After reading his Wikipedia page (unbelievable I know) this weirdo has been banned from several away grounds and even Fratton Park for spells. How the fuck does he get away with bringing a bugle and an old school bell into grounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 There’s no harm in him ffs. Met him in the Newcome Arms in Portsmouth years ago, the only offensive thing about him is his odour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 It’s big this today. Season defining and I’m nervous there’s been many examples over the past couple of years where the players have failed to turn up ‘when it matters’ but generally, they have been games that mattered to us, the fans. today, this matters to everyone at every level. From the very top, to us, even the programme sellers outside. of course there’s still another way of going up, but this will demonstrate to all what this team is about when it really matters. When things are riding on it. When it’s needed. i pray to god they’ve got it in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 13 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13 The more I think about it, I'm actually going to be worried about Shrewsbury if we happen to win today. Derby fans doing that silly bounce thing when they beat us thinking it was job done. I really hope we don't fall into the same trap if we win today - especially if results elsewhere do go for us. 4 massive games ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive result today and then tues becomes just as big if not bigger then so does next sat.

paulhanley Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Today has the potential to be one of those memorable "stepping stone" days to a successful season. Like beating Bournemouth and Hull away late in 92/3, Ipswich at home in 01/2 (Bobic) and West Ham at home 1-0 with Jay Jay's screamer. I also remember a 1-2 win at Stoke that was a massive step to surviving a Prem season. More recently that late 0-1 win at Southend when Beevers scored in the last minute. I just hope we've got it in us. They're obviously going to need the work-rate and passion but also high levels of concentration - and we don't always do that! Any prospect of Orient nicking something at Derby? Unlikely but there are easier fixtures Derby could have today. We've seen for ourselves that Orient don't entirely meet the description of a flat-track for teams at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if we don't want it more than them, something is wrong. They've got 4 goes to get a win, we can't afford any slip ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted April 13 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13 (edited) Fuck me this is huge! But as @barrycowdrill says I can’t shake off this let down we’ve had on big occasions this season… Yes I can (hands over ears blocking out my internal negative thoughts). This is Bolton Wanderers, we produce big, special moments in promotion winning seasons and today is going to be one of them. Let’s get the place banging, no excuses, have a few beers beforehand and get those vocal cords lubricated and make sure we do our bit 👏. A first for us in Nam Ploy today, table for 10 booked at midday. COYFWM 👏👏 Edited April 13 by desperado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of ours just purchased, you can’t get two together anywhere else now. Latter days of prem had a cut off at 27k didn’t it? Was that with this level of segregation? Or would 26.5k see us sell out today? I reckon there’s a fair few of those going to go today.

Portsmouth twitter fans put in their place over ticket allocation - good to see. 👏 28,353 is our record ever attendance, versus Leicester in 2003. I was there but have absolutely no idea how the segregation was... But for a lot of the premier league days it was similar to today i.e. split south stand upper and lower. Given I've not seen an "over 25k" message on twitter I think we sell those south tickets and we'd be at 25.5 / 26k. So I think there's actually still all the "hidden" seats in the other stands not available yet (obstructed view ones around all the stand entries). They'd probably only come available as last resort if we sell out the south. Anyway, I think our record post prem is 25.5 so we could be topping it today, which would be amazing support.

Leyther_Matt Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 As much as anything else, it shows we’re capable of shifting 23,000 home tickets even at £30 a chuck which has rarely been the case for us. Been awake since 7 and still keep flipping between expecting a win and expecting a defeat. Such a big game it’s unreal. Great to be a part of, really.
