Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Seeing as nobody likes starting them early anymore........

Anyone making the long trip down the M6 for this???

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Did think about it when the fixtures came out, but coming up for the Wycombe game week after, plus Yeovil if it's on Tuesday and not Wednesday.

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

God willing i'm going.

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

No, I'll be walking just under a mile to get there :D

For those looking at a street map:

On-street parking can usually be found in the residential streets south of the stadium, most likely south of Devonshire Avenue. Away fans welcome in the Shepherds Crook (corner of Goldsmith Avenue and Winter Road, 200 yds from turnstiles) before but not after the game. Best to get tickets from the box office in Frogmore Road before going to the pub - turnstiles are unmanned, operated by barcode on ticket.

Other halves will enjoy Gunwharf shopping centre, close by Portsmouth Harbour station :hidewall:.

Hope to see a few of you there - it'll need at least 50 to out sing the 15000 Pompeyites. Wonder if Peter Marsden will cover the half-time spend at the snack bar again this year?

:alright:

5:59 choo choo from Accy for me. :)

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Me and Emma are coming from Southampton - with luck we'll be bringing another couple of possible converts as well. Can't wait!

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

After tonight's FA draw, I wonder if Professor Coleman will make a few changes? If he does I'd hope the 8 outfield players (I exclude McGuire and O'Sullivan) are told they are playing for a place in the next two cup games.

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Don't think the players will need any motivation on Saturday,just hope they keep focused and then on Saturday night,switch on to the replay.

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

I hope we rest the entire squad and play the under 18s.

A win on Tuesday could set up the club financially for a year or two.

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Obviously you're not planning to go to the Pompey game, then, Davo?

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Won't be surprised to see the likes of Messrs Simpson, Hunt, Roddan, Barry, Gray, Carver and Windass making a start on Saturday, but will await Professor Coleman's selection with interest.
I hope to be joined at Fratton Park by a work colleague (good chap if you forgive him his Arsenal fetish) and, in the absence of Div3 North's predictions, the Voodoo Gods of Football require me to point out that, after previous visits to Swindon, Aldershot, and Pompey, he's yet to see Stanley score! :eek:

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Don't be taking your mate to Yeovil then.

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Don't worry. He's been told, but he extracted a high price. :eek:

Re: Pompey Match Thread...........
 

Windass deserves to start after his display on Saturday and hopefully Carver...I can see what Coley sees in Crooks but IMHO he's missed a dozen chances that Coley would have scored in his heyday,maybe persevering will pay off but we can't afford to miss chances at Yeovil if we want to meet United in the next round.

I notice from bbc pre-game stuff that Pompey's top scorer Jed Wallace serves a one match suspension - ain't that a shame :D
