Danbert Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 Apparently, it's now an advantage to them to be crap, because they're not special anymore, no other teams will be upping their games just because it's Pompey, allowing them to sneak in under the radar and get promoted anyway, or some such utter rubbish. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/portsmouth-can-hopefully-fly-under-the-promotion-radar-now-that-not-many-people-probably-fancy-us-1-9191279 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like a new stand is being built, just a touch up here and there. They still have the pillars blocking the view. Laughable. It's hard to see where has the increased capacity come from? Mind you, the 45% increase is ********. It held 2800 previously, so this massive redevelopment is adding 400 seats (15% increase) and a disabled section. Impressive. It looks like they have given up on buying every house on Alverstone Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, the `get out clause' enabling Eisner to keep his cash in his pocket for a while longer. Maybe time to get Donna Jones in for another bit of `consultancy'. Her dual role of Shiite Park Expansion Consultant and PCC leader can surely help here somehow. Perhaps she and the other councillors haven't been made aware that PFC generates £20m for the local economy every Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any other new stands built in the last 30 years that have pillars in the way. Blackpool is the only I can think of and that is a temporary-permanent stand I believe. Bescott Stadium has them IIRC and that stadium is around 30 years old. That looks awful and all for 400 seats. No doubt the toilets and other facilities will continue to be in keeping with the Edwardian period character of the ground. Meanwhile the two main stands continue to be hazards, the like of which mostly disappeared by the Millennium and many after the Taylor Report. For anyone on here who has been undercover (I couldn't face it personally) is the Fratton End as the only semi-modern stand any better on that front? Even that looks tatty from the back.

Chez Posted 29 January, 2020 Share Posted 29 January, 2020 The only way I want to see them out of Div 3 is downwards, but not much hope of that unless they can get caught out with dodgy finances or something. Maybe Eisener will discover that they can't threaten to up sticks should the local council not pay for the new stadium infrastructure, like they do in the US, and decide to sell the club back to the fans. With creased tablecloths at the ready, the fans then announce exciting plans to spend less on the team and more on the new stadium. Unfortunately, they get the balance wrong and the team starts to struggle. Relegation to Division 4 eventually follows despite the reappointment of the flat fish whisperer Paul Cook.

The9 Posted 30 January, 2020 Share Posted 30 January, 2020 I can't believe that they are considering rebuilding that stand, but still leaving pillars in place (to hold the roof up) that obstruct the views of those in the stand. I can't think of any other new stands built in the last 30 years that have pillars in the way. Blackpool rebuilt stand 4 on the cheap and it has pillars, the other 3 sides are basically mini St Mary's. Can't remember if Walsall has pillars at Bescot but I think it does, another near the 30 year mark, the 30 year cutoff rules out Glanford Park by a couple of years which is annoying. Exeter may also have done this but not in either of their two most recently rebuilt stands. That's enough of that anyway, they did well just putting a roof on it and refurbing the loos 3 years ago - I thought the big Saints logo in the away loos was a bit much tbf, it wasn't there for Newport County's numerous League 2 away wins.

badgerx16 Posted 30 January, 2020 Share Posted 30 January, 2020 Blackpool rebuilt stand 4 on the cheap and it has pillars, the other 3 sides are basically mini St Mary's. The east stand at Bloomfield Road is one of those permanent "temporary" structures, it was erected to comply with the regulations of the Premier League. Before being given the Order of the Boot, the Oystons were trying to gain additional land along Back Henry Street so as to continue the development of that side of the ground in similar form to the other 3 sides.

Heisenberg Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 If they are going to go up I'd prefer they do it automatically rather than through the excitement of the playoffs and Wembley They've hit form at the right time and look odds on now to go up.

Golden Balls Posted 1 February, 2020 Share Posted 1 February, 2020 Going up is exactly against what the owners want. They want the income of the play offs but not the expense of trying to survive in the Championship. A play off final defeat is their ideal outcome.
