Er, no he didn't actually......

Whoooooooosh?

[rallyboy]

sorry Miserableoldgit but pfc123 is correct on this one.

Starkey did the editions up until the previous August, then Peter Snow and his son took over and it had a bit more of an edge too it, less text, more graphics.

Aha! I plead ignorance!

Oh allright- I'll hold my hand up to doing the last four issues, being a mere contributor before that......

not quite as long, started in 61 and i agree with your view

i used to go to the supporters club on a Sunday lunchtime but it was not to watch wan*er Wooley.

 

It is strange how that Supporters Club actually brought supporters together which does not appear to be the case with the Dell bar at SMS

 

Got me thinking about many a good time. Dug out the old Dell Supporters club badge. Why was it 'Dell' and not 'SFC' ? :smt060

I always admired the logo on the badge which I believe was based on a charicature drawn by 'Os' in the Echo.

 

That Saint figure would have/still could have made a great mascot for the club.

He knows it makes sense .

No reason to scummers. After they started using it some little skate tw*t invented some bull about it standing for something. It doesn't. But claiming it did is why we call them Portsmyth.

It's on the telly so it must be true

It's a name, and allegation, given to the matelots by the inhabitants of Portsmyth. We were told this by a Havant dwelling DJ who worked at our local pub in the early 70's. Us Eastleigh lads then adopted the term 'skate' for any inhabitant of Portsmyth. The term, for us, has been in use since about '74/5.

I remember someone back in the days of S4E researching the mythical strike at Congress House for part of their local history MA.

 

It never happened.

 

Soton dockers have always been far more militant than their blue neighbours and there is no record of any commercial dockers union in pompey let alone a strike during the timeframe mentioned.

Like you say, something conveniently dreamed up in support of a name commonly used by local rivals around the country.

 

Perhaps that's why Turd Island is known affectionately as Portsmyth here in God's part of Hampshire?
