Pompey Cut Ticket Prices
A very brief comment today on Pompey’s decision to cut ticket prices for eight home games this season. An intelligent decision by the club.
The games in question are Wigan, Burnley, Birmingham, Sunderland, Stoke, Hull, Blackburn and Wolves. Adult tickets have been cut to £20 in the Milton End, and £30 in the wings of the [...]
Transfer Window Finally Shuts for Portsmouth
The summer’s finally over (nothing to miss about it, is there?!), and things at Portsmouth are now at least clear (managerial issues aside) until January. It ended up being a frantic transfer window, with all the activity by necessity crammed into the last week. The general consensus is that given events off the pitch, the squad is now as strong [...]
Jamie O’Hara, Kevin Prince Boateng, and…Aruna Dindane
Just thought I’d contrast those three names with yesterday’s trio! I’m not saying they are world beaters or even top half Premier League regulars, but I’d say they give us a fighting chance, and that’s all Portsmouth fans have wanted for the past few weeks. Michael Brown and Tommy Smith now look better signings than [...]
Al Fahim Finally Becomes New Owner of Portsmouth
Well, you couldn’t make it up! Just as it seemed that Peter Storrie was about to blindside Portsmouth Football Club’s erstwhile prospective owner, Sulaiman Al Fahim, the tables were turned at the last minute! Typical of the club itself and indeed the events of this summer. The worry is that it appears the way the deal [...]
Portsmouth Squad Gradually Strengthening
Now, let’s be honest. It’s all relative. I mean we’re strengthening from where we were two weeks rather than a year ago! But at last Portsmouth Football Club seems to be moving in the right direction, albeit slowly.
Without going over old ground, the squad we boasted a year to two years ago wasn’t sustainable, as we now know. But, providing [...]
Internet Marketing Journey – Week Ending Friday 29th May 2009
This week has really ended today, Sunday 31st May, but for the sake of continuity I’ve called it Friday! I should have done this post on Friday but it wasn’t really possible. My wife was away and I was looking after the kids on my own. As every parent knows, this is a much harder job [...]
Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim – What Sold Portsmouth to You?
Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim’s proposed takeover of Portsmouth Football Club has had me wondering, as I have waded through the inevitable media speculation over the last couple of days, ’why Pompey?’.
The next few weeks will be crucial for the future direction of the club, as due diligence is carried out. This issue, especially regarding the Premier League’s [...]
Making Money Online – Thursday 28th May 2009
Not much time for anything else but the actual blogs at the moment as I am looking after the kids on my own for the next couple of days! But, today’s blog was a real pleasure as it looks like Pompey’s recent problems are over. Our prospective new owner, Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, has been talking for the [...]
Portsmouth to be Bought by Arab Billionaire
What a difference a day makes! Twenty four little hours could be twenty four big hours in the history of Portsmouth Football Club.
Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim has agreed a deal to buy the club from Sacha Gaydamak, and a period of due diligence now begins. Assuming that the commercial due diligence process has already taken place (how [...]
