Can't stand the phrase Robins HPC These are more training games than old style pre season friendlies. I'm sure last season we played 3 halfs in one game and changed the entire team. Its no longer for the benefit of the supporters. If it gives us an edge then I'm okay with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unduly money grabbing as there's virtually zero cost to BCFC to stage these games - free for loyal season ticket holders would have been nice. I've dumped most of my expiring reward points on these. I suppose it was better than joining more of the shirt (maybe remove the r) draws. They could at least sell them as a package! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mum was from porchester(near pompey) and my Dad was from Plymouth.They met in Southampton so I don’t mind all 3 clubs really.I have met pompey lads at England games and on Shem tours when we played football against them in the morning (at my mums old school) before going to Fratton Park.(early 90’s)I would like to think I played like Alex Scott. I don’t think they like the Saints that much either Red-Robbo. My Dad worked at Rediffusion in Southampton before moving up here to gods own country and his best mate (uncle tom) helped out in the dressing room ,running the bath and putting the kit out.When the Saints won the cup in 1976 he gave a signed football of all the squad to my Dad for me and brother.Basically me and my brother took it out into the road and the autographs went! However in 1976 better happened! Plus I was only 6. coyr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Dyer with a south west twang Mush There is a Hampshire accent that you sometimes hear in old codgers and people living on the estates who never leave Soton, but TBH most of the city has that sort of indeterminate south-east/London non-accent. The same as the rest of Hampshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "non-accent" seems to infect everywhere south of Birmingham - and it'll spread north too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hampshire's accent is what I would call 'fake cockney'. Salisbury and South Wiltshire are very much like this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Might go to Pompey, not been since about 99. But unimpressed with the friendlies so far, might have to look for a game elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Can’t go Portsmouth as on holiday, so glad they’ve announced the Cheltenham game, always like to goto 1 friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
