If you can try and get down to the old port in Portsmouth some cracking pubs and nice views of the boats etc ,

45 min walk or grab a taxi , around fratton park you could be anywhere in the country but there is a nice feel sat outside a boozer at the old port especially if the weather is good

For those hell bent on going by train

Spliting tickets at Salisbury will cost £47:00p group save tickets are available meaning three go for the price of two

These services are normally of a two car/three car units variety and there is no buffet car/food outlet on these services

so stock up on yer cheap bottles of coke/crips/chockey bars before you board.

A gurt big Tescos has opened up on the site of the Fratton car park,so stock up for the return trip 

If you reserve seats in advance,we might up with a "football special" as it might tumble the GWR computer to think there are a lot of travellers heading in the Portsmouth direction to bring us back from Portsmouth

Who recalls the football special we had for the FA Cup game?

the departure times from BTM are XX:21 past the hour

for those who might not have been to portsmouth(fratton) before, at the top of the footbridge turn left as there are no ticket gates

onto Goldsmith Avenue and walk up to the ground

The return is at 17:31pm from Fratton

 

This season away games are whole or parts of the journey on GWR trains

Millwall

QPR

Watford

Norwich

ipswich

Cardiff

Swansea

and Southampton

you could include coventry if youwanna travel via didcot/oxford

so a request to apply for a smart card(free of charge) from GWR and your GWR rail journeys can be loaded onto the card as opposed to buying tangerine tickets

... my mate Brunel suggested we add Plymuff to that list.

1-1 Bobby Gould scored in the last minute, a crazy day, 4-1 in the replay, then Wolves away in the next round 0-1, another crazy day ?

Yes the underpass that was my first proper away day apart from Swindon.

And the milk bottle attack

I remember it well, as I went up with a school friend.

We caught the train from Temple Meads after school (changed in the toilets and left our school uniforms in a locker at TM), but were slightly delayed, so missed kick off by a few minutes.

Like many on here, it would seem, we experienced that 'interesting' meeting in the underpass.

A very interesting and enjoyable day, despite the defeat.

i see there are 397 left, assume this mean we have sold 1600? Or have they not all been released yet?

Correct, c.1600 sold….great effort with over a month to go before the game

Shame that railway workers have decided to strike on the day of the game, impacting football supporters once again.
