8,000 season tickets in their situation really isn't all that impressive. New fan ownership, returning feel-good factor, cheap season tickets and so on.

Anyway I'm pleased to say they still have a shit ground and a shit team. Hopefully they'll be stuck down there for a couple of years and we'll see 6,000 rattling around in their 50 year old shed.

How much are they selling them for?

If selling cheap the revenue generated would equate to gates of around 4000 at normal prices.

They have signed 10 new players so perhaps it pays to go into admin.

Mainly non-league players, youth and trialists. Why do people have to make conclusions without any proper info.!?

We'd still do alright for fans, huge catchment area for us and many would still go,true fans who couldn't get to watch at Withdean. Don't worry yourself too much, it's bad for you.

That is actually a quite interesting argument as when we were at withdean we only sold out a few times. So were all the extra 20 thousand people who now come to the Amex not able to go to withdean.

They were able to go to the playoff final. But didn't feel the club warranted support at withdean?

Well, on numerous occasions when I wanted to go to Withdean I would 'phone up,albeit probably on a friday or saturday morning only to be told that no tickets were available. Given that it's 45 miles from where I live it really wasn't realistic to just travel down and try to get a couple of "no - shows " from the ticket collection office. On that basis I feel that our support would continue to be very good at the AMEX. Equally I conceed that a proportion of so called JCL's would lose interest and fade away, flipping glory hunters eh?

Two 21 year old players from Hull , John Sullivan (13 appearances in goal for The Albion) , a couple of League 1 players , a couple of League 2 players , a player from Monaco reserves and ONE non league player from Barnet plus FOUR youth players (one reserve who is 17 and 3 U18's)

Quite simply those 20,000 or so had left the club a long time prior to the Albion playing at Withdean. The crowds at the Goldstone were very average the last few seasons and then there was the exile at Gillingham slimming this number down even more. Pompey fans are simply carrying on from they left off, the situations are hardly comparable.

Luton have been mentioned a couple of times.

They have sold 5-6k season tickets again for the upcoming season. More impressive than Pompey's 8K I would say!

I agree. They will get back to the league eventually. Hopefully that dunstable luton bus way thing will be complete soon otherwise it is going to be a complete nightmare for supporters getting in and out of the ground.

Pompey are adding at 500 per week, it'll reach 10 or 11 leaving Luton way behind I'm afraid

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

They have a decent sized fanbase area, though their lost fans has been Albion's gain.

Should we ever fall on hard times again, we would probably reach over 10k STHs.

All of them free transfers...

The non league players and trialists were on show at Havant, so their transfers probably haven't appeared on whatever site you went to get your info from.

Who is saying different but they will still have to be paid and possibly get a signing on fee, especially the players released by league clubs.

I was replying to your reply to BG's post (post #43) , no doubt they will still need some more players but won't be paying out any transfer fees

I think it's pretty clear what you were implying...

 

[BensGrandad]

Simply saying that they shouldnt be in a position to SIGN 10 players an embargo against signing any players should have been placed on them.

 

[surlyseagull]

Perhaps they should keep half the gate receipts instead of giving it all to the hawks and hand it to the businesses and people they shafted who were trying to make an honest living .

Why would they do that ? Pompey are the Palace of the South Coast.

Living on the isle of wight used to see quite a few wearing Pompey shirts on a Saturday a few years ago but they are a dying breed now.
