As Mrs C and I arrived for the game, they were announcing Pompey's "Player of the Season" awards - voted on by members of their various supporters' clubs from many strange parts of the planet. There must have been a dozen at least, though if there was an Accrington one I missed it
, and Matt Clarke won them all
. Once it became obvious what was going on, each award was greeted with increasingly raucous enthusiasm from the away end (corner
) …. perhaps in the end he'd rather Pompey had won the match though
.
