Jamie Phoenix, loanee. Absolute shocker. Made a couple of performances then got himself sent off.

« on: December 03, 2019, 08:42:59 AM »I wonder if Pompey will take as many to Fleetwood as we took to theirs?Seeing as they took over 600 to Harrogate in the first round on a Monday night, I'd say so.
Easy sell out their allocation. They travel well.

Yeah Fleetwood would have been scant reward, but we'd have taken it and the 2nd round prize money!
Play up Pompey!

« on: December 02, 2019, 01:00:44 PM »Not sure if anyone else bought a program? I did, some interesting pages on Alty, stats on players with goals scored etc. Histrionics of different years the club wen through with success etc. Good value at £2.50 Good little read.I bought one and got a pleasant surprise when he said £2.50 instead of £3.00.A very nice tough having free pizza at halftime as well.A big thanks to Portsmouth for all they did for us.
And cups of tea were only £1 !! (UHT milk though)
£2.30 at York. Bloody fancy Yorkshire prices.

Thank you to the Pompey fans who came on here prior to the game. Came across as a very friendly set, and that was proven in and around the ground.
I particularly enjoyed the comment about Southampton fans 'caring for their ponies'... Macc care for their sheep in much the same way.
Gutted by the last minute but the team and club are so much stronger now than in 2015.
Very proud of Altrincham FC.
(will back Pompey when they're playing Southampton now).

« on: November 29, 2019, 12:16:33 AM »Pompey say 8,000 home fans. I do hope it’s better than that.Unfortunately, home fans don't turn out in numbers for a game against lower opposition for a cup match. We had 680 against Whitley Bay in the Cup last season, and that included a good away support.
Sure they took more to Wembley the other year🤔
A total attendance approaching 9000 is, if anything, a bit more than I was expecting and a decent effort from Portsmouth.
Looking at the second round fixture list the only tie that I can see that may have more people attending is Bristol Rovers v Plymouth because its a West Country derby.
From Altrincham's receipts point of view I think that its the best possible tie you could have got.
I know that we (Pompey) will have been aware that its important to you, pricing of the match at £15 is probably maximising the shared revenue at the expense of another 1000 or so home supporters. (Our leasing.com match against Northampton on Tues is £10).
Our FA Cup second round fixture last year was on a Sunday away to Rochdale and attended by 2500 of which 600 came from Pompey (despite the match being on BT) for context.
I think whoever it was at your club (manager?) raising expectations of a 15 k crowd at this stage was probably a bit optimistic.
You are very welcome at Fratton Park and we will do our best to make a noise! It may not be a state of the art stadium by modern standards but in terms of traditional stadiums its pretty good.
After two visits to the khazi at Bootham crescent Fratton Park will be fantastic.
Bring it on.

Looking forward very much to travelling down to the game this Saturday to see your ground and a great match. I understand from seeing your team on TV that the atmosphere at Pompey is superb. As Alty fans are also noisy it should be a great game with a great atmosphere. The matches of this sort do not come to us very often but I have been to many matches in the FA Cup in my 45 years watching the Robins. This will be no different and I know your team will provide us with a good game and experience for our players. Our team have sprung surprise results in the past and I know we will give you a game.
Just curious to know what is the meaning of the bell played during your games. I have always assumed it is to do with Pompey's naval heritage, but I always heard it during games when you played in the Premiership.
We are a good bunch, very vocal and have a deep love of the game like your good-selves. See you Saturday!
Steve from Sale
That'll be Mr. John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood.

Bloody hell. Impressive.
