miserableoldgit Posted 5 April, 2010 Share Posted 5 April, 2010 (edited) Oh, I forgot to mention - I think your crowds this year have been pretty impressive. However, I also think it's fair to point out that you have been offering special deals like the £5 offer for the Hartlepool game recently so I wouldn't crow about it too much. With the exception of two small areas in the Milton End and the North Stand we're still being asked to pay £30 - £40 a ticket to watch a team that was effectively relegated before a ball was kicked and is having any money we paid sip[honed off to Chainrai's BVI bank acount. I'm surprised the crowds have been as high as they have been in the circumstances But you are the "Bestest Fans in the World" aren`t you? Stick by the team through thick and thin don`t you? Stick a load of monkeys in "the shirt" and you would will fill Fratt*n wouldn`t you?? Apparently not. As for the occaissional offer at SMS, how many times have there been "offers" at FP? Giving away hundreds of tickets to anyone who turned up to clear snow and still couldn`t fill the place even then. You, sir, really are a deluded knob Edited 5 April, 2010 by miserableoldgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solentstars Posted 5 April, 2010 Share Posted 5 April, 2010 pompeys gate was pathetic seeing it was easter time ,you would have expected a bigger gate . i think they will be lucky to get 11,000 next season. i just cannot see why anyone would want to buy that club at all,its not like they have a big fan base .

Away allocation would not sell out Always sold out and couldn't get tickets my arse I removed the cup game attendances... you wouldn't want me comparing them to some of your cup attendances would you? So Corpy... out of 5 seasons, there is on average 2 games a season which dip more than 100 or 200 below capacity... funnily enough they are nearly all midweek, and with the exception of the Monday night game against West Ham... they are all against teams who you would not expect to sell out a 2000 allocation. Just incase you didn't hear me the first time... the away allocation was 2,000 - the upper and lower tiers of the East Stand... this could not be split and any unsold tickets could not be passed back to home fans... so if an away team brings 1000... the attendance straight away drops to about 14k I hope this answers your questions and satisfies your straw clutching.

Corporate Ho Posted 6 April, 2010 Share Posted 6 April, 2010 You are going back 20 years, to a time when we had a 15,000 capacity stadium and for a couple of games there was a boycott... apart from them few games you couldn't get into The Dell for toffee... infact there was a waiting list just to be a member. I removed the cup game attendances... So Corpy... out of 5 seasons, there is on average 2 games a season which dip more than 100 or 200 below capacity... funnily enough they are nearly all midweek, and with the exception of the Monday night game against West Ham... they are all against teams who you would not expect to sell out a 2000 allocation. Agree about the away ticket thing. I was saying the same on here about Pompey's gates before this season but everyone said I was talking 5hite. But there are plenty of games on that list where it wasn't due to away teams not selling allocations. But why would you remove the cup games Stuey? When you said that the only games when you didn't sell out was because of a boycott, what you actually meant was the only games we didn't sell out was when there was a boycott. Or it was a cup game. Or it was a midweek game. Or it was on TV. Or we just didn't sell enough tickets. PMSL. Face facts, there were plenty of occasions when for whatever reason you didn't sell out a 15,000 capacity ground. You said there was a waiting list for memberships so why didnt those people snap up tickets for midweek or cup games that were going begging? Pompey fans are being asked to pay nearly £40 to watch a team that's been relegated since before a ball was kicked with any decent players sold and the proceeds lining the pockets of a bunch of crooks. Is it any wonder crowds have dipped? Are you seriously telling me that in the same circumstances Saints crowds would still be selling out St Mary's? I thought Corp only posted when he was at work? I do usually but I've started my new job now (which I guess a quick ISP check by Baj compared to some old posts would confirm) and I don't get as much time as the job's much more hectic. Plus Stuey's funny little rant made me chuckle so much I felt I had to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any wonder crowds have dipped? Are you seriously telling me that in the same circumstances Saints crowds would still be selling out St Mary's? Why didn't cup games sell-out? Mainly due to the fact that The Dell was full for pretty much every game before the season even started, so people just didn't even bother trying for tickets. Didn't you get 10,000 for Premier League opposition this season in the cup, feel free to find a stat where we EVER had 10,000 for Premiership opposition. Plenty of occasions that we didn't sell-out? There is 3 games in a 6 year period where there is a possibility where there 'might' have been a couple of hundred tickets left on the day. I wouldn't say that it 'plenty' .... would you?

