Portsmouth fan role model... (1 Viewer)

standupforcity · May 22, 2012

It's very depressing to log on and get a constant flow of negative threads dedicated to 'slagging off', it doesn't matter who or how justified. I log on to see if there is anyone out there who's able to grasp the reality of what's going on and get get on with SUPPORTING our club whatever. Look at Portsmouth..with a fan base to admire. They will be entering next season believing they will bounce straight back regardless. We should wake up and accept our dilema, which will unfold sooner or later, and we'll all be able to breath properly again. PUSB

So do we accept our dilemma or believe we will bounce back? We can't do both.

tippex9 · May 22, 2012

I agree with OP but would never use Portsmouth fans as role models lol

Especially that tedious bloke with the bell who rang it all night long at the richo a few seasons back in the cup in the freezing despearte cold and they knocked us out.

And Coleman did something stupid like putting a defender up front or something

Freezing it was.

Not accepting our 'dilema' doesn't exactly help anything. It is what it is as they say.

I'd bang a dustbin lid if it helped!

It helps Pompey that they have a firm takeover bid on the table which offers considerably brighter prospects than ourselves trapped with SISU and nobody else.

Deluded fans annoy me, if pompey think they will find it easy then I class them as that.

Portsmouth will be top 6. What they are doing is believing in their team. Something Sky Blues fans have forgotten to do.

"A fan base to admire". Possibly one of the funniest things I've read on here in a long while.

No what they are doing is believing that new owners will finance them again just like before and the time before that, unlike our owners who have no interest in financing the team.
The difference is we all know that about sisu and have little hope left other than the hope that the club survives until we are rid of sisu

BurbageSkyBlues · May 22, 2012

The OP's sentiment is right - if we want to change the 'luck' that our club has, and want to turn things around for the better, we need to change our attitudes.

It may not be pallatable, but if an investor had a choice between Pompey and the Sky Blues, what do you think his decision would be - I suspect he would look at the potential, and the enthusiasm of the supporters. They have a reputation for getting behind the team, and the club, regardless of the mess they are in. We have a reputation for being disinterested!

A good example of this, is the negativity that Ashybyjan recently received, with the efforts to get the supporters club going.....

Pompey have consistantly been in the financial mire and consistantly broke the rules to hang on. They already have an advantage over us as they can sign players. They have actual real people ready to take the club on... oh and did I mention they continue to be allowed to spend beyond their means and get bailed out with a gentle slap on the wrist.

I'd be expecting to bounce back.

And that deluded arsehole Appleton is right at the heart of it.

He's an idiot. There's not many... if any people in football I can't stand more than him. He just opens he mouth and pure idiotic evil spews out.

Brighton Sky Blue · May 22, 2012

Thorn got plus points from me when he made a few thinly veiled digs at him before the Peterborough/Brizzle weekend; Appleton whinged when he still had the likes of Ben Haim on £35k/week. Over 30 people lost their jobs at Pompey so the likes of him could preserve such salaries, but Appleton complains that he can't strengthen the squad.

castlevaleskyblue · May 22, 2012

It is ridiculous pompey can sign people and we cant, they should of had a bigger penalty an we should have better owners

There was an interview with him in the local paper down here the other day. He said he was planning to sign 18 new players!!!

yer, well done pompy fans for supporting your team

its not as if you are about to be taken over, thus getting new income and helping wit your push back to the championship

nor its as if you were in the prem a couple of years ago

I wouldn't use Pompey as an example. The hardcore of Luton, Bradford or Plymouth maybe. Definately not Pompey.

Maybe AFC Wimbledon fans, the way things are going...I write for an Aussie Wimbledon fan's forum, and am getting close to asking them for all the advice they have on setting up a Phoenix Club!

Now theres a thought ,a two team City ,if you want a Cathedral we've got one to spare,before anyone takes umbridge ,tis a joke.:facepalm:

coundonskyblue · May 22, 2012

Just because some of their fans write on a forum doesn't mean that's reflected across their whole fan base though does it?

Where does everyone get this big fan base idea about Portsmouth. They slashed ticket prices and their Manager was raving about the great turn out. They got 12000. Thats not bigger than us even at full price.
