    Cash / Cashless System

    I was a fan of the cashless system when they had both options, it never made sense to be all cashless. What I don't get is why they don't have pints, teas etc ready and waiting like they do at festivals when they're expecting a big rush between bands. The system of having to order a round then...

    Feeling good.

    you also have to consider that on Saturday we had a clear pen not given and last night the ball looked about a foot over the line from where I was. if we'd have a couple of better officials we might be looking at 2 wins out of 2. it's such a narrow margin so you have to hope these things even...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Appleton has already said he wants a squad that can 'rip up League One', no talk of just taking a season or two to stabilise or get a takeover done. Not sure what they have on the league but I’m sure if we were in this position the treatment we’d get would be a lot different.

    Coventry away support

    Away games are usually a really good atmosphere, way better than the toxic atmosphere at the Ricoh where everyone just wants to moan. Not sure what happened on Saturday though. Up until they equalised everyone was singing away and having a great time but there was a large chunk of the support...

    Your expectations for tonight?

    We should be looking to win all our home games but having said that I'm not going to go into a meltdown if we get a draw. After the weekend i dread to think what it will like on here if we don't win. We really need to lose this attitude that we should be rolling over every other team in the...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Appleton's at it again. He got given a budget to build a squad of 20 players, blew it on 15 and is now moaning that the administrator won't give him more and asking local businesses to give him the money. Would that be the same businesses who lost money every time they went into admin? He's...

    So, league favourites tomorrow night

    we need to play for the win but i'd take a drawer. couple of draws followed by a win is a lot different to a couple of draws followed by a defeat tho.

    Same old City

    why were so many people up there? thought they'd got rid of that pay extra on the day business so surely people weren't rushing up to get tickets for tomorrow?

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    I seem to recall their being an article in the telegraph late last season and it was noticable that they mentioned players who had been offered new contracts and Sammy wasn't on there. Seems a bit odd that he's not been linked with anyone which can only lead you to assume his agent is asking too...

    Fitness

    well we didn't collapse in the final minutes like we kept doing last season and we didn't have players on their knees looking done in which happened on more than a few occasions last season. so far so good i'd say on the fitness front.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    they're the well off ones, the businesses from the first CVA who haven't had a penny yet are in line for 0.4p in the £1.

    Proven Goalscorer - Name One

    that's the problem isn't it, anyone who has actually banged in anywhere near 20 goals a season at around the level of League 1 will cost more than we can afford so you're always going to be taking a punt on someone and hoping a change of club will kickstart their scoring. The last time we...

    Arrogant or Confident

    I would like to think we can push for a promotion place. Very important to get a good start so we don't let heads drop and have everyone thinking 'here we go again'. What could be key this season is what happens in the January window. If we're doing well and pushing for promotion there's a good...

    Vs Yeovil Realistic Hopes?

    I'd be happy with a draw but hope we play for a win as it never goes well when we sit back. Interesting comment from Thorn in the fans forum about having to try and get through matches without losing last year with the squad he had and that this year they will be going out to win.

    Fans Forum

    just listened to it now, all sounds positive. lets's hope it's still that way after tomorrows game! be interesting to see what happens in January if we are in a position then to mount a promotion push. Will SISU open the wallet to strengthen or will they ship a couple out to pay the bills?

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    this is going to be a long one but can someone who's better with finance than me look at these figures and tell me if there's any chance of it adding up: £8m - The agreements to former players to cancel their contracts, the trust are now saying these are valid and they will only pay £2m on the...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    the points deduction was only ever due to be applied when they came out of admin (that's a technicallity) but since the league confirmed that at their meeting yesterday everyone seems to be taking it as a sign it will never be applied. the arguement from the administrator is that the previous...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    these aren't players they've picked up today they are players they've had training with them in pre-season. some of these players have ended up there as their old clubs couldn't match the wages pompey were offering (they're all due to sign permanently when the league allow it). just 48 hours...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Unbelivable, this is what the local papers Pompey reporter has this morning Can someone explain to me how they can sign 10 players when they're under an embargo, how they're going to pay them when they are effectivly bust and why the league are allowing this???