JustMike Posted 6 April, 2010 Share Posted 6 April, 2010 lets sit back and watch the skate attendances next season. my bet is they will have an average of around 12k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 6 April, 2010 Share Posted 6 April, 2010 Considerably less than those fans of ours who chose to stay away last season and run the risks Pompey fans now face. It makes of laugh that at times some posters can be so delusional it beggars belief. Perhaps i was one of the 11k at the Sheff Utd game last season who still can remember asking the question where have all the so called supporters gone ? 16k in relative terms dwarfs our efforts when the chips were down and we couldn t even deliver a coherent supporters association let alone a plan. Time to reign our thick necks in a touch ? You've been very quiet recently. Holiday? But inevitably you couldn't resist responding on this thread to raise this particular point in defence of the Skates' own version of you. Undoubtedly there were quite a few who boycotted the Lowe regime, although even then our attendances have often exceeded those at Krap Nottarf, even though we were a division below them at the time. If they have fans who as a matter of principle boycott their corrupt regimes of the past season, then I respect their position. It's the ones who are in denial about their low attendances that make me laugh. In defence of the Ho, he does admit that it's surprising that attendances at their dump have remained even at that poor level, so he clearly believes that there is a strong element of boycott with them too for similar reasons to ours. Our boycott rid us of the charlatans who had run the club for the past decade and brought about the arrival of the man who has changed our fortunes for the better. But we still had a decent stadium and infrastructure and low debt levels that made us an attractive proposition to a buyer. Ho knows if he is truthful that the Skates are a basket case. All this defence of his poxy club is not unexpected, but he knows in his heart that it is all bluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this defence of his poxy club is not unexpected, but he knows in his heart that it is all bluster. Don't disagree with most of this to be fair Wes it just seems odd that we were in a better position than Pompey but still deserted the club in our hour of need or least many did. If we spoke of percentages in terms of attendances vs capacity we were barely achieving 60% and even post admin when the call to arms went up he didn't break 28k even with Charlton's support. If Pompey's attendances fall to 12k next season they will be more than on a par with ours post relegation as 18k is c.55% and 20k is c.61.5%. We keep telling ourselves we have the larger fanbase so perhaps percentages rather than simple numbers is a more fairer way of d1ck waving. We got rid of a hated regime but unlike Pompey's they at least gave us a legacy worthy of saving and it is a much sadder state of affairs down the road. At least they have a supporters trust who seem more dynamic than our disjointed efforts ever were and facing up to the prospect of a new incarnation of Pompey something many of our fans refused to acknowledge in the dark days of Fialka and MLT's ostrich like endorsement. In my defence I have been very reserved in my comments on the whole sorry saga so whinging about my inability to resist a response is very wide of the mark. I may be in the minority but it will be a sad day for us all if our greatest rivals fold and for many on this forum who have become obsessed to the point of distraction by our neighbours. Having gone through the car crash scenario ourselves its very surprising we have quite so many rubber neckers. Even in our most recent moment of triumph our supporters could not simply celebrate the Saints winning the cup and we had to resort to the boring songs about Pompey. Sometimes it's best to focus on what we have (or not), than what others don't.

saintkiptanui Posted 6 April, 2010 Share Posted 6 April, 2010 Mmmmmm percentages, thats a great way to make the skates support look good but doesn't change the fact that they have less fans than we have although they are 2 leagues above.

