just seen a photo of their new manager Appleton on the BBC. He should fit it well with the inbreds, he looks like the missing link
Pompey fans views on their slow ticket sales in their local rag..... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/p...ts_still_available_for_saints_clash_1_3230365 ...post 25 made me chuckle.
Haha - point #25 reads: "TaskForce, I wouldn't lay too much faith in the 12th man if we can't even fill up our ground. And I think we'll lose because, well, have you seen them play this year? As much as we might like to ignore it, Nigel Adkins has them playing incredible football - like an Aldi Barcelona." An Aldi Barcelona eh? You know, a lot of Aldi stuff really isn't bad at all.
Yep. You're spot on there Kingsland and maybe before that as well. I know there is a lot of talk already about how your lot can be got at..and you know what they say- where there's a will there's generally a way! I'm sure the place will be chocker but there's a lot of apathy/animosity -call it what you like after what's been going on down there over the last few years. Is this the biggest game at Fratton this season...maybe.
Does it really surprise anyone that the real Blue Few can't sell all there 17,000 tickets, after all the rubbish we have had to put up with in the last 7 years the best supported club in the world can't sell 17,000 tickets for the biggest game they will have for a few years or possibly even longer ? We had a lot of stick for empty seats on the final whistle in our last game but EMPTY SEATS BEFORE THE GAME STARTS Pompey fans should be ashamed and any Saints fan with a bit of sense knows this is not assured 1 point let alone 3 It seems to me that all that corrupt money not only brought them a trophy but also a few more fans OR is it because the real Tax paying fans are so ashamed they have thrown their bell in the bin. You Decide
I'm assuming there is going to be a lot of police cover down Eastern Rd before we arrive, probably from the air?! Anyone would be mad to use any of the bridges on the M27 near Fareham if that's what they are thinking. Really do hope it goes off peacefully at both games as it will prove that it is a very small minority, not ticket holders, that want trouble. Besides, i've got to be able to leave Bursledon and drive back to Pompey afterwards so hope the roads are clear
