Pompey hearing adjourned again

The High Court hearing on the terms on which Fratton Park should be sold has been adjourned again until 31 January.   Acquiring the ground from Balram Chainrai’s company on reasonable terms is key to the plans of Portsmouth Supporters’ Trust to take over the club.


The adjournment, however, is encouraging news as it follows talks between the involved parties last week.   It suggests that an out of court settlement might be possible.

Some fans, however, think that what is needed at the relegation threatened club is a big business or an investor with lots of money.    The difficulty is that such people are thin on the ground and there are options available with fewer problems than Portsmouth.
