CB Fry Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 No, not a dream. I can recall Portsmouth being referred to as Scum back in the 70s. The phrase "Pompey scum" is still sung at every match, in more than one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 I always remember them as Scummers, didn't hear Skate until around the 90's . I'm sure there was a game at white hart lane where one of theirs , I think it was Anderton, was abused with "Scummer, scummer" every time he touched the ball and a ridiculous reporter writing that we were shouting " sieg heil" , with it being at spurs , quite a nasty accusation . Is my memory playing tricks with me or did this really happen , the article I mean as I know the abuse did . You not getting mixed up with the Millwall/Brighton "Seagulls" thing are you?

Wow, nicely done! That aerial photo shows just how much this deal for a few parking spaces has blocked any future development. The diagram that used to show all the available land explained why they were attractive as an investment. If Mandaric or Redknapp or whoever wanted to invest now, there is nowt of value left to buy. It's as if the Harbourdome dream never happened. And what happens with the property developers once they have their cash? A gentle withdrawal, a sale of their control?

trousers Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 # Weekly bestest fans klaxon # http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/awford-after-another-daggers-demolition-1-6569921 ‘Last year we had the whole of one end behind the goal and a load down the side. ‘We almost had more fans in the ground than they did! That’s pretty amazing. ‘It was a special moment for me walking back to them after the game. ‘I just hope it’s the same tonight.’ The geography of Victoria Road places the bulk of away supporters around the tunnel behind one of the goals. That meant the home players had to run the gauntlet through raucous away fans last season. Pompey’s players were lifted by their followers and their backing before and during the match, before receiving their acclaim as they left the pitch. Awford has no doubt his team will benefit from a repeat of that scenario. He said: ‘I felt a bit sorry for their players that day. They had to go back through it. It can’t be nice! ‘It will be interesting to see what the atmosphere will be like – well, I know what it’s going to be like. ‘It can have a psychological effect sometimes. It gave us a lift last year, that’s for sure. Our fans aren’t quiet are they!’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 10 February, 2015 Share Posted 10 February, 2015 That's practically a 200% increase in PL media funding since the gaptoothiest got their comeuppance. How they must loathe well-run PL clubs and their boring £millions That's going to take us to a level that may make some of them pig sick. Hello Corp Ho. Have come across another 'justification' for the SCUMMER insult. Apparently there was an article in the April/May 1996 issue of the Fanzine 'Frattonise' which states that the term actually came out of a local fishing company dispute prior to WW1 which involved two companies with branches in Portsmouth and Soton. As per usual Pompey myths, the nasty men from Soton broke the strike, hence the Scummer tag. This has been taken as FACT by many in Pompey as it was included in a published version of a well known and impeccably researched fanzine so who would argue with such an esteemed publication!!!!!!!!. The fact that no date has been ascribed to the so called dispute, no company name offered, no understanding that Southampton has never been recognised as a fishing port makes it all the more laughable. Would be interesting to know how many 'excuses' for the so called strike are now in existence http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?14620-Pompey-Takeover-Saga&p=2084756#post2084756 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 11 February, 2015 Share Posted 11 February, 2015 Isn't the TV deal for League Two clubs worth less than a million a year?... If Bournemouth go up they will earn approx the same amount in TV money for one season that pompey will take through all of their season ticket and matchday ticket income over the next twenty years. I thought we picked the wrong time to drop out of the top flight but they had to go one better and picked a very unfortunate time to leave the top table. Thank-you Avram you legend for ushering them away from all of the nasty big boy clubs that are jealous that they can't battle for a plucky draw at Dagenham on a Tuesday night. The old gravedigging prossie-botherer might have pulled the trigger on their Premier League status, but his fine work was continued by Cotterill, Appleton and so many other future England managers. It really has been a team effort to get them back where they belong. I salute them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's right, could they still get the stadium turned 90 degrees? Looks like they might have room - except is there a sliver of land cutting the beach & stadium in two parts? Their plan for some time has been to rotate the ground 90 degrees. You can see that if they do ever get back up the leagues then there is room for a fare bit of redevelopment. Possibly, maybe, if, could, might, but they have a long way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
