Whew! Made it to the 600 mark, thanks again to everyone who has signed the petition.Like to say thanks to fans from other clubs and supporters trusts that have also signed the petition and voiced their support on Twitter. Whatever happens its apparent that community trusts can make a difference to football, and united we can help all fans to have more of a say in the way their clubs are run.The the battle for the soul of Pompey is far from over as we wait another day for a decision from PKF administrators, and / or the FL. As a supporter its been exhausting keeping up with the twists and turns of the story. God knows what its like to be at the centre of the storm.It seems a little bit of black propaganda has been circulating around the media for the last couple of days.Its inevitable that the media will see Chanrai as the top drawer in terms of seeing what he will do next, and in some ways the PST will always be on the back foot in terms of being able to roll out the big guns...

Thanks to everyone that has signed this petition, its been a great start, and way more than i expected, I think some of the comments that people have written speak volumes - and say it far better than I could.I wanted to say that when I started this petition it was written very quickly. I had heard on Twitter some of the comments on the progress of the bids and had become very concerned.I tried to write the petition from a perspective of someone who has watched the downward spiral of Pompey over the past few years, and something Portpin said a few weeks back in a press statement about their bid struck a chord: 'Judge us by our actions'.It was a disturbing comment from Portpin, as it seemed to me a failure to acknowledge that any of their actions in the past had damaged the club. And unfortunately for them, Portpin's actions in the past are all we have to judge them on.So, to cut a long story short, I tried to outline the case against Portpin as I see it based on what has...

Thank you for taking the time to read and sign this epetition, outling just some of the concerns that many supporters of Portsmouth Football Club.I created this epetition today in the hope of reflecting some of the concerns that many supporters, businesses, and the community share about the future ownership of Portsmouth Football Club.The football league and PFC's administrators PKF are about to make a decision that will make or break the future of Portsmouth Football Club. But the implications of their decision will go much further for the future of all football clubs. Do we continue with the current unsustainable model in Football Club finance that is leading to the threat of debt, administration and liquidation for many football clubs, or do we look for new opportunties, new models and new ways of working under a new sustainable model that has the interests of clubs, commuinities and businesses at its heart, not just the lining of a few wealthy owners'...
