020. Ashley Brown - Taking On The Big Boys & Saving Portsmouth F.C

“Don’t let anybody ever tell you something is impossible, the bottom line is, if you have drive, enthusiasm, talent, a belief in what you are doing, and incurable optimism, there’s nothing that can’t be done.” This week’s podcast is the story of how one of the most historic sporting institutions in Britain came within minutes of being wound up, and the impassioned fightback to rescue the club from those that were responsible for its plight, by its greatest asset, the supporters. If this story was made into a fiction motion picture, it would be barely believable, luckily the whole saga has been brought to the screen in a documentary called “Our Club” available from the link below on Amazon Prime. One of the main players in the rescue of the club and subsequent takeover by the fans was Ashley Brown. Ashley talks to us in detail about the events of the time, the mindset needed to succeed and the role he and his comrades played in keeping Portsmouth Football Club alive. This is a living, breathing warning to all sports fans across the globe in what can happen if your team, or club falls into the wrong hands, and what can be achieved if we, the people, refuse to accept it.
