Now here's a tough one.
Anyone who reads any Pompey related threads on here will know that I have been railing against their wilful mismanagement for the last four years since it became apparent that their "achievements" had been and continued to be based on monumental fraud.
As a result I am extraordinarily wary of the possible link-up being promoted by the current administrator between Balram Chanrai and the Supporters Trust. However, with careful management there is just half a chance that the Supporters Trust, if they were able to take over the running of the club, could restore some pride and a right to respect that is currently absent.
There is a long way to go before next Tuesday and there is still a chance that Portsmouth wont be able to put outa side in the COC against Plymouth. It is also still odds-on that Chanrai will be sole owner by then and will continue to bleed the club dry.
However, Plymouth are recognising the support they have had in their troubles by declaring their COC match on Tuesday as a Fans United game.
We are on SKY tv on that night at Swindon so do we join in the spirit of Fans United and try to arrange a chant between ourselves and Swindon fans to show support NOT for Portsmouth Football Club but for the Supporters Trust who represent fans like us? Despite my misgivings and my dislike of Pompey I can't help but feel we owe fans of any club that supported us at least that much.
I'm not the person to organise it although if someone does I will happily join in and if someone has an idea for a chant which both sets of fans could join in at the start of each half (bound to be picked up on the tv coverage) I would happily contact Swindon fans and ask them to join in.
Anyone out there with a good line in chants (piss taking ones apart) and able to take a vocal lead in getting it started on the open terrace?
