Bury on Saturday week

Post by No Shot Sherlock »

So, I'll be making my first pilgrimage to Fratton Park in almost 2 years for the visit of Bury. Will I recognise the 'old girl'? Will I recognise any of the players? As i'll be sitting in the South Stand, is it mandatory to take a flask and blanket?

Please ensure that both flask and blanket are in a smart TARTEN design. There is a trend towards modern stainless flasks and fleece blankets; neither of these is suitable for the South Stand.

Pedant Alert!

On the basis that you only need one of each I would go for a tartan design - sorry PP, I'll get my coat.

Indeed, but you did get "Neither of these IS..." right. There are too many who would have put "Neither of these are...". So you're still in my good books!

My flask is stainless steel, but it's in a tartan cover. Is that acceptable?

She goes mad every time this tiny little word is unnecessarily inserted in front of a sentence where it makes perfect sense without it.
Of course because it annoys her I NEVER start my sentences off with it.....well, almost never.... :wink:

Anyway, it'll be a blast. The mighty Pompey against the Shakers. Should be a great game and the Charlton result will guarantee a good crowd!
Stop looking for solutions to symptoms and start identifying the disease.

So (had to be done :wink: ), with nothing to benchmark today's performance against, I guess I should just be happy we won, but I now see why our goal difference is so modest given our league position.
