I estimate that the goodwill will have evaporated by Sunday 12 September 2021.

I've just remembered something that my old mate, Reg, would have remembered: St Clem is the patron saint of blacksmiths. St Clem was the name on the lips of Wiltshire agricultural rioters in the Captain Swing riots of 1830. I shall have a drink tonight, courtesy of the Radical Stroud Reg Smeeton Memorial Cup, and toast St Clem. This is, as Reg would say, a very good rune.

Was initially concerned about whether Rob has the experience for the role despite his track record in finance, but the more I think about it, the more excited I am about the combination of a fan-run club ą la Exeter etc with the huge boost to community engagement that brings, but with the financial backing of an apparently genuine benefactor.
I have Pompey friends who were sad when their Trust had to sell to Eisner in order to compete longer-term. They can only dream of being allowed this far back into the running of their club.

Miss Reg. Wish he'd been around to see this. And comment! |

I love having Reg here in spirit. However he'd surely also find negative aspects in the situation, for instance in the empowerment of the workers only being enabled through the munificence of a capitalist financier. This may be Cadbury-style benefaction, but it isn't seizing the means of production. |

Can't imagine Reg would have been a fan of Ben Garner's appointment. He seemed to prefer a more pragmatic type.

Talking of old posters, I reckon there may be an appearance by an old favourite pretty soon!

Apologies to all for going off on one ( or 2 or 3), a couple of weeks away and with things now settled I hope I can behave myself.
Anyway, I still see our resident dullard hasnt managed to post one single positive comment on the events of the past couple of days. How he must hate it!
