I think the facts that trumps all are these.
FA cup average attendance
11,088 Soton
15,874 Pompey
a massive 4,786 difference, and Pompey have played 100 games less
Added to the 2,592 average difference in top flight games, and we have an incredible 7,378 difference in the games that really matter. ie top flight and FA cup
7,378 wow | |

Very easily explained!
We all know the blue few were a bigger club pre 1960, but pretty much since then we have been the bigger club and will continue to be for quite some time. Just accept it!

I’d still like to know where the FA Cup stats come from.
I wonder if our sailor friend is including attendances at Wembley from finals back in the 1930’s and 1940’s.... | |

Meaningless as teams are in different leagues
All Time Top Flight average league attendance
23,927 : Pompey
21,335 : Soton
This is the gap you should be minding more than any other. A huge gap. | |

Pompey's last 5 seasons in the bottom rung having higher average attendances than Soton in the top flight for 12 of their season's ; rather disproves the opinion that Pompey fans glory-hunt. | |

In the final analysis, lets look at the games between the two sides
League : highest average?
FA cup ; highest average
Then check out the 200 biggest games in English football in terms of gates: which team has the higher number of games?
I wonder if any Soton fan knows the answers, and if he is prepared to write them here? | |

Some poster's appear to be ruuning away from these facts. ie Derby games
Football league games (ie same division in the same season)
23,018 Soton v Pompey
23,662 : Pompey v Soton
A difference of 644 in games over a 100 years period, where both clubs have had larger and smaller stadiums. These games aren't impacted by position in league, or quality of team, or annoyance with owner, but clearly show Portsmouth with more fans, and crucially Soton never played Pompey when they were easily one of the best teams in the country over a 4 decade period. | |

Love the way you use your 1984 defeat to Saints to score attendance positivity points. Yes there were over 36k there that day, but the reality is that your home league average that season was just 13,196, proving that your fickle fans were only there to see Southampton !! Genuinely, where were the other 23k all season ? |  |

You can't get any fairer comparison than this:
The average gates of ALL the seasons when Saints and Pompey have been in the SAME DIVISION together:
Southampton 17,385
Portsmouth 15,310
