Portsmouth vs Manchester City - 100% on

[:G.M.T:]

They lost one million with Defoe plus his wages. They had to pay back four million to Spurs. So no, that's **** business.

They sold Diarra for twenty million in December.
They won the FA Cup in May.
They've been in the Premier league for six seasons, collecting money from Sky.
They get money from fans for tickets and merchandise.
They also get money from Setanta, ITV etc.

At which point do you want to say they can't afford under soil heating?

Your points are valid and my wording was not the best by saying they can't afford it. I shouldn't have used that and Jack has said what I should have said lol.

There just stingey

On the Defoe transfer I wasn't aware that they had to pay spurs 4 mil back.

[Mexel]

Sure about that as we did not have it and we were in the prem for 4 seasons in a row and were not getting it till this summer. I dont think Fulham have it either?

Fun fact #1: Birmingham don't have under-soil heating, but are installing it at the end of this season.

Is this some sort of dig at Birmingham lol? We dont have under soil heating (look at quote above) i said that then you said its a fun fact. why lol?! We cant exactly install it now can we mid season :S?

We have under soil heating.

And we can hardly stay in the Blue Square Premier

Okay, is this true lol?!

Probably can but not all clubs have good people on there board they would rather put the money in the bank and get the intrest from it.

There just stingey

Just like our board, but they say they have 'changed' now.

[Bun]

Because this forum contains a grand total of... no Fulham or Blackburn fans. Maybe if you posted in the sports section regularly, and not to try and fuel an argument you would know that.


Let's put this into perspective. Grays Athletic have under soil heating, it's not that expensive to get it fitted and it's only 3k per match. :rolleyes:

hey you never know, antallica might have a sudden change of heart .

[Loser]

They should still have it installed, it doesn't matter if they're getting a new ground or not. And I doubt they'll be able to afford one now.

You it's not actually FA rules to have under soil heating.

Premier League clubs without undersoil heating are a joke

[bigdavecox90]

So much for our game being 100% on.

[Minstrels]

You it's not actually FA rules to have under soil heating.

And why would both clubs be getting fined?

Yeah I know.

Aye, classic case of a chairman who knows nothing.

[Loser]

And why would both clubs be getting fined?

Time will tell if they actually get fined. I heard on the radio that it's not an official rule in England to, have undersoil heating. I think it's just any means of protecting the pitch from frost and both clubs have an alternative to the undersoil heating, covers and hot air blowers (Cardiff fans).

In Portsmouth's defence, they were planning a new stadium when they last relaid their soil, so instally undersoil heating would seem like a waste of money.
No idea on Fulham's situation though.
