OldNick Posted 28 July, 2009 Share Posted 28 July, 2009 If they do lose him, Distin, Campbell, to add to Crouch, Johnson, and Davis already gone - will they be able to even get a squad together as good as Derby's last time? I wouldnt be surprised if David james was off as well, HR needs another keeper.Of course they was not going to be a firesale down there.

NickG Posted 29 July, 2009 Share Posted 29 July, 2009 (edited) Portsmouth are a big club. Following their relegation from the top flight Portsmouth were in 2nd tier from 1989-2003. Their attendances during this time, averaged (remember this includes just after relegation and also the season they won the division)....11,700. Saints time in 2nd tier, finished with relegation, we averaged an attendance of 21,568. Shame we didn't quite double their crowds! When Portsmouth were in 3rd tier, in 1982 they averaged 8,500. We have so far sold 10,000 season tickets for the 3rd tier - so once again, a like for like comparison -we have double the fans.

Wes Tender Posted 30 July, 2009 Share Posted 30 July, 2009 The trouble with the Skates at the moment, is that they are suffering Peter and the Wolf syndrome. Compiling a list of the players that they say they have got to the stage of just needing a signature on the contract and then seeing that somehow, unfortunately the deal has not gone through, indicates one of two things. Either they are extremely unlucky in picking those targets which end up being fraught with problems, or else they have been faking these targets, never seriously wishing to proceed with them at all. It has got to the stage now that most people, including some of their own fans, have concluded that the latter reason might have some substance behind it. The club is skint, the new owner is nowhere near as wealthy as originally thought, especially if those originally rumoured to be backing him have mysteriously withdrawn, presumably because there are doubts as to whether they would pass the right and proper persons criteria set by the FA. The old owner is still hanging around like a stale fart, attempting to get as much money back from the club as he can before it all goes belly-up. The top managers who were trumpeted, such as Sven and Mancini never materialised. Instead they got Hart whose previous profile made few ripples on most football fans' consciousness. Top imported strikers, Maradonna, all sufficient hot air to fuel another attempt at an around the World balloon flight. The veneer is wearing very thin. Any club who now recieves an enquiry for one of their best players, will soon be telling the Skates to go and annoy somebody else, as they will not be taken seriously.

I find myself being drawn to a Poopey fans forum in an entirely unhealthy way, but then again it is the most fun read you'll ever get, watching those funny unevolved creatures slowly grasping the reality of their situation. Maybe I'm just missing the rollercoaster ride at SMS - let's face it, the Skates thread is the only interesting thing going on in this forum at the moment.

I had heard that the good people of Pompey could only count to 5 but even a cursory glance would show they had at least 6 England internationals on the books last season (Campbell, Crouch, Defoe, James, Johnson, Nugent). I would not be surprised if Nugent was the only one left for the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way you try and knock a identikit stadium, you'd kill for 1. Lol. If the new man doesn't get you a stadium pretty soon I doubt you'll ever get one. No need to get 1 if you start to get lower attendances (which I suspect5 will happen this season) or if you do indeed get relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
