Rampant Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 2 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: If Roberts ain't fit I suspect you're right in terms of what it will be, but I'd have Stearman into defence, Fozzy at LWB and Sibs in midfield instead of Hourihane. All about opinions of course but I'd not be starting Sibley based on his last two performaces. Wolfie20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I don't know of any close to the ground. Plenty of the normal food chains outside the stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like us they have been through tough times (admin a couple of times) spending a lot of time in the bottom two divisions over the years but still getting decent crowds. I would put their potential fan base on par with Southampton and like the saints and us, creating extra capacity, be it a new ground or improving facilities at Fratton Park would I'm sure attract more fans, though of course what they do on the pitch will have a bearing on attendances. Proper traditional club with lots of history, looking forward to visiting Fratton Park tomorrow. That makes sense, sounds like it's the away support letting you down. We're only bringing about 1,200 tomorrow. We would have sold out anything you'd have given us if it had been a Saturday 3 pm kick off. You can blame Skytv for that one!

It says that it opens at 5pm. I think I'd be heading there for a prematch drink if I was going to the game. It's got dinosaurs! https://www.staggeringlygood.com/taproom/ Very good brewery, I'm reliably informed. Haven't actually had anything of theirs myself though, you don't seem to seem them 'up here' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few burger vans around yeah. There's a couple on Goldsmith Avenue, one at the end of the road on the corner close to the fratton end. The closest burger van for you though will be right near the away end near your entrance. About 100 yards away. From your entrance point at the away turnstiles, you don't walk east behind the away stand to it, instead you take a left to the west away from the stadium and you'll see it. Lots of good food there.

We’ll have a better idea of how good we are when our new manager has use of our injured players (Knight, Barkhuizen, Chester especially). There’s a good chance we’ll be looking good when they return if others stay fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure. Myself and family members always park in one of the following streets less than 15 min walk to the ground: PO4 0AS - Heidelberg Road PO4 0HU - Bath Road PO4 0JE -Jubilee Road Me and family members have been parking here for night and day games for years without any issues. No permits required, we travel from about 8 miles outside the city anyway. These are long streets and safe to park. You'll find a space. Lots of fans park on these streets but it does get very busy close to kick off so I would advise getting there as early as possible. I've never been unable to get a space for an afternoon or night game and I always arrive about 1 hr before kick off. Please note these are one way streets so don't make the mistake of going the wrong way like some people do. There's lot of other side streets too, I've never parked there but I'm sure they'd be absolutely fine. There is a big tesco outside the stadium but not sure of their parking rules. Those 3 streets above have never failed me and provide a quick getaway after the game. Hope that helps.

When you add those to the squad, you look extremely strong. You'll certainly be top 6. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
