    Will the win against Burton boost the gate at Fratton Park this week-end?
    How many do you think they will bring down?


    It's time for score and attendance guesses

    17,200 attendance, and 2-1 to Pompey - David Connolly & Jed Wallace with the goals.

    I asume you're answering the trivia question.

    No <laugh>


    Mansfield were one of TWO [the other was York] in the Conference Premier Playoffs, but the question was which former league club participated in the Conference NORTH playoffs.

    It will be interesting to see who Guy leaves out from the team to make way for DC's return.

    A little factoid:

    Fleetwood's last away game was a 2-0 defeat at AFC Wimbledon and is the only league game this season so far where they've failed to score.

    Pompey's last home game was a 2-0 defeat to Chesterfield and is the only league game this season so far where we've failed to score.

    They play the theme to Captain Pugwash when they score at home I think.

    For me that's enough of an excuse to say, the only time we're going to here it is right now.

    Sod it, let's have the whole of episode 1

    Be good to have Connolly back, but in fairness to the lads they have done ok with out him, Holmes particularly has done well for me, and i reckon he may keep his place by being put out wide in place of Jed..........

    3-0 to us, big crowd, possibly near capacity home crowd.........

    answer: AFC Telford?

    Holmes was stand out man of the match last week and should not be dropped. Stick with last weeks and use him as a sub. No one should fall straight back into a winning side. Especially when they were out for lack of discipline in the first place.
