spyinthesky Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Away to Havant & Waterlooville on Tues 13th July? Really? Could be interesting If I remember correctly, last time a Saints team played down there (a Reserve team fixture?) one of those nice Pompey supporters set fire to the Saints goalies spare gloves in the back of the goal.

JRM Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 I can see a lot of Pompey fans turning up for this one, surprised the hants police were happy with this fixture might be more hassle than it's worth for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 I'd have thought it would be the reserves again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 lunchtime kick off, behind closed doors might be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordshire_saint Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 lunchtime kick off, behind closed doors might be a good idea. Behind closed doors would be a good idea but lunchtime kickoff doesn't make a difference, it might mean some of them have to get up earlier than usual, but I doubt that'll be a problem for them.

saintsub Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Where did you get the information that we are away to H&W? The club would be nuts to go to there - surely there are other Blue Sq S clubs to play at. Just what we need - a bunch of idiots screaming 'scummer' for 90 mins at our players.

Spudders Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 (edited) all the info is here http://www.havantandwaterlooville.net/news.aspws.asp Ah you beat me to it, was just about to post same link! "Hawks HQ have tonight announced that two heavyweight league names will visit Westleigh Park in July to kick off the 2010/11 pre-season in spectacular fashion. Portsmouth FC will bring a full first team on Saturday 10th July to play their only local friendly before flying out to America the following day for a US tour. The match again seals a deal with Pompey that will see the Championship side play their reserve team matches at Westleigh Park next season. Three days later on Tuesday 13th July, Southampton FC will visit for an evening match, being the League One side’s first return visit for a friendly in seven years. Following this the Hawks are still set to take part in the Joma Challenge Cup in North Devon, the draw for which will take place over the weekend." Have to say I am very surprised we are going there. As mentioned in a post above I bet the local pold won't be too happy. Edited 20 May, 2010 by Spudders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 TBF, by that time H&W may be the number one team in the PO postcode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 As I said earlier, it will be the reserves, or a 'Saints XI'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Why are people going on about pompey going to the US. I can't see any proper reference to this anywhere. Can anybody give me a link for it that isn't just to an unfounded comment on a forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red And White Barmy Army Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 pompey going to america is possibly the funniest thing ever! i knew that none of their chairmen/owners had 2 brain cells but an administrator?! i have a feeling they'll be adding british airways to their list of creditors in the next few days...

the saint in winchester Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 How the f can they afford to jet out for a us tour!? That was my first reaction too. I am wondering if .... if they are being paid a massive fee to go to the U S of A, and that is why Andronikou has signed it off. Revenue earned exceeding cost of going?

Winchester_Saint Posted 20 May, 2010 Share Posted 20 May, 2010 Pompey going on a tour of the US of A is just crazy! That will be a nice treat for all the kiddies before they get battered in the Championship. Hopefully they will fly back to a big points deduction, too, which is what they deserve. Either that or they're running away from all the mess that their club is in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or they're running away from all the mess that their club is in Will it be the kids tho? Andronikou(sp?) has offered new contracts to James, Heriederson, Kanu et al so maybe they will all be back! I can only imagine they will be paying them in buttons!
