| Earlier news | The organisers of the Milan Mandaric statue project are appealing for funds. The Pompey Supporters Advisory Panel have commissioned sculptor Philip Jackson to make a nine-foot bronze statue of Mandaric to be placed outside the ground when it is redeveloped to a 32,000 capacity. The cost of the work on the stadium will be around £36m, and the supporters want to repay the American-based businessman with a permanent tribute. In October we had a letter from them asking us to contribute. We discussed it at our executive committee meeting on 20 October and decided that, not having seen the design, we would not as a society contribute, but that we would publicise the appeal in here to give our members an opportunity to respond individually if they so wished.
