Pompey are struggling to sell tickets for their fixture with Saints.

Why do you think this is?

 

Cause they Sh*t

 

It makes you wonder whether the current economic conditions really are 'biting' in the way the media would have us all believe. Being a young single man with lots of disposable income, I am in a fairly comfortable position although for those with families to feed, the cost of buying match tickets maybe stretching the monthly budget just that little bit too far. Besides, the game is on TV.

 

I wouldn't relish the thought of going to see my team play at home and get trumped proper by the enemy..

COYR!!

(On a side note and blowing my cover, i'm Escorting the players to Falling down park for the game...I'll be the one on the big shiney motorbike...i did ask if i could wear my saints shirt over the top but the guv'nor said to stick with the hi-viz)

 

For this fixture I think Nigel should make our players go through their pre match warm up routines right in front of the most vociferous of their fans so that by the time they come out for kick off they would have been verbally abused, their parentage questioned, they would have been spat at and they will not then be intimidated by the hostile, aggresive, nasty, spiteful, hateful, jealous hordes of Pompey morons the like of which they will never have experienced before (except for Jos with the old firm clashes).

 

How the f**k are they struggling to sell out a 20,000 capacity stadium for the first league derby there in years!!!!!

 

They have 1700 tickets they can't shift for some reason.

 

Give them to Saints - we'd shift them in 5 minutes!

 

are 4 of those seats on the bench?

 

The game is over a month away, I am sure they will manage.

 

It would be a bit embarrassing if they didnt sell out for the biggest game at Fratton Park this season!

 

There will be a full house, don't you worry

 

4 were on the bench but thats 3 now as they have filled the Managers seat

 

would you mind shedding some light on how the police expect to get 60 coaches outside shatton P*rk away end??

 

and also do the OB think we will be a bunch of sitting ducks stuck in pompey??

 

I believe that they are cordoning off Specks Lane and Alverstone Road exclusively for the coaches and Saints fans. Under no circumstances will any Portsmouth fans be allowed to enter this area and Southampton fans will only be allowed to enter the area and leave the area on a coach. There will be various food outlets in this area exclusively for Saints fans aswell, so those that love a pre-match burger, fear not!

 

It cannot be because of our mindless hordes are coming to rape and pillage, because they are going bubble wrapped, there must be another reason, impecuniousness may be the answer.

 

Basically HantsPol are looking after the Saints fans coaches , my role is purely to escort the team coach in as i'm TVP (Hants/TVP have recently joined Traffic dept's) and the team are classed as 'VIP's therefore get the TVP SEG (Special Escort Group) which is my role.

I don't know too much than that at the mo as it's Hants' job....i just look after the team to/from falling down park.

 

This surprises me little.

 

This is what I heard too. I still think that we are going to be sitting ducks all the way down Eastern Rd and going past the Good Companion though!
