Pompey Takeover Saga

Listening to Solent on the way back from the match and they were interviewing one of the skate directors (or whatever). Going on and on about how they don't get the 50/50 decisions at home because the refs are overawed by the atmosphere. Then some stupid statement that he had counted 27 such decisions this season and they had only got 2. Utter utter garbage.

 

The mythmaking happens at all levels.

 

Whittingham then peddled the "referees are overawed at Fatpipes and all of L2 hope that the stay down due to the Skates away support" myth.

Odd how overawed refs normally favour the home sides in such intimidating arenas but Fratton Park bucks the trend!

I thought our year was the last season where that was the case and that away goals do count now. But I may have just made that up.

 

Other way round, our one was the first year where away goals didn't count and it's been that way since.

 

The year before we'd have been in the final!
