    Will get more fans than Pompey in that stand! I wonder if when complete they will go back to letting us watch reserves (now u-21's) there?

    If so then that stand looks deceptively small, you never would have guessed that it could hold over 20,000 people.

    You would never guess that Fratton held 20,000 either because it never does ;)

    If you round it to the nearest 20,000 it does.

    When was the last time it held 20,000+? I'm guessing you had the No1 team on the south coast round to play and you all wanted to see them so bad you actually attended.

    Hope Mauricio gets a better office...has a poky affair with his desk jammed against another one (as revealed in shots if him speaking to Luke about his call up). Most PAs have better offices.

    Probably in the Premiership. Despite your overly inflated opinion of yourself, I'm not sure the derby was even in our top 3 attendances since we were relegated from he Premier League.

    Sheffield was higher, Oxford was higher.... and I think maybe Brighton at home on our first championship season? Though I could be wrong. The derby is certainly not top.

    That would be more down to Safety restrictions as opposed to ticket demands as you're probably all too aware :)

    The safety constraints only came into effect this season, as far as I'm aware Fratton Park was at it's full capacity prior to this season.
