1d On The Ball
Getting to The Dell more than a hour before the game and queuing to get into the boys pen for the best spec.
Getting soaked on an open terrace.
Most pitches devoid of grass from October to April. Muddy in winter, dry as a bone in Spring.
Heavy leather footballs. |

When Pompey won the League just after WW2 their average home attendance was around 37,000 in a ground that could hold 50,000.
That was less that Hull City who were champions of Division Three North
At that time there were a lot of Navy personnel in Pompey and Gosport and quite a few people from outside Pompey, including some from Southampton and elsewhere in Hampshire, who used to go to Fratton Park to watch the occasional game.
Obviously these were not members of the laughingly named Southampton Combined Union of Men, who were rampant strike breakers, according to Pompey folklore.. |

IF it is built and IF we manage to return to the Prem in 5 years time, would we be given 10% of the tickets?
Wouldnt it be better to build the new stadium in London or somewhere else closer to where their core support comes from? |

Apparently a Russian Commentator reckons it was all a set up by the nasty British and designed to implicate the innocent Captain.
Perhaps he's right.
The dastardly Brits probably manufactured a bit of light fog and the vessel at anchor was surreptitiously moved in the way of the oncoming container ship. |

Correct.
There is no planning.
However the major first step is arranging the plan to move the Aggregate Companies to move off site and that is under way.
Until that can be done there is no way prospective interested parties can be engaged.
It will probably be 3-4 years before a deal can be done to remove existing tenants but discussions are underway to progress this.. |

As I understand, the Council own most, if not all the land alongside the western side of the River Itchen waterfront.
However there are a number of going concerns that have long leases.
If there is an issue with some of the companies refusing to surrender their leases eg the Aggregate Companies, the Council can, theoretically, Compulsory Purchase them.
I have heard whispers that plans to develop the Itchen waterfront is a bit more advanced than I originally thought. |

Dibling has attributes as an attacking player but is poor defensively.
Nowadays players have to do their bit against the ball as well as with the ball and currently Dibling doesnt measure up in the formrt capacity and that lessens his value |

Agree with this.
Our scouting on a value for money basis has been atrocious |

Normally the hotel that the Saints use is Harbour Hotel at Ocean Village.
Not too bad but accept the location could be bettered.
I think a friend of Lucy Pinder is helping out. |

Pompey fans reckon that back in the day Shoemakers from Northamptonshire undercut footwear products made in the Royal Navy Yard in Pompey.
The errant shoemakers were represented by the Consolidated Union of Northamptonshire
Tanners and Shoemakers hence the acronym given to Northampton Town supporters |

Well said Nick
I look back to the days when I wanted a Saints top as a nipper, for my birthday
My Mum took me to Toomers in London Road and the only football shirt available was in Arsenal colours
This was OK as it was red & white.
The only other Saints shirt I have bought was a retro 1950 style for when we went to Milan. |
