    I joined the Trust yesterday...

    ...not something I expected to do if I'm honest. I have come to the view though that all this bickering is achieving nothing, and the time is right for the fans to come together and try and form a strong and independent voice that acts in the interests of the club, the fans and the city. I...

    Walsall Away Easter Monday

    Incredibly ill-informed bunch polluting that thread. Complete lack of understanding of the situation here. They talk about 'cheating' and liken us to Swindon. The difference is, we do pay our tax bills, we do pay suppliers etc., the issue relates to the rent which is the subject of a dispute...

    your beloved acl ...

    Don't know about anyone else, but I've lost the will to keep arguing about all this. The two opposing camps seem so entrenched that there seems no prospect of anyone changing their position anytime soon. Put is this way, has anyone shifted their position based on what they have read on any of...

    McSheffrey

    This. Never had an issue with people venting their frustration at full time. We all get frustrated, but abuse targeted at one player mid-game is not big or clever. Felt genuinely sorry for Sheff today. He is playing badly, that much is clear, and he probably needs a game or two on the bench...

    Baker Feast & famine - all in the same game

    Didn't hear any abuse of Baker today. The odd groan at a misplaced pass doesn't constitute booing does it? Now Sheff was booed...

    Pressley

    Am I the only one who thought we played OK today? We created some decent openings and were never really threatened. It was scrappy and not pretty at times, but it was an OK performance for me.

    FFS, we won!

    Close to drawing? Did they have a clear cut chance all game? Nothing like the Swindon game. Only one team ever looked like winning today.

    Baker Feast & famine - all in the same game

    14 goals from midfield and many assists. A trier too. Not much more to be said for me. He made some errors today, but was always involved and always wants the ball. Bailey can prance about all game hardly involved making the odd sideways pass and he seems to escape criticism completely.

    McSheffrey

    Very ugly in block 15, thought it was going to kick off several times. Was very uncomfortable. I didn't slate Sheff once all game, but equally didn't join in with the song and for that I got abuse.

    Statement from fisher

    This is a very good point. Perhaps the issue of means is indeed irrelevant at this stage.

    Statement from fisher

    Oh absolutely, we're all guessing, but I don't think it does any harm to try and get an understanding of what the court hearing is really about and what the likely outcome might be.

    If Sisu back down and things carry on as the are....

    I think this is still a goer. Funding is secured and outline planning permission granted. My understanding is that building should start in the autumn and the station will be operational a year later (they also have to build a new station at Bermuda Park and upgrade the line and platforms at...

    Statement from fisher

    Perhaps, but I suspect it isn't. It was announced at a fans forum iirc, and was made as a general point rather than in relation to ACL and the rent deal. I'm not sure what they would have gained by making this up? They may be the masters of spin, but I'm inclined to believe this particular...

    Statement from fisher

    Quite possibly, it is hard to know what to believe. As Spencer has said though, if all SISU have to do is demonstrate that they are able to pay should they be ordered to do so, then it is difficult to see how the court can rule we are insolvent? And seeing as this court hearing is not deciding...

    Statement from fisher

    SISU have recently stated that a home average of 11K is our current break even point. If SISU can produce a set of management accounts showing a healthy enough balance sheet and no external creditors then it will ultimately come down to the issue of rent and how the judge views that. If SISU...

    Statement from fisher

    He is talking about legal proceedings. Why compromise their position ahead of a court hearing? Clearly SISU are formulating their response and I suspect nothing has been decided yet. Even if you hate them, surely you must understand that they may want to keep their cards close to their chest...

    A draw today will suit us nicely.

    I don't understand why people are so convinced we would come straight back down. Teams promoted from L1 have a good record in their first Championship season. It isn't as though the teams above us are all that much better than us either, we're only 11 points off the top despite our terrible...

    Statement from fisher

    Nothing particularly random in that statement. Pretty predictable and innocuous if you ask me. Nothing remotely contentious or controversial.

    A draw today will suit us nicely.

    Pitch gets worse every time I see it. Weather this winter has a lot to do with it obviously, but I wonder if the fact it wasn't replaced last summer because of the Olympics has had an effect? Not an excuse obviously, but it clearly can't help a team that likes to play football.

    A draw today will suit us nicely.

    I genuinely think today will be the day we roll over someone and win comfortably. I might regret saying that later, but I think it is long overdue. If we do that, it'll be interesting to see how it affects the mood re. administration, but I suspect it would take a win at Pompey for some people...
