We had sold about 1800 a few days ago but there will be POTD so I'd expect in excess of 2000.
Not bad, imo, for a TV game on a Friday night and with it not being the easiest of trips. As mentioned, it's about a fifth of our total home support!
Totally agree mate, it's not really a rivalry. We've had some good games over the years but it's not really a rivalry, I think the media just like it because of our recent history of being two good footballing teams and it being sort of a South Coast Derby (lol).
There's a lot of differences between us and Pompey.

No one knows what the future will...

It's weird that people think this. Even going back as far as when he was still a regular player, he's been absolutely brilliant with the supporters and around the club. He's genuinely always respectful of the opposition, doesn't get carried away (as he could have been with our results of late)...
We pay more than we did, but it's still little compared to most clubs around us.
We had a good summer financially. We got 6mil from the Lallana sale and 3mil from the Grabban sale and paid less than that 3mil for Wilson. He's probably on a smaller wage, too. We do have Boruc who is probably...
