Hampshire Red Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 He must be a happy man based on crowds returning, the prospect of 2500 Pompey fans turning up tomorrow (this is not a post about our away support north of the Midlands!). We know the stadium is good, we have enjoyed going there recently, we know how good their coach is and the owner appears to be doing a good job. Fact remains they have been 4 years in a lower league than us!!

Pugofwar Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Yeah he won't be too bothered about anything to do with Sunderland I'd guess. The club has also been sold on again since he departed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re underestimating how much extra the Roker roar is worth to them. Not many expected them to beat Leeds in the final and it certainly seems to have given them some real momentum to take into this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the fact that Ellis Short sold Sunderland a few years ago and, in any event, the match is being played at Fratton Park - Portsmouth's home ground - this is a pretty insightful post. Ah, I see I am not the only one to have noticed some 'inaccuracies' in this post.... Edited October 1, 2021 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
