Pompey away

[hackneyfox]

What’s it like for away fans nowadays?

I think that recently read on here that it was a great place for away fans nowadays.

 

Used to be one of the worst away days on the calendar, come very close to getting a kicking on two occasions.

Any recommendations for pubs?

Thanks

I think this will be moved to sky and 12.30

Back in the 90s this match was always tasty , not much love lost between the two sides back then

I can still clearly remember the radio commentary for Steve Thompson’s goal. I bet the locals were delightful outside after this one…

Blackburn Vs Coventry the Friday before, hopefully give us a boost

Booked my hotel months ago in preparation, didn't think it would be a relegation 6 pointer though

I'd booked to go down Tigers again on the  same day and I'm gutted this might mean I watch it before. I don't recognise myself

Depends who's playing.

 

 

Will be shit for us because we're playing.

It’s a club thing. 
 

If our players concede a goal they give up and if we lose a game the fans give up. Just as culpable as them.

That's not been happening in our away games under Rowett.

The Milton End is still as shit as ever - although it has a roof on it now.

You read it on Foxes Talk? Must be true then.

The 6.57 Crew...the only firm that Millwall regarded as worthy of fighting them.

Avoid the Shepherd's Crook at all costs.

Yes, it was lively afterwards. Thompson’s goal is high up on my list of favourite City moments.

 

Ormondroyd was a mile offside for his goal. 🤫

[Sol thewall Bamba]

It's a tip.

 

But equally people can't bleat "games gone", "against modern football" etc and then not relish going to a ground like this.

I wouldn't go if I were you. I can still feel that brick to the back of the head as I arrived circa 1971

That’s Bluey.

it was the playoff game.

He had a job on in London so he picked me up and we drove down in his car. Parker some way fro the ground as we couldn’t find any closer parking. We’d spotted a pub full of Leicester fans whilst looking for parking so made our way tethered only to find it now empty and short of windows. Landlady was sweeping up, apparently Pompey fans turned up outside and those inside threw everything not nailed down at them. We went to the next nearest pub to find it full of the Pompey fans involved in the fracas as the last pub. One quick pint and we ****ed if sharpish.

When we left the game we were spotted and followed by three rather large Pompey lads.

”That’s us ****ed then Bluey, you can fight but you can’t run, I can run but I can’t fight.”

We were just walking and waiting for them to pounce when a huge roar went up back down the road (apparently the Baby Squad had left the ground), thankfully the three following us decided that sounded like more fun and charged off down the road.

Couple of minutes later my mate Terry who had come down on the minibus from Rugby spotted us and came over for a chat, wearing a Leicester top. He was sharply told to depart.

 

see Neil fairly regularly and the Addison’s sit a few rows behind us. 
I haven’t seen Mark or Neil in some time.

All good lads.

One of the best grounds in the country. IMO beautifully modernised keeping much of the old character. Great implementation of safe standing. Plus their fans are *great*: LOLed at that Mike Oldfield thing they clap along to before kick-off! Fratton is a dump mind, a Leicester fan of old will feel right at home!

 

Edited to say I'd have Fratton Park right up there with Villa Park at the top of the tree - high praise haha!

 

(Portsmouth is *fantastic* for a weekend away. So much to see and do!)