Not relevant to your post but just to say I agree we have the larger fan base and therefore percentages of those that do attend vs capacity is a fair way of determining support. We have as many disaffected fans post administration as Pompey have currently - fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 6 April, 2010 Share Posted 6 April, 2010 We may or may not have more "disaffected" fans. I don't think that's what the thread is about. It's about the number of "affected", if you know what I mean, fans. Frankly whether ours are any good or not is irrelevant to whether Pompey's are any good or not. There's clearly aren't. This season has exposed them for what everyone with a small smattering of intelligence knew they were all along; a small time enterprise catering for brigands and ne'erdowells that could only ever achieve anything in TECNICOLOR by embracing reckless abandon. They have been shown up as pointless, putrid and pathetic. Yet they have somehow, probably due to their unusual appearance and quaint, anachronistic surroundings cultivated an image as somehow cherishable, as nostalgic emblems, as a hark back to what we all used to be. This season has shown that to be a complete crock of ****. Which is worth comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps when the personna is divorced from the former associations towards more contentious issues, the points made are more balanced.

StuRomseySaint Posted 7 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 7 April, 2010 Corpy... it's looking likely you won't sell-out your 30,000 allocation for an FA Cup Semi-Final Meanwhile we took 51,000 for a tinpot trophy.

StuRomseySaint Posted 7 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 7 April, 2010 sauce? This was there original selling plan. Wednesday, March 24: South stand upper season ticket holders Thursday, March 25: North stand upper season ticket holders Friday, March 26: Jobsite Stand (Fratton end) season ticket holders Saturday, March 27: North stand lower/south stand lower season ticket holders Monday, March 29: Pompey Blue members Tuesday, March 30: Supporters who have purchased tickets for three or more home games during the 2009/10 season A week on restricted general sale and they still haven't sold out so yesterday they allowed people who were on the database to buy tickets. Still no sell-out. So today they are letting STH's buy another 2 tickets each. http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/latest-news/Wembley-Tickets-Update-796.aspx :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes without saying that while we attempt to keep up with everything that's going on, we do all have our own jobs to do outside of the forum so can't always read every single post and thread, which is where we rely on the diligence of everyone else to report anything suspicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineteen Canteen Posted 7 April, 2010 Share Posted 7 April, 2010 Speculator has gone, there's more than enough evidence. After yesterday's antics in this thread I'm seriously considering just getting rid of 19C as well. More than enough evidence? A separate poster using the same IP address and with similar views as myself? Is it one username per household from now on then Steve? I would be interested to hear on what grounds you wish to get rid of me as well? Posting a valid alternative opinion? Not all Saint's fans start frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of Portsmouth and some just appreciate the much needed rivalry they provide. We are no better then Portsmouth when it comes down to filling our ground and so a thread based on some misdirected oneupmanship I think it should be challenged. Yes we have a bigger fan base allegedly, although how that can be proved I am not sure and yes we had 50k at Wembley but they sold out their FA Cup Final tickets didn't they and in any event where are all our supporters red and blue now? Not even 50% of our Wembley turnout bothered to come along and greet the team at the first home match since that win. Remember, I am an old school football fan and was bought up in a family who followed both red and blue for many years and still enjoy seeing both clubs do well. In my case I am a completely committed Saints fan but at the same time respect the role Portsmouth have played in our history and one I hope they continue to do so in the future. Or are you simply prejudiced against allegedly retarded ***** or posters who report such ignorant abuse? If you consider removing me perhaps you should consider dropping 'forum' from the title although you seem happy to let Portsmouth fans post their views or perhaps your particular branch of prejudice runs a little deeper?

If you don't wish to respond privately to the email I sent you then fine, I'll post on here instead. I've given you more than enough opportunities to stop being a complete and utter **** on here. Every single post is made with an angle with comments made designed to wind people up and generate a flamed response. I've done my best to give you a chance to post without getting retaliatory responses, but if you won't help yourself then I can't be arsed to waste my time anymore. You should be aware that I'm the only one out of all of the admin team who has been willing to give you any sort of a chance, but as I said, yesterday's antics were the final straw for me. I can't go on defending the indefensible. I'm sure you'll register another load of usernames, and rest assured, when we find them, they'll be banned as well. I have no issue with you holding an opinion. That's what a forum is for, and I've defended your right to hold those opinions more times than I care to remember on here. What I'm not prepared to defend is the clear way in which you post those opinions to generate vitriol in response so you can then report the perpetrators in some sort of mock indignation that people might not like the way you act on here. As it goes, as a result of your post, I've just made my decision. Cheerio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
