Has cortese really met with fans about this and appilied for planning?

Great news if its true and we can get into/stay in the prem.

Surely its not just because we are hosting some rugby world cup games in 2015? Are they giving us some funds

Made up news travels quickly on the Internet.

[The9]

He definitely mentioned it at the last cosy sit-down chat dinner the had, but there's no planning application yet, as that website is public access. Plenty of stages before that.

 

Just to save everyone the hassle... "super fans" "catchment area the size of England and some of Europe" "can't build on the Itchen" "£3000 per additional seat" "Markus Liebherr stadium" "playing computer games in your bedroom" "waiting list for season tickets" "MK Dons and Wolves have expanded" and so on and so forth.

Now is the time to do it, we could fill 44k tomorrow easily. Afterall, they said man would never set foot on the moon.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Matt Le God to the forum please....Turkish is waiting (or should that be baiting?)

[stev2001]

It is probably not necessary at the mo, but as these things take so long to process surely it makes good business sense to start the process now for when we have established ourselves in the Prem

I think we should go for 120,000 capacity to trump the Nou Camp, San Siro, Wembley and Old Trafford and establish and cement ourselves as the biggest club on earth.

I wonder if that'll be enough. Dont forget most of Wales, Cornwall and Devon will come to SMS to see premier league football when we get there. We are catering for half the country.

[stev2001]

Yes maybe 44k is not enough:lol:

[Wes Tender]

Oh bo11ocks, I knew I'd forget one.

Yes, you can always rely on Turkish to add the square root of f*ck all to the debate. Mind you, he has been known to be wrong sometimes. He predicted on another thread that we wouldn't achieve promotion last year, so what would he know about the potential future of the club?

and he arrives, bang on cue. Adding his blinding and unarguable logic to the arguement that a medium sized football club can treble in size in 6 months and become as big as Barcelona because they said man would never climb everest.

When is your mental age going to catch up with your physical age? If I didn't know otherwise, I'd have guessed that you were about 12.

 

I never said anything along the lines that we could treble in size, or that we could be the new Barcelona. But you certainly said that we had blown our chances of promotion last season. I can't be arsed to dig it out, but I'm sure that most on here will remember the egg all over your face when they were reminded of your prediction recently, so your credibility is pretty low when it comes to predictions as to what is possible or not for us.

as i will be 58 in 2012 i think stairlifts should be installed on all gang ways, walking up to FF takes longer each week

My mate went to one of the bum-kissing meals and he said Cortese mentioned it, he told me a few details but I was too p!ssed to remember.

[RedAndWhite91]

Careful now, let's not get too carried away with rumours. Remember P*mpey fans getting all excited over this?

 

 

Obviously not gonna happen... And on a hilarious side-note unrelated to this thread, a few quotes from the article I got that picture from:

 

Chief executive Peter Storrie said: “This will be the most spectacular stadium in the country.

 

"The fact it is set against the backdrop of the harbour and the English Channel befits the club’s history.

 

“Portsmouth FC is moving to a new dawn with the backing of Alexandre Gaydamak.

 

"This shows where Pompey want to be — playing at the highest level and in a stadium befitting a Premiership side.”

 

 

 

Boss Harry Redknapp said: “These are exciting times to be a Pompey fan.

 

"We are having our best season for 50 years and the club is moving in the right direction on all fronts. The future looks great.”

 

Heheheh.

When are you going to get it? It's doesn't f*cking matter what QPR need. It doesn't f*cking matter that Chelsea only got 13k in 1982. It doesn't f*cking matter that Wolves might. Maybe. One day. Possibly. If Saturn and Venus are aligned and they sell out a stadium of 26k a week, expand their stadium to 45k or whatever. It's doesn't f*cking matter what Fulham, Liverpool, Sunderland, Dagenham, Cardiff, Aberdeen or Wilsa Krakov do. None of it, not one little bit of it, is evidence Southampton FC need or can fill a 45,000 stadium.

