seems mental to me.
certainly mental for that game. I would have thought that Pompey were a shoe in for selling out their tickets. At least pre-sales would give us an idea of how many police we need to provide doughnuts for.
They have every right to be annoyed, this is crazy wi no explanation forthcoming. Pompey have always had a great following ,n sky or not am sure they would sell out the away allocation, Fans who travel so far deserve better than this imho.
If many more travel than the away allocation, the police will have trouble they never imagined, I find it hard to think its anything to do wi them?

Quite right Cashy, unless they are thinking of allowing the Pompy fans the whole of the scatting shed and the Copice end ,that would probably accommodate 2000, the problem then arises if 3000 travel.Stanley are being very short sighted, and probably dangerously so in HMO?
I will be amazed if oer 2000 don't travel Tommy.
I know times have changed, but last time they played Stanley in the Cup Thousands came, and after that when we had No team same thing at Rovers, always brought a large following.Yes Cashy I do hope they know what they are doing, could be a whole lot of trouble in store.
Their average away support last season was 436 across all league games, and ratio to their home support is 7.6%.
Given the time of kick off and live on telly I really can't see over 1,500 dragging themselves out of bed at some ungodly hour and travelling to Accrington, even though they have great support for where the club are now.

perhaps someone connected with the club will enlighten us - Mr T ?
- - - would also be interesting if the match prog reprinted reports on the '59 FA cup game up yon and the replay down south against our 9 fit men, with 'keeper McInnes limping badly on the wing. Dan, is this your area ?
I wouldn't bet on it Dave, many younger fans like to clock up a " New Ground" n should think Stanley will be that fer majority under 60s

And apart from that a boozy weekend in Blackpool in this weather with a trip to a "new ground" may appeal even more
Come on people
Lets be realistic
Lets hope Pompey bring 2,000 or 3,000 or even as much as 4,000
by not restricting them to a certain allocation it will hopefully encourage more of them to come and fill the ground providing our club with much needed funds.
Pompey fans are good natured and rarely cause trouble (unless its Southampton)
The club made a mistake restricting the Everton allocation, they would have sold a lot more but lots of fans did not know you could turn up and pay on the gate in the Stanley end.

You be realistic Davo, if many decide not to travel, cos on the offchance they will NOT gain entry, to one of smallest grounds in league, That would be a ridiculous state of affairs, also would you travel so far, being unsure yeh would gain entry? I know damn well i would not.
