Academy Players

[1976_Child]

Do the academy players get to watch home games at SMS for free? Are they encouraged to and if so do they have reserved seating?

 

Anyone know?

 

(and if they do get to come for free, do they have to pay to lock their bikes up outside the stadium..?)

Yes they get tickets free for them and their parents.

Often see lads who look like Academy types heading up towards the back of Block 5

Interesting if this i the case? Only say that as they are based in digs and on rubbish money aren't they? If so I might head up to Hill Lane and start offering them £10 - £50 for their Pompey home tickets if things get a bit tight in April re' tickets.

 

Anyway, must dash, the tradesman doing Friday "job n knock" are turning up to the boozer and distracting the all day every day degenerates that are my ticket mules for Skates away in December - another round of house vodka coming up....

women shouldn't even be at football. When our lads get home after the game the WAGS should have their tea ready.

It is the case. My nephew is in the academy and I have benefitted from taking him on a number of occasions the past 3 or 4 years.

i've seen them a few times after a match,all kitted out in their tracksuits,walking back to the mini bus which was parked in the industrial estate behind the Chapel. before the Watford game i saw them by Ted's statue & i was so busy talking to my son i walked straight into Jason Dodd