It does matter, because I think most people here (or even in the country) would consider QPR to have a smaller fanbase than Saints. If QPR then think they can justify a 45k stadium, it shows it is perhaps not unreasonable to think Saints could as well.

If QPR's owners decide they are going to use their stonking wealth to get the club into the Champions league then enough people from London's 7 million population will switch allegiance and fill their expanded stadium. Those Hammersmith, Ealing, Chiswick, Fulham, Kensington residents arent going to go to SMS even if we did reach the CL.

It has been my life long ambition to be a credible poster on an anoynomous internet forum. I dont deny i said that, i said it about this time last year when we were bloody awful and i said it again February after witnessing a defeat in a lame midweek away performance devoid of ideas, creativity and spirit against a team with the 2nd worst home record in the country at that time. Promotion looked a mile off and i was glad to be wrong as we went onto win 13 of our next 14 games on an incredible run which no one saw coming and as it turned out was needed given the form of Huddersfield. So sneer if you want that i wasnt confident of us going on the best winning run in history after losing at the team second bottom.

 

Did you drive to Wallsall that night? Or were you sitting at home behind your keyboard dreaming of the champions league. the 5 year plan. Beating AC Milan and Real Madrid with our team full of academy graduates. Our massively expanded stadium. Winning the league and proving that you dont need to spend £300m to do it, you just need a good academy.

 

When is your sense of reality going to catch up with your physical age? If i didn't know better i'd guess you were a head in the clouds dreamer about 12.

We are Southampton, were expand if we want !

[cellone]

What is the big deal?

[Dr Who?]

I remember when all these teams were building 'Premier League' stadiums or 'top flight' stadiums, and all you used to hear was they have the stadium for the Premier League/top flight. You mainly heard this about Wolves in there never ending quest to try and get to the top, and yes they now have a 'Premier League Stadium.

 

It really does not matter, it is a little bit like the fast/sports car car syndrome, and play ground banter, we have a bigger stadium than you! I think that we should do it though, just shows the ambition, and we get to use it for other events as well.

 

You know what I heard it tonight, Charlton have a great set up, and a wonderful stadium that is fitting for the top flight....I think the top flight would have a few to many clubs in it!! The sad thing is the Valley was pretty empty for a team that have just gone 7 points clear in league one.

Reading Turkish's posts on this forum provides a wonderful example of why internet access shouldn't be allowed in schools.

[The9]

The only redeeming thing about this thread is the picture of the Pompey Urinal.

 

Can we get a song sorted for all their non-existent ground plans?

 

Something like

 

"I went down to Gunwharf

And this is what they said

You won't find a ground here mate

I think you're off your head. "

 

"I went down to Farlington...."

 

"I tried to turn the pitch around... "

 

And finishwith

"I went down to Fratton

And this is what they said

You won't find a ground here mate

Cos Pompey's fuc-king dead"

 

Then maybe "One Team in Hampshire ". I await your criticisms with vague disinterest. All my own work, 5am.

[david in sweden]

...........but they didn't Turkish, it was all a Hollywood PR trick, look at all the counter-evidence on You Tube !

Slightly bigger seats would be nice. Heated seats, with padding. Nice.

 

....and an extra 10 quid for the commode option. Saves getting of ones arse.

What a shame that you're so far away from realising that ambition.

 

Never mind though, you're way ahead in the better fan stakes, as you went to Walsall that night, whereas I, with a family life, only mainly attend home matches as a long time ST holder. Yes, I do dream of better things for my club. Heck, they're already much better than they were a year ago when you were so pessimistic about us.

 

Quite what a sense of reality has to do with age, I don't know. Your sense of reality was way wide of the mark last year and how old are you? I can imagine the tirade of juvenile abuse I would have got from you then, had I forecast that we would not only be in the second division next year, but also clear at the top at the end of November.

