Pompey up next - fond memories

[JERUDONG No.10]

I can literally throw a stone against side of jolly sailor from my lounge. Not a cosy pub. Bit of a touristy pub. Remember mucky duck. Lived near the festing. Good city for random pubs

I’ve got an apartment in Old Portsmouth now. Used to live on Elm Grove and then had a pad in Gunwharf. I got lashed up in Gunwharf on Wednesday at a works do and got the last train to my Mrs and kids in Smogland...had to carry a coffin the next day. She wasn’t impressed

Need to improve massively on today.

They have lost more games and scored less goals, despite playing two more games. People said similar about Barnsley. We aren't playing Man City.

Used to live 2 minute walk from there. Moved two weeks ago. Next to jolly sailor. Nice pub but a fiver a pint!

They go for the quality aspect. My mate part owns it, he used to have the Leopold.

Paul Walsh was one remember him kicking the physios bucket on way off

Butters anarl wasn't it?

Leopold is a great pub. Cheap beer. Lots of screens. Two landladys you wouldn't mess with

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

We weren't.

They needed to win to go up, we beat them 4-1 which pretty much managed to keep us up as we lost the two games after.

Love Pompey marra, been going down there since I was a baby in arms, uncle ex Navy. Married a Pompey girl....didn't last long! Lived in Buckland, Cosham and North End. Local used to be The Clarence and Thatched House. Clarence was a f***ing great boozer but some reet dodgy lads used to get in there, same lot that used to drink in the Mother Shipton

lived in Cosham when I first went down there. Remember the Railway pub not much else

That’s right , corner flag was a couple of yards too the box, changing rooms were a barn

must've been 12 pitches there - crammed in next to each other

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

And what a run!

Played at Great Salterns for my University side, there were 1, possibly 2 full sized pitches, the rest were suited to midget football. Fond memories of the Sailing Centre where the temperature never felt higher than -10 and it always blew an absolute gale.

Used to live up there and my sister lives just off Allaway Ave. It’s a massive shithole.

Was injured and went up to watch. We had a little scottish winger who was unstoppable, until one of the crowd took him out!

I played on the Hampshire league pitch up there a couple of times. Probably the worst I ever played on at that level. Kids on the sidelines were scummy little bastards anarl.

Jolly Sailor, another great pub. Used to be another one, about 200 yards from there, heading east. Massive boozer, right opposite the common. Pretty sure its not there now (may be flats) but cannot remember its name. You remember the Horseshoe, Festing and in the city, Mighty Fine, Park Tavern, Mucky Duck and many more

Used to live in Pompey, Telephone Road. Lovely house, moved to Kent now. One of the best pubs in Pompey was the Pickwick, so many shady characters in there! Also loved the Fawcett Inn, many a good band on and some ok beer. Last time I was in Pompey it had all become overpriced and somewhat gentrified near Albert road, lost a lot of the charm that made me reminisce about being back home.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

when was that?

1992-1994 ish.

Few years after me - knew a few lads at that Hampshire League Level, but not me. Steve Stutchbury was a great player and had also played County Cricket with Yorkshire.

Everyone welcome up the Pompey PO club next week anyway. Ran by a MLF, food put on by myself and a free jukebox. Open officially from 11 but if you ring the buzzer at 10 we won't turn you away.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Huge game and really looking forward to it.

Is it a sell out?

 

[hardlife]

Big game, we'll see what our lads are made of from this one.
