I thnk they sold small patches of the pitch to fans so that they couldn't develop it. Whether they registered the ownership of these small pieces is another thing

if you were the manager and had the responsibility of all that goes with it you may be a bit more cautious. It is easy to go for it when you do not have to feel the repercussions. If we go down by 2 points then you may have a valid point

the excitement as a kid of looking through a programme is something lost to modern generations, also Shoot and Goal magazine, where you hoped that there might be a picture of your hero of the time, Ron Davies, or Mick Channon. Now you might get a spotty kid giving you a run down of a player hes describing. Yes the old codgers will die out, but at least they will have had the thrill of growing up with such pleasures. You can have your vlogs etc

Hey Hatch great minds think alike, yours is better than mine of course lol. Whilst I don't always get a programme it is a tad sad this tradition is looking to be near its end,we all can view Vlogs

Amazing how great minds think alike, Hatch has just put up a thread the same subject. Mods may as well delete one of these threads. Mine was 2 minutes earlier lol

Whilst not pertinent to us yet, I heard on 5Live that the72 clubs in the EFL don't have to produce a matchday programme next season. Sad day if this comes to pass. Perhaps it will only be a disappointment to the older fan, as the young are happy to watch vlogs

surely they are breaking the covenant every Saturday afternoon lol

Fair point. I wasn't a fan of Hughes coming here, but seeing the players and him showing a great togetherness may my heart sing

So if we stay up you will still get £1200!!! What odds did you get for that. I don't do betting so don't really understand how this will work

I think for 40 years there has been talk of Pompey coming down to join other fans against us. To my knowledge it has never happened. At Dellhurst park they were going to turn up, and of course didn't although there was 1 of them at the ticket office waiting for his mates, who never turned up lol

If we had opened up against Leicester and lost to a late goal, we would basically be out of it now. Lets hope that the point at Leicester is crucial at the end of the season

How can you guarantee a £1200 pay out if we stay up?

I still find it a bit creepy seeing the female manikin chained by the neck to the scaffolding pole in the Pompey shirt.

listening to Tadic it seems to me training under MP was dire, and he likes the team being fitter. Many mentioned how unfit we seemed earlier in the season, hence so many late goals conceded

if you think Redmond shouldn't play again perhaps its best you are a long way away. He may not have been brilliant, but his touch for our first goal was superb. Sadly fools who miss the good he does is why we don't create sweet FA much of the time

I don't think they were the worst team to visit SMS this season. We have been most of the time

Yep Mack is the one who at least comes across and shows some stick. There again, he nearly dropped his guard and showed a bit of the dark side. I'm sorry Mack that your lot have failed in the rise to glory but I would say I'm a tad pleased

Stephens does not deserve to come straight back in, he was unprofessional against Arsenal Good to see Redmond in as far as I'm concerned he could be the flux to get us going again

The pitch was probably too dry. We really need Chelsea to turn up against Swansea, I can see them not bothering today

The FA cup has been diminished for years now, and add to the semi final being played there just makes the really big day of the final not so special.

or being cynical,his parents being OK magazine etc for years as C celebs

OMG, the state of the pitch!!!

Where's the audit, that would be a good read

Are you Jeremy who phones into BBC5 live post match phone in?

that's a relief
