Boot the Sun out of Portsmouth!

agree tony, whilst - without doubt in the liverpool case - i can understand the immense feeling on the issue attacking people for reading is too much surely...
if people want to read the sun in pompey that is fine, fair enough, but those that love the club and the city are only helping them to aid hurting us by doing so - this might make no difference, but maybe it will?
we say why should those in pompey - and pompey fans wherever i guess - keep giving money to a paper that shows us now respect...

I don't get the "Bun" bit. Am I missing something?

I'm in. Not that I read it either, but their coverage of 'PompeyGate' is just plain rediculous and really went beyond the line and has damaged our club. You get my full support guys!

I have to admit though that I bought it last Thursday so that I could get the fixture list pull out and the racing guide for my day at Ascot. I feel ashamed now! :(

I'll back that all the way. And although I don't live in Pompey the "THING" ought to be off the streets anyway, it damages your mental health. Never buy it anyway,I've got my reputation to think of. And don't ask what reputation...it's a work in progress.

Gets my full backing and good to see two Pompey fans sites join forces in a bid to get to the widest audience possible - Well done Rug and Chris - It's front page article on Pompeyrama too don't forget !

Thankfully, it's not a problem we have to worry about out here. But the Toronto Sun sucks as well.... (except the Sunshine Girl on the second last page...and maybe the Sport section...and the crossword...but other than that, it's complete rubbish).

as far as i can see most folk on this site read and write-even me and Penton who are from the sticks-so we would'nt buy that rag anyway..

You get more sense out of the Beano than that so called newspaper.

Got to work yesterday with my copy of the Star, Mate John was sat down with the Express, and he hadn't heard of our campaign yet!

Join my Facebook campaign by following the link below. I was livid after last week articles by Shaun Custis and vowed to start this campaign, I have through word of mouth only around 450 members in just a few days. I also wrote The Bun an email, everybody needs to bombard them with emails just to ***** them off. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=92868033099&ref=mf#/group.php?gid=92868033099&ref=mf Sorry if its long winded for this post but here is a copy of my email. Sports Desk Can you please explain what Portsmouth Football Club has done to you and your newspaper, I refer to your recent articles in The Sun from Saturday 13th June, Monday 15th June and Tuesday 16th June 2009 named as 'Pompeygate'. On Tuesday 16th June 2009 you explained in great detail about the contact from the Premier League Chairman, Thaksin Shinawatra and Dr Sulamian Al Fahim ( UN Ambassador ) oh and not forgetting the Pompey Chief Executive Peter Storrie. What your in depth ground breaking story failed to mention was what is actually wrong with Mr Shinawatra and his associates advising Dr Al Fahim about and how to purchase a Premier League Club, are you not forgetting that Mr Shinawatra actually owned a Premier League Club which was ratified by the Premier League. I believe that newspapers like yours DO NOT want Portsmouth Football Club in the Premier League because we are not fashionable enough. We are not located in the glitzy capital of England like The Sun loving 'Spurs' nor are we a cheeky scouse club like 'Liverpool', a fun happy go lucky eastender like ' The Hammers', or maybe its because the best fans in the country ' Newcastle' have been relegated and you feel aggrieved that a club like ours are still in the Premier League. We are club from a working class city and play in a dilapidated football stadium ( if you can call it a stadium ), we share training facilities with a University from another near by city BUT we are Portsmouth and we love our club. We have arose from the depths of the English leagues to be where we are today thanks to recent regimes at Fratton Park and just when it looked like we were going to be a rich club with the money to build a new stadium, new training facilities and a club for the future, your newspaper is doing its hardest to convince the English public and the Premier League that we DO NOT deserve an owner like Dr Al Fahim. I would not blame Dr Al Fahim if he was to pull out of the deal after the English gutter press have treated him with total disrespect in recent days. Portsmouth Football Club are in deep trouble without Dr Al Fahim's financial input so where is the problem, his associates has met with the Premier League to prove sole ownership ( article in the Portsmouth Evening News dated 13th June 2009, http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/newshome/Pompey-Al-Fahim-will-be.5363677.jp ), but I do not see that written anywhere in your daily newspaper, NO all I see are slanderous comments from Neil Cusits, is this man supposed to be a sports journalist ?, as he seems not to be talking about anything to do with football, just clearly trying to unearth some sort of story which clearly is not there. SO I SAY TO YOU AND YOUR NEWS TEAM, LEAVE PORTSMOUTH FOOTBALL CLUB ALONE TO GO ABOUT THERE BUSINESS, AND YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR DAILY BUSINESS OF SPORTS REPORTING. Please do not email back with all your poxy excuses like you are only looking out for Portsmouth by uncovering if Mr Al Fahim or whoever are fit for ownership, because I do not want to hear such rubbish. I know its not going to change your financial position as a business but you can count me out of ever buying The Sun newspaper again, A facebook campaign to stop all Pompey fans buying your newspaper is being setup. I am not speaking just on my behalf but there is a lot of ill feeling towards Mr Custis and your newspaper in recent days. I hope Portsmouth Football Club ban Mr Cusits from Premier League games next season, and if it was up to myself your newspaper altogether would be banned. There is no place in football for such journalism like this. I look forward to your professional response upon this matter ASAP

The "Bun" should be booted out of football, guys. They are the worst shower of unprofessional mendacious pettifogging un-disciplined petty boring embarassing juvenile sickly smelly lying cheating --- ummm, what were we taking about, just now?

the problem with facebook groups is there are so many, you need one definative facebook group, they all need to br brought together and all campaigns united - a fully united campaign would have a much better impact than splinter cell campaigns...


as for reading the sun, ive never said that i have not read it, do not read it have not bought it, ive read stories that i wanted to regarding pompey online for years and have read it when its be given to me by others that have bought it - but i have not bought a copy myself for good knows how long and would not buy a copy again, nor have i viewed it online, and chances are i will not again.

I sometimes can't believe the rubbish The Sun print. The other day it was something along the lines of "James fears for his England place", even though we are the team that more or less resurrected him, gave him the chance to find his form again & get back into the England set-up as #1. Idiots. Get the **** out. He would have been on the bench at Spurs, now THAT would have ruined his chances.
