That means they finally caught up with the technology at Mangotsfield and Manor Farm. Harry Dolman invented the automatic turnstile in the 1930's (coin operated initially), so they haven't even caught up with that yet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can feel their pain They seem to have replaced the ‘stand’ that they took down with one almost identical from what I understand. If they are baffled we don’t have a hope of understanding!

Unan Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 This whole thread sums it all up. Compare where we thought we might be when the owners took over, and look at where we are now. Debating metal vs canvas roofs, some being happy with a bit of painted plywood, losing all our best players and signing cast-offs and risks, treading water at best in L1 with no real prospect of promotion, no news from the owners, no new stadium, no training ground, no plans for the future, a real risk of losing DC, season ticket sales down, prices up, attendances down, Not quite what some of us had hoped for in those early days. If the rest of you are happy with where we are now, then you must be easily pleased. My opinion, or whine, is that you are deluding yourselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) They were asking “Whur r all you gurt Ted’s then?” on Saturday and they were all singing the blues, but as always, the gift immediately gives back. The ‘******* snake’ who we are supposed to be ‘spitting all over with hatred’ notches, we win 3-0, they lose and their tent is round the wrong way. Yes we are still here Sags, you lost and you have got to swallow that bitter bitter snake pill again!!!! Fantastic! You lot always shoot your bolt far too early. When will you ever learn? Tinpot.

That is shameful if true. Pompey is always one of League Ones bigger draws and with the kids being on school holiday, they can't even hide behind the 'late night' excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
