rallyboy Posted 15 June, 2018 Share Posted 15 June, 2018 Yep they're still enjoying real football in the backwaters, but they are going to spend big, big, big! Mainly because they need a safety certificate and a pitch that drains, but they've dressed that up as some glorious future investment and the plucky faithful have translated that as a new 35k-seater stadium that will make the Harbourdome look like the Withdean. And re the new signing who is all excited because he saw the mighty blue army when he was a boy...I saw Slade when I was a boy but it doesn't make me want to team up with Dave Hill and tour in 2018. That would be crazee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 16 June, 2018 Share Posted 16 June, 2018 And a nice Pompey at the World Cup article. Apparently, the Senegal Head Coach made 28 appearances for Pompey over a decade ago. Nice of them to point out that Portsmouth Community Football Club has never been represented at a World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 22 June, 2018 Share Posted 22 June, 2018 (edited) Their new kit has been released... it's teamwear gash. Nike's Challenge II template, used by every decent Nike team for their third kit last season. As ever, it's now available for parks teams: Comes with completely plain white shorts and completely plain red socks. I can't wait until Nike start sodding about with their colours because they only release one style of short and socks every two years... And here it is completely unaltered for any old parks team at £32 a shirt (or £24 a shirt if you buy 14)... http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/products/nike-challenge-ii-ss-jersey-royal-blue-white-mens-football-teamwear-893964463-176520.aspx Edited 22 June, 2018 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 23 June, 2018 Share Posted 23 June, 2018 "Any old parks team" Oi, no need to be so disparaging! :-) By the time we've put on our sponsors logo, our team badge, numbers, Hampshire FA patch, etc, they end up expensive. My best friend doesn't even like football but I managed to persuade her to be the shirt sponsor before she really understood how much it would cost. Fortunately she's still smiling and talking to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 25 June, 2018 Share Posted 25 June, 2018 Really, I'm sure I haven't mentioned it since last season, and this thread, if it's anything, is all about continuity and recurrent themes! :->> If you really want the detail I play very little, off the bench. Would you like more detail? I'm not up to Heisenberg's or CB Fry's level of tiresomeness, or even, dare I say it The9s when it comes to all things to do with shirts, which is where we came in. But if I'm feeling stroppy I'm sure I can go completely OT and be as irrelevant to the topic as the rest of you are much of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 27 June, 2018 Share Posted 27 June, 2018 (edited) They had a debate about safe standing in parliament. A Portsmouth MP spoke - within the opening sentence mentioned how Portsmouth have a prolific history of European and top flight football (cue the facepalm gif) and then made a joke about Southampton fans having to sit because the quality of football is poorer apparently. Royston Smith hit back though with a few jibes of his own. It’s all on Hansard if any nutjobs want to take a look for themselves.

He also played for Hampshire Grammar Schools during the week. Mike Pratt from Swanage GS playing RB, had to mark him when they played us (Dorset GS) at Brockenhurst and we pulled his leg in the dressing room after that his opponent was playing for the Skates the previous week in Europe.

This comprehensive wiki on English clubs in International competitions mentions them ONCE (2008/9). They also qualified in 2010 but forgot to pay anyone for anything and didn't get a licence and weren't allowed to play. Plus tbh they'd have been an embarrassment and probably wouldn't have been able to get a budget flight back once the bill came in. FWIW, compared to their one, uno, ein, un... we've qualified for Europe nine times (though one was during the post-Heysel ban). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Pratt from Swanage GS playing RB, had to mark him when they played us (Dorset GS) at Brockenhurst and we pulled his leg in the dressing room after that his opponent was playing for the Skates the previous week in Europe. I was slightly mistaken here. Pat Neil played for Skates making his debut in 1955/6 aged 17 whilst at Northern Grammar School. He then left for Wolves and it was here he played in Europe against Red Banner. He went back to the Skates in 1962 and ended up a school headmaster.
