On the basis of that I would expect Pompey to field their best team, which would not include giving players a run out.

Re: Not the top 20 League one

That was a really good thread to bring back for an airing at this time. Just reading through those views, including my own, it seems almost naive now reading some of them. I am surprised we have done so well just as many other people have been, including the bookies. Thinking of our summer recruitme...

Re: Looking ahead to the Championship

It is true that we are not going to get bigger gates in the Championship but I assume we were getting larger gates in League One that were budgeted for. We will be getting more8 TV revenue including more live games due to the new TV deal concerning the Championship. I would also assume we will get m...

Re: Looking ahead to the Championship

I think more mistakes will be punished next season due to the higher quality of our opponents. I agree we were caught out quite a few times by pacey counter attacks, especially at Fratton Park. I also wonder whether a sort of complacency had crept in as well. I read Jimmy Dickinson's autobiography w...

Re: Top of the League.

OK, I think it best to leave it there. But just for the record I am absolutely delighted with the way this season has turned out. I also believe we are the best team in this league, as the table shows. I do think League One was much more of a level playing field this season without the likes of Ipsw...

Re: Top of the League.

All I can say is my granddaughter who has travelled around the country for the last 2 seasons with me called Tuesday “the best day of her life” Think that sums up how many of our younger fans who have been starved if any success will be feeling at the moment And they are our future And this is one ...

Re: Top of the League.

BW, for God's sake just be happy. I am. What have I said on here that would suggest I am not happy? After the season we have just had any Pompey supporter has got to be happy. What I am not happy about is that I have been misquoted. So why don't you ask the certain person who keeps misquoting me th...

Re: Top of the League.

Ipswich by all intents and purposes build a team in league one over 2 seasons (spending plenty) which was pretty much a championship team in waiting and strengthen over close season That has been a bit of a gamble which could pay off however I don't think even allowing for extra income from the cha...

Re: Top of the League.

How lucky are we. The league is supposedly weaker, and every other club in the league has seemingly been weaker, as they have failed to take advantage of it. I didn't say "every club was weaker". I said it was weaker mainly due to Ipswich not being in League One. I actually agree with the...

Re: Wigan

Many thanks. I managed just one visit. The 3-0 Leyton Orient defeat! Built a decent credit from ticket exchange towards renewal of season which I hope to make better use of next season. Thanks for the match report. Sounds like the fans caused no trouble during the presentation. What a relief we won...

Re: Wigan

I am sorry you were unwell and couldn't make the match and celebrations, but I hope you are feeling better now. As for the game I would say Wigan just about shaded the first half but we should have been a goal up after 10 minutes when Bishop missed an absolute sitter. I can't quite remember how it c...

Re: How do STs work?

People pay £40 to join the waiting list to take up any seats vacated by existing season ticket holders which is taken off the cost of the ticket I would imagine that not many people will be giving up their current seat for the upcoming season unfortunately I wondered whether the club would issue mo...

This seasons Pompey beat this seasons Sheffield Wednesday for me too.
You are quite possibly right, I wouldn't argue against that.
