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?

I’ve now found the full article.

I think the white areas are where no research has been done, or answers submitted.

Clearly  isn’t a large sample and as the writer says was done for fun.

Also, ten years old.

Found this whilst searching internet for something else. 
 

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’.

As if Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst romsey are split lol. Whats the Blue bit in the middle of Winchester?

Decent result for the blue few, Leeds will be there or there abouts at the seasons end.  Maintain that level for the season and you’ll have a good one.

The were dicking you after 20 minutes and I thought it would be a cricket score. Fair play you showed some character. Will be interesting to see if you can make the playoffs.

3 points from the first three games, at the start of the season would of snapped your hand off for that but the feeling is one of disappointment losing points in the last few minutes.😒

Burnley then Sheff Utd next two games. Will the raw passion of the best fans in the league be enough to triumph over the parachute payments? No

Sitting in the new street food outlet area in Abingdon Street market in Blackpool last week, with food from the noodle bar, "This is How it Feels" by Inspiral Carpets comes over the sound system, so naturally I sing along - "This is how it feels to be Pompey,..."

Based on the fact that we are almost certain to be relegated, it would deaden the disappointment if Pompey were relegated too.
Unfortunately I think there are at least three teams worse than they are so it looks like derbies could be back on the agenda next season.
Mind you it comes to something when, historically, the two most successful teams on the south coast are struggling whereas the so called 'minnows' ie Brighton and Bournemouth are flourishing.

I just wanted to thank Mack and his team for brightening the dark cloud by losing in the last minute Saturday. I know they really want to be like us but......

It's the ten thousand travelling away fans who made the long journey to Stoke that I feel sorry for.

But, but, but they still sung when they were losing, no other fans have ever done that before.

Reality has arrived and as suspected, it can be found in Stoke on a Wednesday night.

Just think about them; you travel away to such mystical places as Stoke, Grimsby, or Walsall, you gaze in awe at all the amazing and exciting features of modern life, yet at the final whistle you have to turn your back on these wonders and return to the septic isle.

I think the TV director on Sky must be a Pompey fan as he panned onto them and the panel were saying how wonderful they were, not mentioning tht most had left.

Merson obviously lauding them .

that was embarrassing after the first 4 games it felt like we might be ok in this league, now its already looking a bridge to far.

something defiantly wrong with that training ground we have lost half a team there already.  the biggest piss off  is if you don't ditch Martine your goanna be back in the championship and we wont be there to greet you.

And to think there were those who doubted me when I said several seasons ago that the tax cheats getting promoted to the championship would elevate the chortle factor on this thread several fold... 😁

Sadly it's hard to laugh at them while we have Rasmus and Co. destroying our club and taking us back down again on very possibly single digit point(s).

Nonsense. To quote Samuel Johnson- ‘when a man is tired of enjoying Portsmouth’s struggles he is tired of life’
