Exactly :smilielol5:

having lived in Pompey for 8 years, we always thought fondly of our neighbours, much like India and Pakistan :cheers2:

What has happened to Portsmouth is a 'blueprint' for how not to do it. Regrettably, they cast their own die.

It would be worse if they had to support Millwall. :cheers2:

Lived in Pompey for years and saw shopkeepers board up the windows when a Pompey Millwall game was on. At least Scumhampton (sorry that's what the supporters call it, personally I like it especially St Marys, lovely girls there :)) didn't seem to have a mass riot squad of hooligans. They probably did but I never witnessed it. The Pompey supporters just "didn't like scummers" whereas for Millwall it was utter hatred.

Don't understand it myself, it's just a "game" with overpaid actors seeing who can cheat the most convincingly. Sure the residents around Fratton Park will be loving it, their house prices should double.

I think you'll find it the opposite
It's a sort after road leading into Fratton Park

Support AFC Bournemouth :D

Yes your right that one little bit of road leading up to the gates is sought after and there's no trouble there as it's lined with police, but all the surrounding areas I reckon will see a benefit. It remains to be seen I guess, they aren't in administration just yet, looks quite likely though.

It doesn't necessarilly mean the end of Portsmouth. Middlesbrough (my team, unfortunately) went the same way in 1986 but are still around.

Real shame, Pompey have always played some very "honest" football :(

The premiership is way too commercial these days, lower league has way more to offer to the serious "neutral" viewer.
