General

I don't know if this is possible, but here goes

When customers buy match tickets or merchandise online from the club. Couldn't we have a Acorns donation option ?

The kind they have on a lot of Paypal / Ebay sites where you are asked if you'd like to add an optional donation to a cause before completing your transaction. You pick fee yourself or decline the offer.

I'm no tech wizard but just thought it'd be a worthwhile thought if nothing else

General now that you have been forced to stay in our country a little while longer than planned a couple of questions

When will the new kit be unveiled and are we getting a different sponser.

Following the coverage of our matches being shown in the USA from your understanding have we more supporters from over the pond?


I really wish we could make this sooner. I'd be a lot happier about buying one if I knew it was valid for at least a year(maybe two)

Generaal Krulak here:

1.  ....and I do mean here!!  Still using the tub to clean my skivvies but have purchased a new pair of trousers and two shirts!!

2.  Portsmouth Match:  Great 3 points.  I thought we were definitely the better team and had some great chances.  James played well in the goal and I was sitting next to the English manager and I am sure he was pleased with the keeper's play.  He also had to be impressed with James Milner who absolutely played his socks off!!  Great to see the "Fonz" get his 1st PL goal...well done...very quick reactions.

3.  I went to see the Fans after the game but all had boarded buses for home.  I did get to talk with a few in the car park but that was about it.  I was disapponted because I wanted to express my thanks for the GREAT support showed the team.  The Fans were huge and made a big difference.  The Pompey fans were in good voice and we really needed those 1400 fans who came and made the stadium rock.

General. I think that was a superb gesture.

Sympathise with your flight plight general, I should be sitting on a beach in the canaries now but now find myself spending time in brum shopping with mrs east and counting the holiday money I've been refunded.

Ahem, not all of us are that big General.

Do you have a lucky charm (or similar) for when you watch our games?

General

Realising today was the last day to pay for season ticket renewals in four instalments, I opted to get down to the ticket office for opening time to beat any queues (and before I'd woken up sufficiently to remember the poor home record of the last two years and change my mind **).

I was surprised that there was only one person on the desk, a decent sized queue, but more surprised that rather than just take the applications (as per postal ones) and do the ID check, the person at the desk was actually processing them all one by one.

This seemed to be taking about ten minutes per application, and a decent size queue was forming.

I know it is probably too late to do anything for today, but i know there's a seperate deadline for the payment in 3 instalments people, so it might be something you could get them to look at?

** sorry, couldn't resist *wink*

Geneeral Krulak here:

1.  Des Little:  The post of the month!!  You have no idea how right you are.  I came over with one small bag...for a 24 hour visit...I am hurting!  So far I have had to buy two shirts, a pair of trousers, and a tie.  More to come.

2. Mals Shakey Leg:  I have sent your thoughts up for a look-see.

3.  pauliewalnuts:  I am very surprised by this.  Normally we have plenty of people working the queue.  Most of the folks who are looking to get ST's actually want to get it all completed at one time.  I called Nicky and she will make sure things are sorted.

Just to clarify, it wasn't so much the one person working the desk, it was the fact he was actually processing the applications (typing details into computer, entering payment details etc etc) when just checking the ID details and leaving the actual applications to be processed later (as happens with postal apps, I imagine) would have got through the queue really quickly.
