I stopped going 2 seasons ago. I gave up my pass. The main reason because we were relegated and the idiots put the price of season passes up after being relegated. That on top of 6 per cent increase the season before. Its not that I cant afford it. Its simply the way they treat people. The membership scheme was simply the last straw for me. That finished me off for good, or should I say until they sell up and go. Its really sad because I loved my days out travelling up and down the line from Pompey watching City. Been doing it for years too. I cannot stomach the way this wonder boy Herbert is doing things. I think we all knew something was in the pipeline but to sell the gold and then the silver and just leave the bronze was also a disgrace. What did they replace them with, loanees and freebies. This, after his statement of some weeks ago where he said there would be considerable investment in order to give the new coach a good chance of promotion. Question is where is this considerable investment or where the hell has all the money good. And still people are falling for all the lies. Rock on!
Suspect lots of people have already given it up. So we are talking about a 21,000 home gate a couple of years ago turning into a 14,000 home gate now, then some more give it up because they only watch the Premier League. 12,000 home fans sounds about right for Saturday. Same answer, different method!
Bet you could decipher that weird bit of nonsense my tablet threw up if you were offered even a slight financial incentive.
Hmmm. I'm interested... name your price. Anyway. I agree with you. There are lots of external factors that override local population when determining what a club's average gate might be. Population is irrelevant.
Doubt it very much. You're telling me if we sink to the bottom of the football league and the Allams go there will suddenly be 25,000 people in the stadium ???
Add me to this list. Away games were always better for atmosphere.but now they are much better. The Allams are like dementors sucking the life out of the club.
We never had as good times on the pitch previously. Yet crowds were as good in less successful times.
