For the people above saying that it's a great idea, shouldn't we fill the current stadium first? Spending money in the hope that more space will somehow fill itself would be a very odd decision. I'd rather there was a struggle for tickets every match than overspending. You only have to look down the M27 to see the end result of overreaching in the pursuit of some future pie-in-the-sky hopes.

That's not quite true is it. Prior to Saints going into Administration they never defaulted on any payments to the Mortgage Company which was Norwich Union.
When Markus came in and bought the Stadium, Norwich Union accepted a one off payment proposal that Markus put forward via the Administrator. The agreed amount of money was paid back as full and final settlement. As such Saints did pay for the Stadium, which is now wholely owned by the club.

How do you feel about Chainrai coming back? It must be a bit like seeing someone you really love get back with a lousy boyfriend who drinks too much, neglects her, blatantly doesn't care for her and just goes around spending all her money.

Is he from Portsmuff? If he is there could have been several reasons ranging from being a paedo to seriously overspending his budget or stealing the PTA monies. More than likely a combination of all three. The fact they are going to let him do it all again suggests this to be definitely the case. FACT.

Staying up for the first couple of seasons would be a great achievement, I do hope they do because it's great for the city. Also too an earlier comment about the club of course Saints are still in dept 99% of football clubs are Mr liebherr didn't just hand over 30 million as a present his family will want that back, plus don't think Cortese is good for the club he is trying to get as much money out of the club as he can before he sells, fact!

Arthur - that's not what you said in your original post. Originally you said the stadium hadn't paid for, when in fact it was.

However, it was at a level lower than Norwich Union would have got if the loan had gone to term.

They agreed to settle at that figure and therefore the stadium has been paid for.

Trying to preach to us is a little hypocritical, don't you think?

Now go away and find a way to pay those charities whose money disappeared into the abyss, there's a good chap.

I like how you've come on here with some half-baked 'slur' which has been completely blown out of the water and this is all you've got left. You need to up your game, mate. Fact.

Money out of the club you say? But you also said put 30m in - which has been converted to equity so is no longer a debt. Fact. Developing Staplewood at a cost of 15m. Fact.

Which is it to be? Can't be both can it? And that's a fact.

Yeah Cortese is taking money out of the club he hasn't put 1 pound in he isn't Liebherr is he. If you know so much then you must be a friend or Cortese himself! Ask him about his own contract and all the little perks that go with it that he wrote himself. 15m to develop stablewood where have you got that figure from are they building it out of gold! If it has cost that much it will be mortgaged not just paid out of Liebherr families pocket. And like my previous comment Saints are still in dept the same as every other football club they just have secure dept keeping up with payments and they don't owe the tax man. Plus how do you think players are bought cash in a briefcase! they will owe money for Jay Rod over the next few months or years.

There down rat holes,
There down the pipes,
The poor little Skunts are covered in sh!te,
It's not their fault that they dont know,
The difference between sh!te and snow,
They think their ground is something grand,
Pity it was'nt built on quicksand,
It would not take long to swallow that sh!te,
Then the world would be rid of the parasite,
arthur dalyrimple is filled with hate,
He cant even get his facts straight,
Were on the up,
There on the down,
Its really not worth listening to the clown.

Saints fans need to get realistic, you did well last year and even though I'm not a fan I want them to do well. You got relegated from the premiership in 2005 with at least 12 internationals in the squad with the likes of, lundekvam, crouch, phillips, delap, niemi, le saux and the manager that everyone wanted as England manager! Staying up for the first couple of seasons would be a great achievement, I do hope they do because it's great for the city. Also too an earlier comment about the club of course Saints are still in dept 99% of football clubs are Mr liebherr didn't just hand over 30 million as a present his family will want that back, plus don't think Cortese is good for the club he is trying to get as much money out of the club as he can before he sells, fact!

Money out of the club you say? But you also said put 30m in - which has been converted to equity so is no longer a debt. Fact. Developing Staplewood at a cost of 15m. Fact.

Which is it to be? Can't be both can it? And that's a fact.

Yeah Cortese is taking money out of the club he hasn't put 1 pound in he isn't Liebherr is he. If you know so much then you must be a friend or Cortese himself! Ask him about his own contract and all the little perks that go with it that he wrote himself. 15m to develop stablewood where have you got that figure from are they building it out of gold! If it has cost that much it will be mortgaged not just paid out of Liebherr families pocket. And like my previous comment Saints are still in dept the same as every other football club they just have secure dept keeping up with payments and they don't owe the tax man. Plus how do you think players are bought cash in a briefcase! they will owe money for Jay Rod over the next few months or years.

Crikey, isn't there some bad feeling on here from our Portsmouth friends?

I've said this before; wouldn't your time be better spent offering your help to try to get your Supporter's Trust bid in? I'm sure they would (genuinely) appreciate any help they can get.

Spending your time on here while your club lurches towards bankruptcy seems an odd way of supporting them, that's all...

Just because I'm not talking up Saints I must be a Pompey fan! For your info I'm not, I actually want Saints to do well I'm sure they will fill a 40,000 seater stadium if they stay in the premiership for a couple of years, I just can't believe the blinkered view of the fans that they think the club is run perfectly and you will be in Europe soon.

Loving all the gas coming from the skunts on here!
Haven't got a clue, one and all..
Two league titles before pretty much anyone on this site was born, and a dodgy bought FA Cup a few years back? Handful of years in the topflight while we enjoyed 27 years there in a row? Down at their natural level while we are back where we belong in the premier?
And they talk about history? Such a funny bunch, that six fingered lot...

And the two league titles and the 1939 fa cup win happened because most of the clubs young footballers from around the country were doing national service, and were based at Portsmouth because of the build up of the navy,so the majority of the pompey side were playing by default. Pompey won those awards purely by the fact they had some of the best footballing talent based there at the time.
The truth of the matter is,had there not been a 2nd world war,pompey would have won nothing, other than a bought cup a few years ago against the mighty Cardiff.

There's a museum for sale in Portsmouth.

This is NOT a picture of St Marys..it is a picture of a proposed new stadium to be built on the land Saints own.

Plans have not yet be submitted, but bear in mind that when they do it will be EASTLEIGH planning office that deal with it, thus it won't show up in a search of the Southampton Council planning website..
