Simmo’s left foot Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Interesting to hear the pompey fans experience of poor owners and how hard it is to get out of the lower leagues. Hope we both can get established in the championship next season! Crewton and Kathcairns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it worth the scrapping around in the lower leagues? That's just reminded me of a nice little titbit connecting these two clubs... Pompey win FA Cup in '39... then retain it for the longest uninterrupted period (7 years), due to the war years, before handing it over in '46... to us! 🏆 jono, Nishfan, Kathcairns and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !!

Then he wound up at Portsmouth with Arry a few weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Moodhoover junior is off to Pompey uni in September so I'm sure I'll get to know the City a bit better. QI says that Portsea Island, which is the site of Portsmouth City is the most highly populated island off the coast of the GB mainland....

I'm in my early 60's and like most fans I grew up dreaming of seeing my team lift the FA Cup at Wembley. May 17th 2008 will be forever etched in my memory, and to see the joy on my sons face was priceless.

Like all city's pompey has its good and bad places. You'll love Southsea beach in the summer, historic dockyard etc. Visit old Portsmouth while you're down, it hasn't changed much in 500 years. Lots of pubs with harbour views and cobbled narrow walkways where Henry the 8th would have walked Nishfan, DiggerB, jono and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I'm another one with fond memories of Portsmouth and surroundings. I lived between there and Southampton for 10 years and often went out in the city. I used to like going up to the Churchillian at the top of Portsdown Hill and enjoy a pint whilst taking in the view. Always went to Fratton Park when we played there. I hope we can both get promoted. downsouth, SKRam and Nishfan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsouth Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Looking forward to Tuesday; should be a cracking atmosphere under the lights with you bringing down a full contingent. Two proper football cities going head-to-head. The season I really got in to it was the 86/7 season in the, then, Division 2. I'd rather the top two positions were reversed, but would gladly take the same overall outcome. SKRam, S6 boy, Derby4Me and 3 others 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripes, I can remember a guy in navy clobber with a bell back in 1967 at the Baseball Ground. That game finished 0-0, I think. I'd settle for the same on Tuesday.

SamUltraRam Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I've only made one visit to Fratton Park - debut and goal for Marco Gabbiadini in a 1-0 win for us 1991-92. It was when Lionel Pickering opened his wallet and I think Gabbiadini was the first signing. A month later we'd signed Paul Simpson, Tommy Johnson, Paul Kitson & Steve Sutton I think it was the Gabbiadini signing that Bobby Davison saw as a stab in the back from Arthur Cox after promising to sign him SKRam, Crewton and Ellafella 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We absolutely bossed that game despite only winning 1-0. I think it's still the only time I've seen us win there since my first visit in 1985 (although we have won when I didn't go). It's probably best I'm not going on Tuesday! DE56Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayram Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Looking forward to this one. I’ve got a lot of time for Pompey, a proper football club with great support. You’ve been by far the most consistent team in the league so deserve promotion. As for the game the result will depend on which version of our team turns up; if we play like we did at Bristol a few weeks back I fancy us to get a point at least. If it’s the one that didn’t turn up last week at Northampton you’ll batter us. Just hope we can get something that helps us consolidate second place. It’s going to be a cracking game. downsouth and Nishfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no idea what winning just one trophy would mean to most fans. jono, Bluebazooka and Nishfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maydrakin Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I remember going to John Harkes’ last game, which was at Pompey (I think!). Lasted about 30 mins on the pitch and was then subbed off and never played again. There’s another player I have little to no time for! therealhantsram and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
