POMPEY SUPPORTERS TRUST NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

 

The fans of Portsmouth Football Club have always been Pompey's 12th man. It's time for Pompey fans all over the world to stand together and show our support for the club as it faces yet another crisis.

But this time, the Club needs more than just loyal support from the stands. It needs to look at a different model of ownership, with meaningful supporter involvement and dialogue, allowing those who care about the club the most - the fans- to help safeguard the club's future and play a real role in running and developing the football club.

It's time to show the strength of our commitment to the football club we love. The names and faces on this site have signed up to support a new way forward for Pompey. Make your voice heard - and make it matter.

If you believe that fans should have a significant role in Portsmouth Football Club, and ensure the football club represents the best of our proud City, then please register and show your support.

Play up Pompey

  

 

Trevor Birch is a Partner at PKF Accountants & business advisers and joint administrator of Portsmouth Football Club

“My PKF colleagues and I have been brought in to try to rescue a business with significant financial problems. The club’s survival depends on us being able to find a buyer for the club before the money runs out. Time is not on our side.

“This is a special club with special supporters and I'm going to do everything I possibly can to save it.

“Portsmouth Football Club has a real fight on its hands right now.  But with your continued support, it’s a fight that this great and much-loved club can win.” 

 

Penny Mordaunt - Member of Parliament, Portsmouth North 

“ Why should fans have a governance role? Because they are the only people who are there for the sake of the club alone, with no other interest than its success. Without them there would be no club. Only good can come of it, that is why I support the Trust and this initiative.”

 

 

Ashley Brown - Chair, Pompey Supporters Trust

Portsmouth FC is broken! Over the years we have been forced to put up with a succession of owners who did not share our passion for all things Pompey.  We have sat through atrocious financial management, excessive greed, alleged tax evasion, probable international fraud & quite possibly money laundering. These are not the sort of stories we should expect to see associated with our club. United we have the power to force a change and have a say in Pompey's future, sign up on the 12th Man website and help our voice be heard.

 

 

Gerald Vernon Jackson - Leader, Portsmouth City Council

"Football and the Club are incredibly important in Portsmouth. Having stable, competent, businesslike owners for the club is important to allow success on the pitch. Having fans - the real owners of the club's ethos - as part owners would give that real stability. The sooner the better." 

 

Sam Matterface - Talksport Commentator

"Pompey hold a special place in my heart, the day out at Wembley to see them win the FA Cup will always be one of my favourite football memories. Pompey fans are some of most passionate supporters in the world and if they make their voice heard people will have to listen. I urge you to join up on the 12th Man website and help save the club that we all love"

 

 

Mick Williams – Executive Chairman of Williams & Co  

"I fully support this initiative to show that Portsmouth Football club is special and important to the City, its’ businesses and its’ fans around the world. I have supported Pompey all my life and I want my children and grandchildren to be able to support it in the future."

 

Dr John Beech – Senior Research Fellow Coventry University

“My research into insolvency in English football clubs has led me to follow the financial fortunes of over 200 clubs.  It grieves me that my club, Pompey, has arguably the worst history of mismanagement.  I am convinced from my research that a fan-owned club is the only way to a sustainable future.  NOW is always the right time to get behind Pompey Supporters Trust!"
