Portsmouth FC

Pro at my Club is a season ticket holder. Pompey get fantastic support, and the fans deserve a lot better than what has happened over the last five years.

This.

Wouldn't you want them to do well so you can have a premiership derby some day? If we stay up, I hope Brighton come up. I appreciate that allot of less thoughtful Palace fans would disagree.....

Only one person to blame for Portsmouths problems -

Bled the club dry and never recovered from it

December 2nd 2012 was glorious. 1 up and them down to 10 - after 10 minutes! Although I got caught in an altercation before the game when one Brighton fan started throwing vegetables at me. Them carrots are real deadly!

He should have taken them out of the tin!

I have to disagree, and thats not just down to local rivalry. None of their so called fantastic support were in the slightest bit worried when they were clearly spending way way over their budget (courtesy of Mr Redknapp). the alarm bells didn't start ringing when they were taken over by the son of a convicted arms dealer, but it was OK as he passed the so called Fit and Proper Persons Test. They were all quite happy to buy an FA Cup with players they could never hope to afford to pay. They were all more than happy when their team of global unpaid superstars beat our league 1 team. They didn't even seem that worried when they managed to attract the only skint Arab in the world. Sadly several small businesses have been put under due to the club not paying what they were owed, they even used money set aside for a charity to pay someones wages. People who worked at the club went unpaid for weeks before finally losing their jobs, on the back of false promises. They owe the taxman millions, any other business would have been wound up, three times, but for some reason they are immune.
And yet still if you read their message boards, or talk to their supporters, they still don't get it. They bleat on about how they are a big club and shouldn't be in this position, how they should sign so and so, who in reality would never even contemplate going to league 2, and they couldn't hope to afford (groundhog day?) . In my opinion they are getting exactly what they deserve, and as much as I would love another derby and the chance to humiliate them this slow painful demise I think is karma at its best.

I wouldn't like to comment on how a club spends its money, but much like you (I assume) the Pompey fans have zero control over how well or otherwise their club is run. The fans deserve better IMO.

i dont want want them to fold completely as I like the idea of a cup game. But even within a few years of both being on ore. Together the derby felt less special. Plus the vitriol they sent our way when we were in trouble whilst they basked in stolen glory makes this even sweeter. All this about their support makes me chuckle too. They have about 8k hardcore just seems more in a tiny stadium, they couldn't even fill 15k in Prem when they struggled.
