The tomw19 goes to Pompey thread

The upper stand goes: NUE NF2 NF1 NUG

 

Don't give too much way, Tom. Some Pompey fans can read you know.

 

Only A B C books That's the limit.

 

Don't worry. I'm keeping the row and my seat number firmly to myself!

 

I used to work for Endsleigh Insurance back when we sponsored the Football League. A "perk" of running the biggest office in the County was 10 hospitality season tickets to the nearest Football League club. Needless to say, this was Pompey and I was genuinely expected to go to each match and entertain clients and partners! Over three years I managed to weasel my way out of every single game except two that I wanted to go to as I expected Pompey to get a good hiding even though the season ticket didn't actually cover the games. These were a League Cup tie against Man Utd (0-1) and an Anglo-Italian cup match against Fiorentina (2-3). So, I can report two things; they didn't get a hiding in either match and their hospitality suite is not quite as up market as the Tin Hut in Merryoak.

 

Indeed. I figured they would all be NUA, NUB, NUC, NUD, etc..... I was wrong.

In other news, there's only two other people in my row or either of the rows infront or behind me. Hmmmm.

 

That many!

 

Means my Vuvuzela might not annoy anyone (maybe)

 

Are you suggesting our Tom will be easy to spot? It's up to you to protect him, Pomps.

 

I must say, fair play Tom for following through with this

 

Yes respect very much due!

 

Well, depending on where abouts in NF1 he is, he could be a whole two blocks away.... but I'll try!

 

You'll just have to force your way through the crowd!

 

And Tom, don't get all brave and proud to be a Saints fan, while you're there. If a crowd of knuckle draggers quiz you as to your support, you're a Pompey fan, OK..? Even if it is for one night only. And remember to cheer at the right times too, eh..? Not when the opposition attack or score [There's a clue].

BTW, respect to you.

 

Just had a horrible thought...what if Tom gets lured away by the superb facilities and the team's silky skills.

 

Don't need plastic fans like that anyway.

 

Living up to your name, I see.

 

I don't think I'll be able to stretch that far. I'll say I'm an interested neutral observer. Which is not strictly true as I'll be supporting Hartlepool on the day. Actually, now I come to think of it, why the hell didn't I get a ticket in the Hartlepool end? I didn't specify that I had to be in with the Pompey fans!

 

We're relying on you, PL.

 

Well OK, but no silly chanting to give yourself away..!
