Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Pompey Supporters Trust are finally set to take over the club after they cleared a crucial hurdle when they were granted permission to take control of Fratton Park, following an agreement in the High Court.
The club's administrators, BDO, agreed a settlement with Portpin, a holding company run by former club owner Balram Chainrai, Levi Kushnir and Deepak Chainrai, which controlled Fratton Park.
Portpin had placed a value of £10 million on the stadium, while the Trust had bid £3m. Without a compromise agreement the fans' attempts to take over the club would be impossible and can now go ahead. Trust chairman Ashley Brown said: "This is a historic day for Portsmouth Football Club and for Pompey fans everywhere. At last, we can start to rebuild our club."
