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! That's right. TBE pulled him off*, never to be seen again 😅 * It's not what you're thinking Comrade 86, Steve How Hard? and SKRam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles the ram Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Been to Fratton Park quite a few times in 70s.Grandmother lived in Petersfield but I went on train to Pompey. Still travel down on occasions and love the Spinnaker area as well as the old partof Portsmouth. Lived in Hampshire in 1990s and always took kids to Pompey pier and funfair. Great times. Is Leighs Park still bad? Anyway hope we both go up with Bolton. Proper football cities. Best wishes except for Tuesday! DiggerB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your recent form. May the best team win! I'd rather we win Carl Sagan, Dean (hick) Saunders, DE56Ram and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 We have a great away record so should not be worried about this match unnecessarily. When we played them at home I was not overly impressed, so with injury situation improving I fancy us hitting them hard on the breakaway.

IslandExile Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) The Historic Dockyard is one of the best museums I've ever been to... Well worth a visit. But living down 'sarf, I have to put up with Portsmouth supporting friends and their kids forever singing "play up Pompey" at me.

That game finished 0-0, I think. I'd settle for the same on Tuesday. I have that same memory. For me, that's reassuring because I think many of our memories are made up. In my mind I can see him walking down the side of the pitch towards the Normanton End. At that game or perhaps a game against Charlton I have a memory of the ball going in and out of the net without a goal being given against us. That seems unlikely so maybe that's one of my false memories. Nishfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I've still got a football annual with the autographs of Mike Trebilcock, John Milkins, Eoin Hand, Ray Hiron, George Smith and Albert McCann in an article about Pompey. I think I must have got them after a game at the BBG in 68/69 season. Nishfan, Ellafella and David Graham Brown 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessie1 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Our first game in “the 11-point season” was a 2-2 draw against Pompey.

I don't recall... but having just Googled the fixtures, it was followed by... 4-0 at Spurs... home loss to Brum... 6-0 at Anfield... I think it must have been around this time that doubt started to... oh... but wait... what's that you say?... Newcastle at home.?.. We're saved! Hoorah!
