Pompey up next - fond memories

[Happy_Layabout]

Worked down Portsmouth between '83 and '86. Best memories in no particular order.

Met the current Mrs Layabout.
Portsmouth Sunday League on the perfectly named Farlington Marshes
Saturday afternoons watching a game (at Fratton) and not caring who won

Callum Davenports cross for Kenyan Jones to score is what of the best passes I've seen by a Sunderland player

f***ing Anton though. What a stressy and frustrating game that was.

My first game watching the Lads was at Fratton Park 1958 , Ernie Taylor was playing for Sunderland.

I can remember a 4-1 victory at Roker both were challenging for promotion

Weren’t we fighting relegation?

 

[redandwhiterob]

Didn't we beat them 3-2 in the final league game of the 89/90 season?

 

[Botchie]

Not usually a great place for us to go. However I reckon we might be just playing them at the right time.

One of our fans confronting Kelvin Davis.....not Fratton but Pompey anyways

 

[Paolo's Right Hand]

Must win.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

Must win.

Must not lose

A Joe Bolton beauty in a 2-0 win in the 75/76 promotion season, we were already up and they were already down.

We beat them at home in 93? It was about 4th last game of the season. They were going for promotion and fucked it up. We finished 4th bottom. They filled the Roker end that day.

Loads. The 4-1 at Fratton when I was sitting next to that smug twat Fred Dinenage was a particular highlight.

The 4-1 at Roker in 1993 anarl. What a weekend that was.

Did the OP ever play at Great Salterns? Pitches that were about 35 yards wide and about 70 yards long.

They had 2 men sent off.

Was that not Oldham

 

[Reiver]

After the Meyler red card game the lads dropped me off at Heathrow for my flight back to Nice.

Everything was closed and my flight was 7.30 the next morning ...

.... possibly the worst night of my life

Sure we lost it and therefore confirmed we would play the mags in play offs
