Does no one want to go to Pompey!

[Beach Hut]

I would go if I could but I can't

 

[spoonie]

yes 15,000 average so all big away followings got whole of the end !!!

 

[PWA]

I enjoyed the atmosphere in the 4-2 defeat, but the roof should make things nice and loud.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Wrong direction for one of my 3 or 4 away trips. Probably head mostly for London games tbh, if can get tickets.

 

[Birdie Boy]

3 more just been sold!

 

[Life After Bobby]

Would love to go but am skint (currently unemployed). If I didn't have a season ticket I'd jump at the chance!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Should we win handsomely on Saturday I expect the remaining tickets will go quite quickly

 

[crodonilson]

Me and thirteen chums are coming up to this one from Dorset, it's going to be a blast.

 

[Tummy Burger]

Think we've sold close to 2000, not too bad, we'll probably take nearly 3000, maybe even sell out. But everyone who wants to go will be able to go. These mythical 15,000 fans who want to go to every away game have been proved to be just that. Mythical.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Yep. You?

yep.

 

[Seasidesage]

Spoke to the ticket office yesterday afternoon and was told there was under a 1000 left. Given that the website crashed from the volume of users last night and Gen Sale has not started yet. I would say a sell out is a 100% certainty...

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

seems a long distant memory now when we were all chanting "We'll never go to pompey!".

Thankfully much happier days now.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Going to Cricket that day.

- people are on holiday
- people have spent a lot of money on making sure they get to an Amex game. SCC, spurs, donny, gills.
- people have spent a lot of money on merchandise.
- people are more interest in home games altogether atm and maybe havnt even thought about it yet.
- people aren't made of money
- people have other priorities other than football to worry about

There's countless reasons mate. I'll be there though! Couldn't miss this one!!!

 

[Shooting Star]

Even though it is a ploy to just make us spend more money, I will be buying most of the tat in honour of the game, as it's history and all that.

ETA: Shit, wrong thread. Please delete.

I guess the problems are:

1. It's a really tricky journey if you live East of Brighton. Lots of train changes etc.
2. Portsmouth seem quite a rough bunch. The game last season wasn't especially pleasant. I'm not sure some fans want to be in that type of environment.
3. Their first X1 are pretty strong. There are better chances of seeing an away win this season.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I entirely understand that some people simply can't afford it, and I realise of course that compared to the Palace game this is a very long way from a derby, but I still remember the games with Pompey from the 80s when we were both strong second tier sides and they were big games for both of us. There's a little something of that feeling coming back about this game, I think. They of course have Southampton fish to fry as we do with Palace, but it still feels like a big game to me.

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Pompey appear to have money for players but Cotterill told 5live last night that he hasn't got enough players available to fill the reduced subs bench.

Good to time to play them.

 

[pompeydel]

Just bought two tickets and i started off 17th in the queue so sales can't be going that bad
