One irony. We have decided to rent an apartment in central Guildford before moving there next year to end our days in a town centre within minutes of trains, buses and a wide range of facilities. After 45 glorious years in the Forest with total dependence on cars. Our daughter 5 minutes away. I will be at Fratton in less than an hour and London in 43 minutes. Naturally not that important πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
Lived near Guildford for 15 happy years used to get down to FP by car via the A3 so easy. Also by train main line station from Waterloo as you know your close to the Hospital there in times of need.

I love this place! Could do with a few more cricket discussions during close of football season. πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Got lucky on renewal. Moved to North Lower, Block F Row Y seat 122. Back row halfway line one in - perfect for quick getaway. Always up for a chat.

It was good to see supporters standing and not in regimented rows. Looking forward to the Fratton End safe standing work being finished.
