#Pompey - The Story Of Portsmouth FC As Told On Twitter - August 2012

Introduction
If you've been following this blog you will recall that I thought it would be interesting to track the story of Portsmouth FC during 2012 on a day-to-day basis through those tweeting using the hashtag #Pompey.

When I started on January 1st 2012 it seemed like quite a good idea - but I wasn't sure if I would be able to see it through the month let alone the year!

Well, the story continues and it's time to move on to the tweets from August. Enjoy.

I've changed my approach to this since the start with such a rich vein of tweets on the #Pompey timeline. Originally I planned to pick a few tweets each day but I quickly changed that as the story unfolded.

@mattslaterbbc Like Michael Corleone, I thought I was out. Got pulled back in. Made some calls re #Pompey today. Few more twists in this one yet

@TonyHusbandBBC #pompey Appleton ctd: "..if our ideas are very similar or in the same mould of what we expect...then I'll be more than happy."
@TonyHusbandBBC #pompey Michael Appleton on Portpin return: "I think I'll be more than happy to sit down and see what their future plans are for the fc."
@TonyHusbandBBC #pompey Appleton wants to sit down with Portpin as soon as possible. Imagine budgets would be primary concern given what's happened.
@TonyHusbandBBC #pompey Appleton tells @solentsport he's happy to work with Chainrai if Portpin take over at Fratton Park.

@Chimes4PFC The player that Appleton was referring to when he said he will "tear up League One" is West Brom striker Chris Wood (apparently). #pompey

@Jsweetman92 So Chainrai is back again to buy #Pompey .... Would help if he could make his mind up #pfc #whatnext

@matt857 No shock Portpin are back in the running. But is that because the PST aren't all they make out or is Chainrai playing a game? #Pompey

@ianwadleyecho Well, that was impressive from #pompey. All credit to Michael Appleton. But, in truth, #afcb have been very disappointing.

@pn_neil_allen That's 15,300 tickets sold for tomorrow's #Pompey game. Seems the fans' 'lack of support' was entirely for you Mr Chainrai, not their club.

@Joshyb123 Really can't explain this strange buzz going about the #Pompey fans. What other fanbase would be as excited by tomorrow in our current situ?

@Matt_Smith78 Just checked online. 2,978 #Pompey seats left. Fratton End = 54 North Stand = 2,164 South Stand = 760. #PackThePark #BackAppy #PompeyGers

@Kyle_Whitworth Wow amazing ticket sales for tomorrow, considering we've been written off by everyone in football. Going to be a special day #pompey

@Chimes4PFC Celtic defender Josh Thompson will join #Pompey on a six-month loan deal on Monday, Sky Sports sources understand.

@iepeach Wow! I've been a bit overwhelmed today with pledges & also queries from all round the world. Suddenly everyone seems to want onboard #pompey

@ShippSport #Pompey have now clinched the one month loan of Chelsea's Conor Clifford. Everything's coming up milhouse. #goodnews

@twounfortunates A spirited piece at @WSC_Magazine arguing that another points deduction for #pompey is unfair http://www.wsc.co.uk/wsc-daily/1149-july-2012/8892-portsmouth-s-points-deduction-is-unfair

@PennyMordauntMP Done a press conference with #PST giving details of our bid for Pompey. Time is short but momentum building. #Pompey must and can continue

@pn_steve_wilson It may not yet happen for the Trust and #Pompey, but they have my total respect for the efforts they have made in putting the plan together.

@HeyGeno I'm afraid after that press conference I'm having to go for liquidation. We can't base new setup on another loan! #pompey.

@MrPoos Thinks the fans raising £3m is pretty impressive considering we are in a recession and this isn't the richest city by a long shot ! #pompey

@Lord_Palmerston PST bid for #Pompey clearly impressive & credible. Excellent work by all involved.

@pn_neil_allen Meeting over. Thanks to everybody for tuning in! #Pompey #pst

@DanBrett90 If #Pompey were to be liquidated, there would be no football in the city for a year.

@Pompey_Pages PST believe people will now come out of the woodwork and back them. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen McInnes 'Plenty of people will come out of the woodwork and back the Trust if they believe we are real'. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages Offer for FP acknowledged by Portpin but nothing else. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen Trust offer for Fratton Park made 2 months ago. An 'acknowledgment' received by Portpin by no further progress. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages If the trio do not leave, the club will be liquidated. #pompey

@Lord_Palmerston PST bid puts City Council on spot. Is there capacity to help #Pompey when so much wasted on daft schemes like Pyramids and Palmerston Rd?

@Pompey_Pages £3m pledges from the fans, £1.45m loan from the council, £11m from parachute payments. £1m in escrow account. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen Pledges from fans total £3m. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages McInnes joking with the press. #pompey

@Pompey_Pages They've had one meeting with Chainrai but with limited negotiations. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen McInnes calls for Chainrai to meet with Trust and work together for good of the club. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages McInnes says they've had limited access to playing staff and will meet anytime and anywhere. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen McInnes; 'Chainrai wants to take out investment, we want to put it in'. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages PST confirming why their bid is better than Chainrai's. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen McInnes says Appleton will stay as manager with a chief executive appointed and an executive board. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages PST and McInnes very supportive of Michael Appleton. Now discussing Chainrai. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen McInnes stresses 'right bid for football club and right bid for community and has to be run on business grounds'. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages Iain McInnes says he doesn't want to own the club solely but to allow a community bid. #pompey

@Pompey_Pages Iain McInnes just giving a background on himself - one of the men to invest a six figure sum. #pompey

@GrahamCarterGC Very impressed with the considered, practical and well researched #PST bid for #Pompey, based on details emerging via Twitter #thereishope

@DanBrett90 Iain McInnes: 'I'm a player in this but not the only player, the Trust needs special praise for its hard work'. #Pompey

@TheWearing It would be better for #Pompey to go bust and start again, they are going to slip down the league like Luton and becoming a nobody.

@Pompey_Pages Offering £2m in compensation to players owed money - significantly more than the local businesses will be paid. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen Trust have offered £2.75m to Portpin for Fratton Park. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages All football clubs owed money will be paid in full. All non-playing staff will be paid in full. #pompey

@Pompey_Pages Offering £2.7m for Fratton Park to Portpin. #pompey

@Supermum0239PFC I love #Pompey football club to death. BUT no way would I support Portsmouth City Council funding the PST (loan) to buy FP. #priorities

@pn_neil_allen All four high net worth individuals have deposited 6 figure sums into Trust bid, including McInnes. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages Six figure sums deposited by four separate people - one of them is here today. #pompey

@DanBrett90 Penny Mourdaunt MP also on the top table. #Pompey

@Pompey_Pages Associate directors have been asked to pledge sums of £10,000 and more, as well as the fan pledges. #pompey

@pn_neil_allen In order to buy Fratton Park medium-term loan needed. Preferred supplier would by Portsmouth City Council. #Pompey #pst

@Pompey_Pages The PST have been talking to an unnamed former CEO of a football club who has been in the game over 10 years. #pompey

@Pompey_Pages PST believe they have the best offer for the club in the short and long term. #pompey

@Pompey_Pages The PST board are currently being introduced. #pompey

@DanBrett90 McInnes is a local businessman and a lifelong #Pompey fan. Portsmouth City Council approached by PST for loan sum to purchase Fratton Park.

@pn_neil_allen Lifelong #Pompey fan Iain McInnes would become club chairman if Trust bid successful. #pst
