I also seem to remember reading that Pompey pay his travel expenses and tickets cos he is a figurehead much like a club mascot, though dont know how true this is.
QUOTE]


I dont know about the tickets it is quite possible that Pompey give him a complimentary in the same way that some of our fans possibly get one from BHA's allocation of complimentaries. As regards travel,I dont know if he still does but he used to have his own minibus that he took to away matches and a chap from Midhurst drove it for him andf everybody on it contributed towards the fuel but he paid the tax and insurance etc.

I like him. Watched that documentery and he's fairly normal, talks about his work, has a bit of passion for his work, he's just a passionate bloke.

The BBC video the OP posted, he talks a lot of sense and understands a little about how and why the club are f***ed and who to blame. He's not a raving lunatic either, eccentric but not even that nuts.

Top bloke.

I think he represents the views of many ordinary Pompey Fans and I don't have a problem with him.

He's right about it being the fault of the people at the top. The players have delivered an FA Cup and kept them in the Prem, Redknapp as manager brought a lot of those players in, but the fans have a right to expect the board room to be doing it only if it is affordable. Unfortunately for them the board didn't have a clue.

To an extent that happened with the Albion in the 80s. In some ways were lucky Sky and the Premiership didn't happen 10-15 years earlier, because we could have easily done a Portsmouth the way we were set up.

I normally turn his interviews off when he gives it the "Portsmouth have the best fans in the Country" :yawn:.

Ask him if he remembers the Palace fan who put him up a few years ago when he got nicked at Selhurst and missed his last train home. That was me. I agree, he is a nice bloke, and f*** me can he drink!!

Fair play to the bloke. He's always going to be called a twat turing up to games in that gear, but if his mate and someone who's actually met him say he's ok, I think I'll believe them :thumbsup:

He is a twat.

He once picked on a girl friend of mine in a petersfield pub all night singing at the top of his voice how everyone had shagged her,one it was not true and two she had no one to defender her, basically he is a self obsessed twat.
