Thread | Saints V Pompey Matchday Thread

Due to having to get up at 6.30 am to leave home at 7am, to check in at 7,30am for a coach that leaves at 8.30 am and arrives at Portsmouth at 9.15 am I need to put up this thread now.

I dont think Saints will take him back to pay his wages for the rest of the season, he was injured whilst in Stoke's pay, why should we pay around £1.5 million in wages |

This is a crucial game, win it and we are back in the promotion race, but lose it and we could be in a relegation battle |

You are right, on the operational side of things we have done some good things.
Parsons has tried to not only generate income but get the fans engage with the club and get people using St Mary's 7 days a week.
The Fanzone - as you say, there are thousands of people mingling around St Mary's 3 hours before kick off in 4 different fanzones if you include the away one.
The Dell bar is in use not only before and after games, but during the week and although i have not been in level 1 it again gets kids engaged with the club
In truth fanzones are not our invention, we were fairly late to the party, but they cater for a section of the fanbase and have some decent offers, they sell their Premium Lager at 4 pints for £22 with discount for season ticket holders meaning you can pay less than a fiver a pint, compare that for what you are paying for the same beer in the chain pubs at £6 plus.
But all of them were fairly cheap to build and generate revenue, those that say that they would rather give their money to local pubs/businesses, should consider for instance just how many pubs are not actually local businesses, but part of chains and big companies, virtually all of the ones from London Road to the Royal Pier are owned by the big pub companies such as Wetherspoons/Yates etc, likewise the fast food chains and restaurants.
I was never a fan of moving the away end and it still has issues as in they can't split it into sections when the away club don't take a full allocation, so that home fans can use it.
But the only real issue is that those that the Northam end havent got anyone to bounce off, but why should that be a problem, most of the clubs who are known for their atmosphere, have their "singing" section at the far end from the away fans, Liverpool, Everton, Forest, Man Utd, Sunderland, Palace, all clubs who don't rely on sitting next to the away fans to generate their enthusiasm and dare I say it Portsmouth.
So the issue isn't moving the away end, it is our own ability to get things going. |

Weather forecast is 7 degrees Sunday morning and dry, 20% possibility of rain at midday, but we will be in the ground then so it should be ok on Sunday. |

Some of you may remember the Pompey fan who used to come on here from about 2000-2010 StumpyPFC.
Sadly it seems he passed away this week, a little sad to hear this, even though its the Derby week |
