Is it wrong to want the Northampton game frozen off?

Post by Jack_Tinn »

is it wrong the night before to secretly think it may be in Pompey's best interest if the Northampton game was called off because of a frozen pitch?

Bishop is probably out for this game and he could be available for any rescheduled game. However if the game was called off then Morrell would not be available for the Bolton game.

I still think though that it would not be the end of the world if this game was called off. Mind you if you could guarantee Pompey 3pts tomorrow I would want the game played of course!!

I'd be gutted if it is called off. Looking forward to going. Win, draw or lose, up the Blues.

Please note from 2pm the ticket office will be dealing with Portsmouth ticket sales only. Sales for other games will resume after the match.
QUOTE Northampton Town website.

Does this mean there are tickets available
You can take the man out of Pompey
But you can`t take Pompey out of the man

Enjoy your trip. Hope to see you again at FP before the season is out. I’m still recovering from surgery but bought my season ticket. Even if I only use it a couple of times it will be worth it. PUP.

the game is on.

and yes...I was there at THE Northampton game. I still feel sorry for the ball boys chasing across that cricket pitch on that open side of that ground.

Good. We've got to do without Bishop at some point. I know we already have in the BSM Trophy but not in the real thing.
Super Matt Macey in goal...

Was that the 1984 game where Pompey supporters were up the floodlight posts peeing onto the fans below??
Mark Hateley and Alan Biley made my favourite season.
