igsey Posted 12 November, 2019 Share Posted 12 November, 2019 Had a brief look on Twitter and their subreddit during the game, around 75% of the Twitter comments were people complaining about TCWTB. General consensus among the Pompey fans is that they were awful and lucky to get past a Harrogate Town team who outplayed them for most of the game. Still, buys Jackett another game or two and brings them within a game of the third round drawer, so maybe it won't all be four nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair both their goals were excellent, but that was the difference between the two teams. Their £2m summer signing looked like a pub player, he was awful, as was the big lad at the back with the pony tail, must have missed the ball about 5 times when he was trying to clear it, real kids stuff. Harrogate were the better team and although the artificial pitch might have made a difference Pompey really were awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danbert Posted 20 November, 2019 Share Posted 20 November, 2019 Currently, at give away prices, Pompey have an average league attendance, including plenty of season ticket holders who don't actually attend, discounted tickets for UoP staff and students etc., of 17,892, making them the third best-supported team in League 1 (congrats on that by the way). Fratton Park's current reduced capacity is 19,669, and if they fixed the roof 21,000 people could watch Pompey lose in discomfort. I'd be curious to see the feasibility studies which are going to convince Network Rail and the council to invest millions in advance of Pompey spending a single penny upgrading Fratton Park to a 30,000-seater turd bowl. Where exactly do they expect these hordes of new supporters to magically appear from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 20 November, 2019 Share Posted 20 November, 2019 Many of the locals are starting to ask questions abut Disney and the lack of progress relating to the new stadium. The idea that development would be held up over a bridge is seen as a very lame excuse and as a result some think that raises doubt about Eisner's intentions. Three years in they wonder if they would be any worse off if they hadn't sold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years in they wonder if they would be any worse off if they hadn't sold up. It's a bit like Brexit. Boris Johnson patently didn't want to take the UK out with no deal. He wanted to be stopped, whereafter he could point fingers at the "Brexit traitors." Similarly, given the ridiculous conditions attached, it looks suspiciously like Eisner has no intention of actually doing the stadium work - he just wants someone to blame.

trousers Posted 27 November, 2019 Share Posted 27 November, 2019 (edited) Begging bowl out again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50573890 Pompey are seeking financial help from both the city council and Network Rail. The League One club are keen to increase capacity towards 30,000 from just under 20,000. "We're saying 'meet us halfway'," Catlin said. "We're willing to invest money in the ground, but the transport infrastructure also has to improve." "It's a very, very big project and until we get some real help from elsewhere, we're not really going to commit to starting it, so we can't put a timescale on it." Hmmm.... use taxpayers' money to fund a new hospital or two, or help a decrepit tinpot football club (whose predecessor at Fratton Park fleeced the taxpayer for millions) build a new stadium...? Tricky dilema that one.... Edited 27 November, 2019 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
