Message to the FAB if they read this

You have until feburary to start pushing for the bubble to be dropped for the skates away, last time you were complicit in ruining what should be the best away in the calendar, how about you put things right this time round?

Like Zamo taught us, just say no

I suspect that it's already been agreed, but hopefully, now that we've got the first meeting for a few years out of the way, people can be trusted to make their own way there.

I'd be interested to know the cost in policing the fixtures with and without a bubble. Maybe someone can submit a FOI request to find out...?

Doubt the FAB have a decisive say in the matter.

When i spoke to the FSA around the time of the lsat fixture they said that it was other clubs FAB's that had got the bubble removed, and cited in particular Newcastle/Sunderland, saying that the fans boards were instrumental in getting their bubble removed.

Sadly our current FAB seem to be wet blankets who are more than happy to roll over and have their belly tickled by the club and police, instead of making the case that a sizeable chunk of the support don't want to be treated like criminals for going to a game.

Also the irony is that more people were arrested for Fratton away last season with the bubble than were in the league cup without it, so even their argument about safety doesn't hold up.

It's been dissolved and applications are now open for the new Phoenix FAB, so you might as well just apply to join and then we can moan at you when you fail to deliver, while you stick you fingers in your ears and enjoy your prawn sandwiches.

FAB tip: It's easier to eat the sandwiches, without your fingers in your ears. 🙂

Boycott it and watch in a pub in Southsea instead.

The vast majority of fans were able to enjoy the derby in safety, we could travel in comfort and enjoy the hospitality inside Fratton Park whilst sampling the South Coast Derby atmosphere in a peace. The only people who feel it was ruined are the drunken thugs wishing to engage in low intelligence verbal jousting, or worse. I applaud the FAB for their hard work and when i am sworn i will make it my mission to ensure more matches are rewarded with the safe,  bubble style transportation our wonderful fanbase deserves.
