It might be a Sunday, but it's no day of rest here. For your delectation a bumper batch of questions fans ought to be getting the answers to...
Since Portpin's arrival on the Pompey scene, the longer they hang around, the more questions there are. Here's the latest batch Portpin fail to answer, despite being given every opportunity to do so.
After Portpin's decision to appoint Tavistock Communications as their PR company, we at least have someone to ask the questions of. I have so far collected in excess of 100 questions suggested by inquisitive Pompey fans. If there's a question you want us to ask, please send it hallrightnow@pompey-fans.com and we'll try to ask it. I have now sent four batches totalling 54 questions to Tavistock and I publish their 'reponses' below.
The answers so far remain none too illuminating of course. However, I will continue to ask the questions and publish the reponse at approximately ten at a time.
