The club have probably told the stewards to lock the doors so that everyone doesn’t **** off before the end of the game.
Jesus christ, the utter state of it. As if The echo were doing one as well, but that was a submission based one - I voted for Juan Larios.
Presumably they want to keep the pitch clear for the lap of appreciation, so we can show our heroes how much we love and appreciate their efforts this year?
Indeed; I can't think of anyone deserving in that category, to be honest. Fernandes maybe at an absolute push, but they should just be scrapped after a season like this.
A year ago today. One of the all time great SMS matches. Regardless of what happened this season, that team deserve to be remembered fondly; they bought success and the good times, and the times we cherish and remember.
Yep in the 24 years at SMS that is head and shoulders above anything we have ever experienced. Simply goosebumps from watching that.
Definitely an "I was there" moment. What struck me most about that night was the scenes outside the ground long before kick-off and then the reception the team got when they came out of the tunnel. Even the Chapel was loud that night! It felt like we'd won the game before a ball was kicked.
And when Smallbone scored I thought the roof would literally blow off. Great moment for us and great moment for a local lad too.
Best night at St Mary's. I was there outside to welcome the team bus. Never seen anything like it. Couldn't see anything but red smoke at one point. Amazing support that night
The noticeable thing for me was hearing songs start from the family section about 20 minutes before KO. Still don't think it was the best SMS atmosphere though personally. Pompey league cup wins that for me.
