Let's hope Shamir Goodwin can get a few for Torquay during his loan spell and put Pompey in the bottom 2.

How are they now funded? I tried to find some information on the Portsmouth Supporters Trust but the only real financial information is this...
Who owns the rest of it?
The clubs "President Investors" presumably.

Why do some fans berate anyone who says anything about pompous going out of business or going down as not real fans who dont care about football or its fans .I live on the borders of hampshire and if those fans heard the bile the pompous fans spout about our club and others they would realize .When Brighton were in trouble they stuck the knife in ( yes a few came down for fans united ) but the vast majority were jubilant we were on a downward spiral and fighting for our existence ,I was constantly being laughed at for supporting a sh*te club with sh*te fans and no money and how we deserved to go out of business .I also knew people who worked for that club who had their business`s ruined because they didnt get paid ,but made sure their prema dona players were still on huge wages and were even trying to bring in players when workers were not getting what was owed .I must admit I was deluded enough to try and help them a few years ago by putting some money in a bucket whilst wearing a badge with BHA on my jacket ,only to be told by some ignorant half wit of a pompey fan "blimey things must be bad if we are getting donations from the rent boys in Brighton " The boot is firmly on the other foot now and as hard as it sounds I am ,and would not be sorry if that club went out of business never to be heard of again .

It's a difficult one. All clubs have those sorts of fans that will lord it over others when the going is good and the going is bad for the other. I don't have much sympathy for Portsmouth (or their fans) as they recklessly overspent. They bought an FA Cup, they bought a European adventure and they bought an extended stay in the top flight. Their overspending played a part in denying relatively or absolute frugal clubs from moving up the football ladder. I would have walked away from the club the moment some random Arabians started fighting over the club and control of the car park or what-have-you. I do believe it was entirely different to the situation we found ourselves in.
I do feel that Portsmouth should have been wound up. But then saying that, should I believe that Hereford or Bury or Plymouth should be wound up?
Confused of BN1.

No, I think I would pick the play-offs but BOTH would be top drawer
Nice bounce:thumbup: I would love to see them go down, if only those 10 points were deducted this season.

They are doing an excellent job so far. Didn't they have a business plan along the lines of premier league football in 7 seasons? Looks like they could be getting it next season at this rate. Maybe a whip round for the clubs below them to let them buy a couple of players to help them out, or maybe Oscar could loan out a few dev squad players, just to help Portsmouth fall that little bit further. Imagine the reaction from the Bell End if the Soton board announced a few loans to some lower placed league 2 sides till the end of the season

I take it by "the Bell End", you are referring to that stand at one end of Fratton Park, rather than its infamous comedy hat-wearing occupant? If so, may I congratulate you on a quite excellent joke, and one that- with permission - should be reused on many occasions here and further afield

it can be both and of course it can be used, I don't think I am the first though, I am sure it was used on here before

I think I'll be using "The Bell End" on twitter. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned about portsmouths poor form and Pompey fan told me to "**** off mate"
O.k the mention of the poor form might have had ha ha ha ha ha ha ha at the end but why get so upset ;-)

Perhaps we should create a dedicated hashtag for this purpose? #BellEnd ?
