Got cousins who have always lived in Accy and that girlfriend from University was from Darwen in Blackburn (one end of the footie ground is the Darwen end). Mother's family was from a small town called Clayton-le-Moors in the area - so seen quite a bit of that part of the world over the years.
I've never been to Burnley, Blackburn or Accrington. I've done Preston a few times, along with Rochdale, Fleetwood, even Bradford.
I've rarely seen much trouble following Pompey, in the past. If you went by train and there were a lot of rough looking older men, the looney fans we used to have, then the best thing to do was find a different route when you got there.
I remember working at Tesco in Southsea the day there was a cup game v Milwall. Was terrifying. I got to work at 8 and the businesses were boarding up the shop fronts and most businesses closed early.
I was at Rotherham mid to late 90’s when we smashed them in the FA Cup. I think there were two toilets in our end so everybody ended up just whipping it out and pissing where we stood. There was no bother, we mixed in the social clubs before and after the game
Your supporters give us bother home and away when we met in the playoffs, as well as that idiot who lashed out at our player from the stands. I know you aren’t a club for trouble usually, but that wasn’t the case last season...
