StuRomseySaint Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 lol, oh dear, I wonder what their excuses will be for this one... Oh, and Kamaras constant banging on about how 'quiet' Fratton is and how it has the atmosphere of a pre-season friendly also made me chuckle.
benjii Posted 15 August, 2009 Author Posted 15 August, 2009 I expect it was Fulham's legendary giant away following which meant they had to ring-fence 3,000 seats in the home section, just in case.
niceandfriendly Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Our team may be really really ****, but we'll always, always have Portsmouth to laugh at to make us feel better. Christ they're pathetic aren't they?
Weston Super Saint Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Good news. We haven't had an attendance thread for at least a couple of hours.
StuRomseySaint Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Just to add..... Fulham sold out their allocation, just incase Corpy comes on here and trys to say that they didnt sell all their seats.
saint lard Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 17,510. Fulham sold out their allocation of 2k.
CB Fry Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Radio Five talked about "thousands of empty seats" in Farton. Easily the most passionate fanbase in Europe.
saint lard Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Over 3k empty seats. I think someone is telling porkys or being a tad sarky. SSN,Kamara reporting,said time and time again there was no atmophere at all,more like a friendly match ....... http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=424&fid=203&sty=2&act=1&mid=2124970876
niceandfriendly Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Good news. We haven't had an attendance thread for at least a couple of hours. Is it really a surprise? The most embarrassing and interesting topics in football need constant discussion IMO. Southampton's woeful football team, David Beckhams hair, Portsmouth's pathetic fanbase etc etc
70's Mike Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 most of them are either in Blackpool or Spain for their holidays
miserableoldgit Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 most of them are either in Blackpool or Spain for their holidays Surely picking hops in Kent.

Posts: 68 Trialist People in the local area can't afford it and even know we have a wide area of supporter base, a lot of people can't be arsed to drive or train in from West Sussex and North Hampshire, shame but that's the reality...we have to admit that we would never ever fill a 32'000 stadium even at £30 ticket...unless of course we had a team full of big names and there was a Semi Final ticket allocation up for grabs..!!! Oh. How. I. Laughed!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Surely picking hops in Kent. Or laying tarmac in Bursledon?
Crab Lungs Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Or laying tarmac in Bursledon? Sounds like the Skates have been stockpiling all those £1 The Sun holidays again...
Colinjb Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Quite simply, a sh*t club with no fans. Even at THAT level.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 "even know" ????? html//:www.mockneytoenglish.com/=evennow
Smirking_Saint Posted 15 August, 2009 Posted 15 August, 2009 Laugh all you want lads, as much as i took pleasure in the skates dire situation, we lost 3-1, nuff said
Huffton Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 Laugh all you want lads, as much as i took pleasure in the skates dire situation, we lost 3-1, nuff said We did, but in the grand scheme of things its just one loss. We are pretty much at the bottom of our downward spiral, Pompey are at the top of a very long and slippery slope. And yes, I will enjoy every minute of their slide, just as their fans did ours.:cool:

saintwarwick Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 Good news. We haven't had an attendance thread for at least a couple of hours. And you used one of your three allocated posts to tell us what we already know, thanks.
Clapham Saint Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 Just over 17k..... Massive club. Massive. You're just talking about the season tickets right? CoHo said they would sell 16k of them... Surely he wasn't wrong?
The Majestic Channon Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 I noticed plenty of empty seats in the farton end too when they showed fulham's goal, maybe now the myth of the skates being the best fans in the world can be put to bed, they are poor fans, very very poor, more concerned with fans of other teams adopting them as their second team because they used to sing ( when the tv camaras were there) than they are anything else.

Thats just reminded me of when Thierry Henry ripped them apart at Fratton, and they applauded him for it. So cringeworthy.
The Majestic Channon Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 Thats just reminded me of when Thierry Henry ripped them apart at Fratton, and they applauded him for it. So cringeworthy. I remember that, then all we heard from them for the rest of the season was how henry praised the home crowd after the match, that made their season, if it was a choice between that happening or relegation they would have chosen to go down
Thedelldays Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 PFC123 your support is pathetic so you now accept southampton are the better supported club even two leagues below you lot..?
aintforever Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 the entire time Saints were in the Premier League we had to survive by working on a budget and flogging our best players, most of the time with an unpopular asshole in charge. Yet 5mins of the same and the skates are turning their back in droves - a bunch of plastic fairweathers. I can't wait til Marcus has us in the prem with a team littered with England internationals - it will be build a second tier on SMS time.

I can't wait til Marcus has us in the prem with a team littered with England internationals - it will be build a second tier on SMS time. I was thinking about that the other day! If we do get back in the Prem this must be a definite possibility. Under the old Prem regime to do so would have meant raising further debt and so it wouldn't have happened for fear of it being a white elephant should we go down. Under Marcus, we simply write a cheque for £20m or whatever, no probs!

Anyway, has CorpHo enlightened us as to why we are so poorly supported in comparison to our near, almost extict, neighbours?

If it's been made public you should be able to find out just as easily as any Pompey fan, surely. I asked a friend at the club and was told it's somewhere around 12,000 so far but with numbers expected to go to the full 16,000 once the takeovers completed and new players start to arrive to calm people down a bit.
SW5 SAINT Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 A good comparison is our 20k plus for our opening day Lge 1 fixture againts Millwall compared to the 17,501 at Fartton Krap for Prem Fulham!
chocco boxo Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 15,000 more than turned up for their Carling Cup tie with Blackburn a few yeras ago!!! Pathetic the lot of them.
Mr saint Posted 16 August, 2009 Posted 16 August, 2009 A good comparison is our 20k plus for our opening day Lge 1 fixture againts Millwall (which was also televised live) compared to the 17,501 at Fartton Krap for Prem Fulham! Edited.

The guardian has this only 4 prem teams with reduced season ticket sales and who is first on the list yep pompey! http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/aug/13/premier-league-season-tickets-manchester-united
rallyboy Posted 18 August, 2009 Posted 18 August, 2009 I don't know what's funnier, the sight of all the empty seats as the wheels pop off the caravan bandwagon or a sweaty fat man dressed as an ice cream seller sat politely next to the man who has been slagging him off all week, both watching an awful team go down to a comedy goal in a living museum of 1960's football stadia. This season has great comic potential, I do hope they don't turn the corner too soon. I don't wish them out of business, just administration, financial meltdown and to be well adrift long before Christmas followed by an agonising slide through three or four divisions in front of that fanbase of 3,000 hardy souls. Then gain if Maradona is on his way that might not happen, and as the sweaty ice cream seller says, 'it's all on course still........and would you like sauce with that, and if you need to rent a flat in Barnet I have a fellow billionaire who can help you.' I'm sure it will be fine, what can go wrong?