 

But then this illustrates nicely why you have a long way to go to achieve your ambition to be a credible poster.

Prehaps i could learn a bit more from you? Tell me, at an age where you are mature enough to have a family life how you can naively believe we can become one of the biggest clubs in the world and why a man of your age doesn't have better things to do than sit around day dreaming of academy graduates playing champions league football in a 50,000 seater stadium. I'd have though the experience that Saints have never done it and only a handful of clubs all of which much bigger than us have would rein in your dilusion.

Of course i am sure Westender can point to a whole host of middle sized clubs, similar in size to Saints that can give us optimism that its possible for a club of Saints size to keep hold of their star young players and build a champions league side around them. I mean there are loads of them aren't there? just ask Sunderland, Middlesborough, Aston VIlla, West Ham, etc how easy it was.

Because unless i am much mistaken an English club of Saints size has NEVER qualified for the champions league with a team full of acdemy graduates.

 

There are a whole host of clubs of similar size to Saints who have consitantly failed to keep their star kids from the clutches of big clubs.

 

Because there is no evidence to suggest Saints have ever needed a ground bigger than 32,000.

 

Because at the moment we are in the Championship and just come out of league one.

 

Because whatever Wolves, Fulham, Chelsea, QPR, Barcelona, Paris St Germain, Sport Lisbon, Visla Krakov, Boca Juniors and River Plate do is not evidence Saints need or can fill a 44k stadium.

 

Because people are talking about being back in the premier league like it's a give. Guess what? It aint.

 

Because until we are back in the premier league and selling out week in week out and turning away thousands of fans week in week out having weekly discussions about filling a 44k stadium is utterly pointless. We aren't even filling a 32k stadium week in week at the moment FFS.

Talk about using extreme examples to illustrate a point.

 

Manchester City were in the third tier for two seasons as a result of appalling management. They were no more a third tier club than we were yet the way you write it suggests some kind of transformation from a tiny club to the Premiership challengers. Citeh have a massive and committed fanbase, even in the third tier.

 

And the suggestion that Manchester United were playing in the Champions League with their academy site is ludicrous. They brought through five players, which is exceptional (so exceptional in fact that no British club that I'm aware of has done it since at that level), to play alongside the likes of Cantona, Keane, Sheringham, Stam, Schmeichel, Yorke, Cole, Kanchelskis, etc.

 

And they were already an established site in the European competitions and one of, if not the, biggest side in the country.

 

 

Turkish, you seem more passionately opposed to this concept than any of it's advocates seem to be in support.

I just can't understand how anyone can be so inflamed in opposition to this. You haven't got money staked against it in Ladbrokes or something?

At a guess, I'd say it's a frustration that this delusion [of us being able to fill out a much larger ground on a regular enough basis to justify the expense] gets trotted out with alarming frequency on here with arguments like 'don't forget, Manchester United did it'...

[Charlie Wayman]

Not 45000? Good round number, 44000 is far too specific a number to have any meaning.

 

Oh well, as has always been observed many many times, it isn't size that matters it's the noise they make!

So you're not opposed to an expansion per se, but instead you are opposed to anyone who is 'deluded' enough to suggest that over the next few years an expansion might not be out of the question.

 

Do you feel embarrassed by fans who are suggesting that an expansion isn't completely outside the realms of possibility? If not, why don't you just let them get on with it - it simply shouldn't bother you. If however you are embarrassed, you seriously need to get out more. There are far greater embarrassments associated with this club.

 

In future, just a tip, if you want the '44k expansion' threads to disapear, simply stop feeding them with your irrational hatred. If you weren't fueling a debate the thread would die a natural death. The more you try to shout everyone down, the more people will argue back. If indeed your anger of this issue is genuine, your best way to put out the flames would be to ignore them. If this topic doesn't interest you, or mildly annoys you, simply stop posting on it.

 

Honestly, the more you try to keep topics like this alive the more people will assume you are simply trolling.
