It really is bizarre. The go to response for winning important home games is to destroy their cesspit of a town. Improves the place I guess.

It's always quite amusing looking back on some of these threads: some posters do like making themselves hostage to fortune..

My Portsmouth area football team mates were quite busy on our chat with the banter before the game but surprisingly quiet now!

They were really looking forward to playing us, bless them. 

Still better than them as we have been for most of the time in modern years.

Dear Skate Cunts,

Firstly we apologise for the delayed reply but we’ve been preoccupied with an engagement in London recently.

Anyway, we’re going to have to decline your invitation for a visit to Notarff Krap in the foreseeable future as having checked our diaries we have a prior engagement with the Premier League.

Thanks again for thinking of us, 

Yours sincerely  ( and up yours)

Dragan, Henrik, Rasmus, Katherina,  and Russ.

One benefit of this powder puff piss poor end to the attempt to get promoted is that we will get to play our local rivals twice in a year. Scarily, they’ll be fired up after being promoted and we will be stripped of talent off the back of a disappointing non-promotion season that for awhile looked promising. 

Ye had little faith

I see they are creaming themselves on various websites because the owners have spent £15m on stadium improvements, claiming it shows the ambition and commitment of the owners. Seemingly oblivious that it actually represents the bare minimum to keep Fratton Park viable as a football stadium. Without this spend the capacity would be down to about 10k……!

10 thousand ? So just a typical small skate family reunion.

What are they actually spending it on then? Functioning women's toilets, non collapsing seats (both personal experiences), non-rusting barriers, in date fire extinguishers, paying St. John's Ambulance in advance, making sure roof panels haven't got holes or won't drop off?? Even Man U don't have to bother with the latter!

I’m afraid it’s disappointment for our friends down the road, they were so certain that the wait was over for derby matches to begin again…..😀

That’s a brutal opening couple of months, until they play Oxford. However Oxford always seem to get a result against Pompey…..!

The battle of Waterloo

 

It still will be even if the Spurs-Saints game is moved, Millwall v the Skates has a long history of trouble eg Waterloo station when it kicked off between their fans late 90s/early 00s. IIRC the skates were in a pub next to the station called the Windmill. Just like the Thomas Crown Affair theme tune, the Millwall had the Windmill in their minds and getting at the skates in it. Quite a battle by all accounts and the pub was totalled - was Dec 2001 http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/programmes/2002/hooligans/diary/portsmouth.stm

Edit - the poor old Windmill, more trouble 10 or so years on https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/pub-wrecked-as-football-fans-clash-6335058.html

No wonder that fixture has been played behind closed doors at times!

Looking at the fixtures, all the times they're heading west (and therefore the trains will go via Southampton Central), it's either a midweek game where we're not playing, or a weekend that we're also playing away (For instance, they're at Swansea when we're heading east to Brighton).

Yeah, we've got an easy first 7, only have to play Newcastle, Man Utd, and Arsenal.

Still, you do get 2 Derby games.

No it's Jimmy Dickinson . Made 764 appearances for them. Presumably had no sense of smell.

For those living locally, how accurate do you think this is ? Indicates a fairly even split in Winchester although I always regarded that as firmly Saints territory. Romsey, Stockbridge also ‘ours’.

I always thought Fareham was fairly evenly split (where my dad grew up he went to school with Saints and Pompey fans) but it's showing as white. What does white represent?

As a Winchester local, this is highly inaccurate. 

A fond memory I have is watching the Saints v Skates at Fratton Park in December 2011 in the Eclipse Inn. It was rammed 100% full of Saints fans. A Dad and Son in Blue tucked their heads in during the first half to try and watch the match. They very quickly backed out.
