Didn't they have John Utaka on something insane like £80,000 a week at one point?
Brilliant

My view too i should imaging Tony Bloom will make sure we go for the extra fans in those areas as soon as Pompey and Palarse go on the slide or cease too exists we could be MASSIVE.
It would be mazing. Ford market would never be the same again without the neanderthals plastered in cheap pompey sweat shirts etc.
Every thing HS and you say!
i do like Dougal post as well!
Funny isn’t it?! Going down, ground falling to bits, crowd ebbing away and skint. HA HA.
Count me in on the "hearty agreement" list
Out of interest, anyone known if Fred Dinenage is still on the PFC board these days? Each time I see another eager Meridian TV report on Pompey's dodgy financial affairs, I can't help wondering what jolly old Fred knows, as he sits there and chuckles away at viewers' snowmen pictures, or stories about dogs from Blandford Forum that bark when Coronation Street comes on.
I’ve always hated Pompey even more than I dislike Palace. I hate the term ‘Pompey’, I hate that tattooed bell cheese who constantly rings that annoying bell. I hate ‘Play up Pompey’ more than I hate that Bright eyes song we sing. I hate their thuggish fans ever since we beat them 1-0 in the cup with that Mathew Edwards header. I even hate that poxy ground and I still hate Micky Quinn. (I think Arry Rednapp is alright though. Never understood the dislike for him).
In fact I couldn’t wish that skint chairman and winding up order on any other club more. It’s excellent fun. What with my number 2 hate club Liverpool cocking this season up royally, I’m beginning to enjoy the Premier League again.
A man after my own heart, I'll never forget those gits for locking me, my dad and my brother in Fratton Park for an hour after we were thumped 5-1 by them in the 80's. They then proceeded to play the entire commentary of the game over the tannoy, it was like torture, Could'nt happen to a nicer club...
I was there too...To make it worse it absolutely pissed down with rain. Afterwards we were showered with light bulbs from the train full of scum on Fratton Station, and then a bus we were on got absolutely trashed as we went through Havant.. bricks thrown through the window and everything. We had to wait an hour for another bus.
I hate them with a passion, but to be honest I don't want them to go out of business..just a long stint in Division 4 and maybe a stint in the conference would just right for them. It shouldn't be a problem for the club, they have the most loyal fans in the football league apparently so they'll still have massive crowds.

Glad I'm not the only one who remembers that day, disagree with the loyal fans quote though, they'll be back to 7 to 8 k crowds very very soon like they did a few years ago.
I was there that day as well. One thing i remember was how loud they were with the blooming pompey chimes. I was only about 15 and i along with my dad, cousin and best mate got a real soaking, and it was cold, it snowed on the way home!
I *think* he was being sarcastic.
Could be wrong though.
