Policing Pompey Vs Saints

[Gangsta]

This has completly destroyed the day for us. We wont sell out down there now! Instead all the lads I go to games with around 10-15 won't be going, we'll be sat in a pub in southampton watching on tv. Would rather do that than pay the £30 for the ticket plus the £15 for the coach, on top of this the fact there will be no alcohol makes it a complete joke.

That is shit. I thought it was bad us having Palace on two weekdays.

f*** it I reckon they should just pull the police out and let them at each other.

In most cases I'd agree with you but Pompey v Southampton is so one-sided in terms of trouble that I fear we'd see the slaying of 3,000 Saints.

Most rivalries seem fairly even in terms of how nasty each set of fans in (even us and Palace) but Pompey v Southampton could quite literally be blue murder.

Bloody hell. We only charged fifteen quid for our coach to St Marys the other week. Haywards Heath to Southampton is a darn side further than Portsmouth to Southampton.

as was West Ham vs Cardiff, opening week of the season this year, + Cardiff only received 50% of the normal away allocation.

I've no doubt whatsoever in my mind that those walls were built for the zombie apocalypse.

No - what's destroyed the day for you and your Pompey friends as that neither of you can even go to a football match without turning the neighbourhood into a Serbian-style war zone. You can't be trusted to have a pint of shandy without wanting to fight each other. Sort that out and you might, just might get to watch your two teams play each other under more normal circumstances. Carry on with the knuckle-dragging behaviour (on both sides, neither is innocent) and you have seen your future.

It'll be another day of grown men growling at each other from behind the safety of a line of stewards, doing that fake "hold me back, hold me back" thing as if to pretend that the only thing preventing them from tearing the other side apart is a man in a yellow hi-vis jacket

This entirely!

I find it strange if not somewhat comical that the supposed 'hardcore hooly' is often discouraged from making actual contact with his/her despised enemy by a weedy little man purely because he is wearing a hi-viz jacket?!?
From most of the nobs i've seen they are 95% jumped up, self-obsessed, metro sexual, Danny Dyer wannabees!!!

To be fair, it might actually be a considerable social improvement if half of Pompey were to be fenced off like that.

Perhaps they could use them after the match to fence in the whole city and protect West Sussex from their marauding savages.

Those that want to have a scrap will have one anyway. Last time round it kicked off in Totton, about 5 miles away from the city centre. Those saying it would be 'blue murder' both sides have a very nasty element, but for pompey v saints, it's not just these to worry about. It's the tits off the estates that turn up for a ruck, not even with a ticket to the game.

Could this be the end to football as we know it

EXCELLENT news. Its THEIR rivalry and they are welcome to it. Nothing to see here.

Look on the bright side though. They have saved you from a good kicking!
