We are now clearly the biggest club on the South Coast.
25 years and a couple of weeks after we played at Pissfield against Shrewsbury in front of 1917 spectators, we’ve got a World Cup Winner on our roster, in the European places on Boxing Day, biggest fan base with regular 30,000 attendances and finally comfortably looking down on all the other coastal clubs.
Whilst our rivals?
Southampton set for a long hard winter.
Bournemouth will do well to finish outside the bottom six.
Portsmouth struggling to get out of Division 3 with a couple of ex PE teachers in charge.
And looking North it’s going to be no cakewalk at Selhurst for the Frenchman.
So for all times we had to endure Palace issuing notice to terminate the rivalry, Mandaric and Redknapp effectively buying the FA Cup and EPL football whilst knowing full well it would ultimately bankrupt Pompey, Saints and Bournemouth giving it large on occasion, perhaps we always knew deep down with a decent owner who actually supports the club, that the cream would always rise to the top eventually?
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year NSC
