Pompey are a JOKE. It's the ******* premiership, we can't have games called off for ice. Even Newcastle don't call games off for ******* ice. Joke of a club.

The rule is that the club has to have SUFFICIENT procedures in place to combat events like this and the air-blowers are SUFFICIENT but can't stop temperatures of -7.
Then who gives a ****. At the end of the day City need these points before the end of January to attract new players. Jokes.
You're sounding like Alex Ferguson - you shouldn't be in the position you are in then you wouldn't be complaining. It makes no difference the the club when a fixture is played because the players should be up for it 100% whenever it's played. They get paid enough to do so.
No complaints, it's off.
What has the players being up for it got to do with a game being called off? For your information we've been unlucky this season. Petrov out, Bojinov out, Johnson out etc.You're sounding like Alex Ferguson - you shouldn't be in the position you are in then you wouldn't be complaining.

They've been in the premiership for almost five years, they spend millions on players and paid a shed load of agents with brown envelopes when droopy was in charge. They should have under soil heating. Hope the FA do embark on the inquiry.
Well it appears you know nothing about economics and in particular, economics within football.
Research on what you're saying - it's not as easy as just installing it for the sake of installing it.
Umm... yes it is? Why splash the cash on Nugent and Kanu? Add the transfer fees and the wages then they've got under soil heating. Near enough six seasons in the Premiership without it, disgrace.
Should of brought under soil heating instead of Defoe, would of lasted longer.
300k to install, 150k p/a to keep it running and 3k per match.
Over 4 years, work it out.
I bet that's the first game that's been called off at Fratton Park for a number of years so the £1m installation of the under-soil heating would've been for this one game.
It's called logic and finance - it's not worth it for a couple of games per season. The more financially superior clubs (Manchester United, Arsenal etc) have under-soil heating because they can afford it and it will probably save them money (considering Arsenal make excess of £3m per match).
Portsmouth P-P Manchester City
100% on.. hmm I think Mr.Chairman just got owned.
EDIT: It's probably already been discussed and argued, so please don't shout at me.
