6000 before the Tuesday Pompey Paul - that's not bad, but lets hope the win gets a late surge of tickets - we need the money!!
Bit inconvenient that, having been very hit and miss this season, you seem to have come into a hot streak of form and are scoring for fun!
Still, we have some great players and a good team spirit so we will compete, and we will give you a run for your money - I don't believe Harrogate are better than us, and you only just turned them over.
You will find that our fans are noisy and passionate, but entirely good natured. We have great core support and of around 1000 and a high proportion of fans that regularly go to away matches - we are as passionate and committed as any league fans, and our club has a history and traditions that we are very proud of. Our closest rivals geographically probably Stockport - but it is a pretty friendly rivalry and there is no real needle between us - however we hate and are hated by Macclesfield Town, and the enmity survived years and years of being in different leagues and not playing each other - while I won't say it is as fierce as Pompey and Southampton - not sure that is possible - it is a proper, serious rivalry that goes back at least to the 1960s.
Any kind of result at Fratton Park will rub their noses in it, so with due respect we hope you have an off day, as if you thrash us we will never hear the last of it from them!
Thanks for all your helpful posts and let's hope its a great football experience for everyone on Saturday
