No doubt we’ll get pelters for not giving Pompey more of an allocation if we can only sell a few dozen in the South Stand.
I know £30 is expensive for 3rd tier football, but i thought there would be a decent home crowd in there.
It’s madness.
Can’t think of many other business that makes it such hard work to make a purchase.
I read a story last week where some neutral lads tried to buy tickets for our game v Reading, they found it so difficult they ended up giving up and went to Blackburns game instead.
It’s bloody hard work for the “occasional supporter” to buy tickets these days.
Remember back in the day when 4 mates having a beer in town could just say “fancy going to the match today?”
Walk down to Burnden,pay on the day - job done.
Agreed, i thought at the time of the Pride Park defeat - that was a massive game to lose and would end up costing us big time.
It ain’t quite over though,we go again.
I’ll never forget Rioch in his first season as our manger saying “If we win our last 5 games, we’ll get promoted”
Chester (H)
Bournemouth (A)
Hull (A)
Port Vale (H)
Preston. (H)
We won all 5 and i’m so glad i went to them all.
Oh & we beat Liverpool at Anfield.
Great days.
Quite impressed with Derby last night, without the ball they pressed and hassled, when they had the ball they moved it quickly.
Derby seemed to want it more than Pompey.
Pains me to say it, but it would have been a travesty if they’d come away with anything less than a point.
Beating ‘Boro and West Ham at The Reebok to avoid relegation from the Prem were both good atmospheres the night match v Burnley when Coyle first became our manager was crackin’
Most atmospheres in the Premier league were decent to be fair.
The Forest game to avoid relegation.
Beating Sun’lun 6-0.
Our final home game to gain promotion from Lg one under Parkys reign.
There’s been loads.
Burnden at it’s best was fantastic, but there were many drab/dire atmospheres.
It’s as if IE had to promise Jerome a certain amount of game time before he’d sign, the cheeky cunts best days are well behind him ffs.
It has the feel of a charity match when Evatt brings him off the bench after 80 mins every game.
End of goal threat.
