The ramblings of a Pompey addict.....
|
This is the proud badge of the mighty Pompey (Portsmouth FC, to you.) This is the team I have supported for (counts on fingers and toes, continues on teeth) 38 years now. Blimey, eh? We won the FA Cup in 1939 and won the league title back-to-back in 1949 and 1950, just too early for me to have been there.That's still twice more than a certain other south coast club, though. Eh, Southampton?
We've won naff all since, of course, so at least I escape the accusation of glory hunting.....
We like to think we are some of the best supporters around, though, and even the manager (Alan Ball, just starting his second spell in the job, says that the fans kept the club afloat last season (97/98) by an effort of will. We hope better times await.

The POMPEY ANORAK BRIGADE
|
Look at these people, all old enough to know better.
They are a small selection of Anorax, loonies who have access to the internet and misuse it to gossip about Pompey.
In this picture there are academics, qualified scientists, the inevitable Network Engineers (whatever it is they do) and one graphic designer. Can you spot me?
We drink before and after home games in The Artillery Arms, Hester Rd, Milton, Portsmouth. Even if you are a quite sensible person you are welcome.....

The Fratton End (aaah)
|
This the new roost for those who like to pay for a seat, then stand and sing stuff like "Alan Ball's blue'n'white army" and "Pompey till I die" for 90 minutes.....
