Think it will slow right down now, with a possible surge near the 'deadline' (on a tangent I notice the share 'issue' deadline has moved a couple of times now). Wonder if there will be a 'large' donation from a 3rd party closer to the deadline.No Shot Sherlock wrote:Inclined to agree. The initial surge was impressive, but it has definitely slowed to a trickle now. This begs two questions...
1) What happens to the cash if they don't raise the full amount needed?
2) How often are the fans to be expected to dip into their pockets to fund one project or another?
On the other point - has crossed my mind too - I think Ashley Brown (might've been someone else), said this was a 'one-off' - or words to that effect.
...but I wouldn't rule out it happening again ("be part of our club - and fund this: xxxxx") - but then can see that from both sides I suppose. If the share issue stops (which it'll have to, one day soon) - and the "El Presidente's" have put in all they're prepared to do (which is fine - they did get thru a quick £1m before they even bought the club?), and so further 'large donations'/input seem unlikely, then there are few means for financial injection. I suppose we are self-sustaining, but is it then down to how much 'patience' we have as fans - to see that end product - and have to admit, a training ground of our own/academy - definitely was something that needed sorting.
Know where you're coming from though...
I'm in Pompey tomorrow , so I may pop into the shop and try them on, just to be sure. Not that I can ever wear it of course; as soon as I washed it, AA's autograph would wash out. Well, maybe just for special occasions.
