Deep, I'd agree with that statement if Pompey had anything like a half decent matchday corporate scheme in place but what they do have is laughingly bad compared even to Burton Albion and Northampton Town, so I'd say that presently large attendances are the be all and end all for the club. Until the ground improvements are completed and, hopefully, there's some focus on both corporate and non-matchday income, then the club needs every body it can get through the gates.
