Boycie - you owe me a quid. The numbers were...

10 23 25 34 41 47

Granted, you were right on one of them, but the other five as you can see, wrong. I am not happy as packed my job in, left the mrs, gave my house away, put a deposit down for a new Porsche and promised the kids they will get a new Derby scarf for xmas.

What you got to say about it,,, 'PAL'!???.... a furious Redcar.

Just got back - glad we won.

I know we all hark on about the Baseball Ground, and how fab it was, but I'd like to think, that if we'd have stayed there, we would have at least updated the bogs. Three toilets for the ladies, for which you had to get to through strips of thick plastic - wtf, was expecting holes in the ground and sponges to wipe our ar5es (I watch Horrible Histories). Although, the fact that they didn't sell alcohol to us helped me, because I could wait till well after half time to go down to the loo. Forest Greens toilets were miles better. There is no need for such shitty facilities these days.

Cannot believe this was a Premiership ground not two years ago. Good that we stood and the Stewards didn't bother us one bit. Funny, my girls (13 and 16) moaned the rest of the night that their feet and legs hurt, from standing, I said, how do you think me and your dad feel, thirty years older than you. Blimey, we're bringing up a generation of wusses - bloody health and safety.

The game, was ok (from what I could see, I had to swap with my daughter, who was infront of probably the tallest Derby Fan in the stand). Didn't see the penalty live, and was watching it with one eye covered on the tv last night and canna really remember it, so can't comment. He is a bit of a [size=2]diver [size=4]isn't he, our Jamie. I can see why the other fans boo him, but hey ho, he's ours. Nice to see Bucko getting another. It was weird when we scored, just couldn't seem to muster up much enthusiasm, dont' get me wrong, I didn't want us to lose, but it was a 'nothing' game for us. [/size][/size]

[size=2][size=4]Good pub just across the road, although my beer was as flat as a witches..and we walked past it last night and there were about 4 people in it, it would be a shame if there was no more Portsmouth FC, the area isn't all that as it is. Good fans though.[/size][/size]

[size=2][size=4]Been up the Spinnaker tower today, £8 each, to ride in a lift. Great views and a glass floor to stand on. Some folk were abseiling down it - bit windy for that, so we didn't bother.

Glad you all enjoyed it. Takes more than losing a tooth to slow you down! 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

I'm not too nostalgic about the BBG lavatorial convenience but I'm glad I'm a bloke 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

Was gutted about the alcohol ban as Boycie will confirm I always get the beers in........where was yer....we were right behind the goal in p block originally in row H but moved back a few due to the rain 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Hardly any thought we were, reading that thread but hey.

Block M right at the back - nice Steward, stood talking to him for a while, he says there's a buyer waiting in the wings.

They had been told not to accept not being paid but they had been unpaid for two months, which has gone to the ombudsman or whatever.

Had to laff when MrRam went to get a programme, he said to the bloke, sad day for you today then, to which he replied 'I don't care, I'm an Everton fan'

Steve, I had a swollen and bruised face and couldn't shout too much but I'm glad we went, had a good time.

We weren't all that to be fair. Don't think the sound travelled too well in that stand though to be honest - people who were right down the front behind the goal seemed to think it was quality, whilst I was right at the back and to the side and thought it was quite disappointing from our point of view.

Their support was decent and the lads I spoke to on the train after were pretty sound.

And who gives a f*ck about the facilities really? It's a football ground, not the bloody theatre. Old school, and I loved it.

Well I give a f*ck about facilities tbf - it was alright in the 70's - 80's (were you there then Joe?) but things have improved. Old school my arris, you've just said the sound didn't travel too well in our stand.

I'm all for old grounds, but they still need to be improved over the years, do you live in a fekin 70's house with an outside toilet, a black and white telly and a coal fire? No, I bet you don't. There's Old School, and there's a ***** hole. Sorry.

We paid £76 to get in - had it been £1.80 each, I wouldn't complain.

Couldn't agree more MrsRam about the loos! I didn't think my 70 yr old legs would hold me up for the whole

game - but they did!

I was 3rd row from the back in M block, so we may well have seen each other!

Managing to get to PP next week as well, taking my son and 3 granddaughters - I just love being there with them, knowing the family connection carries on in the 4th generation.

First point - no I wasn't. I wasn't born until '92.

Second - no I don't, I live in a rather average 3 bed detached house with a small garden and a delightful view of some trees.

Third - everyone knows Fratton Park is a dive, so don't think you can really complain when it doesn't meet your exacting standards of hygiene, catering standards, viewing experience and acoustics.
