Our Visit

[Libby]

Well Libby, you are being very brave about tomorrow night's game. It is always difficult to find a parking place around Fratton Park on a matchday. Good luck with that, and don't leave a Saints scarf or flag on show in your car

A Met Office weather warning states heavy rain from 4 am to 11 pm tomorrow, so a good idea to bring your swimsuit with you. Hopefully they will have finished construction of the roof over the Milton End, and plumbed in the toilets, by the time you arrive.

Pompey also have quite a few injury worries for the match, with potentially Marcus Harness / Tom Naylor / Lee Brown / Jack Whatmough / Bryn Morris out injured, and Ellis Harrison suspended. We may well have to bring in some of our Academy youngsters to fill the gaps.

Seriously though, I hope the match lives up to expectations, with no trouble from fans of either club, and may the best club win

Yeah on reflection I've decided against driving, there's less street parking around the general area than I remember and don't wanna be wandering off from the kettle on my own too far around 11pm

Whereabouts do you live in Devon, Possum ? We were staying in Totnes for a few nights, then a week in Dartmouth. Just love the South Hams !!

I live on the edge of Dartmoor by a small town Okehampton. Totnes I know mainly from my cricket and football playing days but Dartmouth I love and try most years to take my caravan down for the Dartmouth Regatta and the kids loved Woodlands

I know Okehampton - nice town. Dartmoor is lovely, went there as a kid with my parents, when living on the outskirts of London. We used to stay at a small hotel at Strete Gate, near to Slapton Sands. Great holidays.

My wife would like to move down that way to live now we are retired, but it would be a long journey to Fratton Park and back to see Pompey play, and I could never see me supporting Plymouth Argyle - Torquay perhaps !!

That is the only downside to moving to Devon/Cornwall boarder but as I still have lots of family in Southampton it makes travelling back good but only managed 3 Saints games last season but as I traveled the country for many years watching us through good and bad times I can live with that now and tv coverage and streaming makes it easier. Would never move back to a city.
Great show from your guys last night but reminded me when I went to our 1-4 defeat at St Mary’s to you guys, I felt the score line didn’t reflect the passion and effort put in but quality usually has the final say.
