’ financial advantage?

landford.saint Posted 30 April, 2018 Share Posted 30 April, 2018 I heard this and don't think it's true. But has anyone else heard the rumour. Basically Mr Eisner, is looking to dispose of the Skates. He has become disenchanted with some groups of the fans, the intransigence of local government planning dept's and that there are in place covenants on the land at Fat Pipes Park, meaning it can only be used for sporting/leisure purposes, greatly reducing its value when trying to use it as an asset to raise money to move or redevelope the stadium. Has anyone heard of these covenants? Or is any of this in the slightest bit plausible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooh it's a corner Posted 1 May, 2018 Share Posted 1 May, 2018 Why do foreign investors get suckered in with this stuff? Surely if he realised he needed to move the stadium, he would have understood what restrictions there were on the current one? Surely he would have spent a little bit of time thinking, "I wonder if anyone else has ever tried to move a football stadium out of the city it is currently in?". These folks have a lot of money and a distinct lacking in common sense. Fratton Park will never be allowed to be built outside of the city of Portsmouth, which is the most densely populated patch on this little island of ours. They had their chance to build a better stadium by turning it through 90 degrees and using the land alongside it. They chose not to do that. They are now stuck with a time-warp of a stadium that must be getting to the age where it would be cheaper to tear it down and rebuild, rather than maintain it each and every year. What on earth did Mr Eisner think he was going to achieve? Buy the club for £5m, sell Fratton Park for £50m and build a 15,000 seater stadium in Havant and trouser the difference? Mental.

rallyboy Posted 1 May, 2018 Share Posted 1 May, 2018 My recollection is that the restrictions on use always ruled out selling the site and cramming houses and commercial property on it. The only way they'll get money for The Fortress of Fat is if they stick it on Homes Under the Hammer and some dimwit local builder jumps in without reading the legal pack. But at least he'll get Nelson's computer table, the shroud of Turin and the grassy knoll used by the CIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel I was hoping we'd picked up on this, saw it earlier in the week, a share on one of my friends' lists prompted about 10 people in the Northam (including myself) to indicate that it definitely didn't happen, and Steve Grant chipped in to point out that it doesn't even scan and fit the song... I can only even remember Defoe getting one "you Skate b'stard" when he came on for that matter. Add it to the pile o'myths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
