HoldenBall Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Portsmouth won the FA cup only 12 years ago. They are a much bigger club than us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't worry, once the pandemic is over, they will easily fill their shiny new 20000 seater stadium.

Like I said, despite what some of them post on a public forum knowing full well that the thread has been noticed by us, there are definitely, 100% Gasheads out there who think exactly the same as the OP on that thread. We get called deluded by them on a regular basis but I can hand on heart say that I hear far more Gasheads claiming their club is a big club than I do City fans saying it. Shh!

Ska Junkie Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Jeez, you can tell normal service is resumed. City win, scum lose and then they come up with that load of bollocks. I've read some shite from them but this has to be a wind up, no sane person would post drivel like that unless they were looking for a bite surely.. Not far off West ham? Good god! Just the multiple FA cups, European campaigns, multiple internationals, mega stadium and the 47000 extra fans to find then.

wendyredredrobin Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 I always saw Pompey as a similar sized club to ours. I guess it depends how you measure size. If the Sags reckon they are bigger than Pompey, then they must be bigger than us. How are they measuring size? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 4 hours ago, OneCity said: Absolute delusion! Portsmouth have won the League twice; won the FA Cup twice, and the League Cup; they were in the top flight (old division one), from 1927 until 1959. That's 32 consecutive seasons. Their highest home attendance is 51k Bigger than Portsmouth... It depends on how you measure things. Rovers play at the Memorial Stadium which was built in 1920/21 on a patch of ground called Buffalo Bill’s Field. The location was named after Colonel William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, whose Wild West Show had proven popular there in 1891. Did Buffalo Bill every perform at Fratton Park? NO - because Buffalo Bill knew that Portsmouth was always going to be a small club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger than Pompey, Wigan and Hull City! Remind me, when was the last time the sags were in a FA Cup final? (The Watney Cup doesn't count) Remind me, when were the sags last in the Premier League? Jeez, talk about being deluded. They are a joke of a club and they ought to recognise that they are a but a small and insignificant fish in a big sea, a lower league minnow. Too much fake fanta and self flagellation to babestation has rotted the few brain cells a moron posesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at clubs like Swansea,Cardiff, Reading, Rotherham,Bournemouth, Huddersfield,Stoke and others.All have been mostly played in the bottom two levels and never filling there old grounds 10/15 years ago and before spending time in the top flight ( apart from Rotherham that is) all were on the same level crowd wise as us and smaller clubs. At the moment (pre C19) at the Mem- we would average anywhere between 8k- 9k during a standard mid table season, and 10k plus during a decent season.People forget how awlful the MEM is for any fan of football unless you are in an expensive Box in the west stand. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 They average a tad over 6 IIRC, We average over 21,000 and we aren't bigger than the clubs mentioned. As for the West Ham thing, yeah right. We know what we are a club that aspire, they are a pitiful support and club built on lies and utter delusion. Let's talk reality, they wouldn't stand a choc ice in hells chance at our level let alone the one above. I bet they think they're bigger than the Blades and Southampton because those clubs have been at the same level they are currently at?

Amazingly there's one thing the gas have over Oxford and that is a 4 sided stadium. But I agree I'd say Oxford are a bigger club. In terms of league one I'd say rovers are on equal footing or a bigger club then Accrington, Crewe, Rochdale, Lincoln, Shrewsbury and Burton Albion.

Even Shrewsbury and Burton Albion, who have not achieved much over the years, have modern grounds. They were built 15 and 13 years ago respectively, but Rovers new stadium is still just talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
