    Seems there's a lot going on at the ground this Summer. New corporate suites, new home dressing room, the megastore is being given a face-lift and the introduction of the new ticketing systems also. Not to forget the new big screens, electronic advertising boards and supposedly a new set of benches.

    And now these...

    What do you think - I think they look smart and add to the ground, although I find it hard to explain why. There's just more going on I guess.

    To add, the last one is a bit cheeky and controversial of Saints and for Ward-Prowse considering his family are Pompey fans and his Dad used to have a season ticket.

    Kick in the teeth.

    Very nice to see.

    Imagine if NC next announces plans to increase capacity <whistle>

    Controversial how?

    It's Pompey.

    His Dad will be full of pride...do you honestly think, with his sons best interests at stake, he'd want him to be at Pompey now? A friend told me that two Island boys have been taken on at Portsmouth...I wiped away a crocodile tear and said, 'So young to have their lives blighted like that.';)

    I love the Ward-Prowse one! Surprised Lee isn't in red, maybe it's not all a big Asian conspiracy as some were claiming yesterday ;)

    It's a bit weird how some people seem to think that the whole of Asia is mesmerised by the colour red.

    And they have never won the World Cup.

    England wore red - won the world cup

    = Red is better than blue :cheesy:

    simple maths.

    But apparently only if combined with a certain level of white, otherwise the world will end and there will be mass suicides from the Itchen bridge.

    Anything to get a shot in on the new kit...

    Yeah, though it's very dubious, studies have shown that across pretty much all sports, teams in red do better than teams in any other colour, on the whole.

    James could have refused to have that picture taken, he obviously didn't mind it. Anyway, surely his family will be happy for him to be on one of the stand at a Premier League ground as well as playing for a Premier League team, rivalry aside?!

    I personally think it's a nice touch, adds a bit of character and that. Love that picture of JWP as well!

    The JWP one is good for many reasons - it's a middle finger to the (very few) morons who hate him for his Portsmouth background, it's a pretty cool message, and it shows how much the club value his future.
