If anyone can tell me how to paste it in as it appears on the sheet I will happily do so One thing that tends to be forgotten by Pompey fans is that the two times the team won 1st Division, the capacity of Fratton Park was 51,000 However their average crowd for both seasons (ie early 50's when most grounds were full post war and Pompey had loads of matelots in port) was 37,000 (ie approx. 75% of capacity) and one of those years the average was less than Hull City who were a Third Division team!!!

rallyboy Posted 29 January, 2015 Share Posted 29 January, 2015 From those stats, all fanbase debates are over. There is one very clear winner. Though I guess if we take into account quantity and quality, the fact that their smaller following never boos their own, must give them the edge. Portsmyth no.728. All scummahs boo their own team at every home game and leave at half time if they aren't winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 30 January, 2015 Share Posted 30 January, 2015 http://welovebetting.co.uk/2015/01/football-league-tips-31st-january-2015/ Wycombe Wanderers v Portsmouth | Saturday 15.00 I’ve had nightmares picking my favourite League Two bet. Do I take Wycombe? Do I mention Stevenage? If I mention Stevenage, do I throw in the Both Teams To Score and Stevenage win at a big price instead? Welcome to my brain every Wednesday where these sorts of questions and quandaries are commonplace. I’ve plumped for Wycombe. Why? Well at a shade of odds-on, I still think they’re a very backable price. They’re top of the table, for Christ’s sake. Oh and Portsmouth (probably more importantly) are rubbish. You heard, they’re useless! I’m a huge fan of teams showing character, discipline, determination and spirit when they go about their business. Even better if said side can play above expectations with the collective unit taking precedence over individual needs and flair. Burnley are a fine example of that in the Premier League and Wycombe under Gareth Ainsworth this season are your blueprint in League Two. The Chairboys have built from the back and Ainsworth has harnessed an unbeatable work ethic amongst his squad to ensure Wanderers are a match for any side in the fourth tier. Just three defeats in 27 league outings suggest he’s found the magic formula. At home Wycombe have recorded wins in 7/13 (54%) of their games and come into this clash on the back of four clean sheets in five, one of which was recorded at rampant hosts Shrewsbury. Impressive stuff. So what can we say about Portsmouth, other than repeating the fact that they’re umm… ****e? It’s now eight defeats in 14, no wins in eight and no away win since August. Seven defeats in 13 is a feeble effort for a club that continues to throw money at a squad twice the size of some of their league rivals. Andy Awford’s taking a lot of flack (quite rightly so) and supporters must be wondering what on earth has gone wrong. They’re bottom of the form table, bottom of the away table, have already failed to score seven times away and they’ve D2-L6 of their games away to top-half teams. I could go on but you get the message; they’re ****e! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
