Anyone know if fanzones will be open after game to hopefully celebrate & watch the Premiership games?

Northam Fan Zone

Kiosks 20 (Chapel), 35 (Kingsland), 42 & 44 (Northam) will all be open after the final whistle to allow fans to purchase food and drink and remain in the concourse and help our egress from the stadium with the different restrictions in place and home fans not being able to leave via Melbourne Street.

• 2pm - Live music from Calum Lintott

• 3pm - Live music from The Moonrunners

This is the programme from my first Saints v Pompey game. My Dad added the score and then - in a superbly cheeky moment - sent it to Pompeys President (a national wartime hero) and asked him to autograph it, which he kindly did. Another result like that on Sunday would do nicely.

Use one of the city’s pubs instead, so many are struggling after the last few years.

Glad we were wearing our black knickers. Hides a multitude of sins.

I know I'm going to come over as a mealy-mouthed tosser here but I really don't get the hatred. Yes, I want us to win. Yes, I'd be very happy to see Portsmouth relegated. But I don't hate Portsmouth fans for being Portsmouth fans. They, like us, are just supporting their local club. We come from two fairly similar cities on the south coast of England. Both cities have their good and bad points. Coming from one doesn't make you superior over those coming from the other - except for the purposes of a joke. 

Having said all that, I'll no doubt be joining in with "Who are you?" chants when we go two up in Sunday.

‘Fairly similar cities’ is an absolutely mental take. Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to spend any time over there knows they are a terrible breed of human. A decrepit, cesspit of a place.

I wish them and their city nothing but the worst.

Quite enjoy watching this in the build up, plenty of familiar faces feature 👊

 

I’m surprised Eddie didn’t take the camera crew to the game with him to keep him safe.

I don't think so, wasn't the whole build up last year overshadowed by Mr Westwood losing his wig at Romsey Town ?

More interesting and exciting than the actual game was tbf.

Had a dream last night that the final score will be 2-2 with P@$%%y scoring a last kick equaliser! 

Can someone warn Peretz to not parry a weak corner out towards the penalty spot on 90+8 minutes!

Brilliant bit of memorabilia, plus the teams had knickers! 😆

That was so bizarre. Bringing a camera crew along and then thinking it's a win that no one was having a go.

Wonderful memories. Many thanks CanadaSaint ! 

I think that would have been very close to my first home game at the Dell after moving from Pompey to the Waterside with my old Dad who had just come out the Navy. Within a few months the two of us became firm Saints fans.

Is my memory correct.....I am 78 years of age now.....that very soon after that match, Saints signed Tony Knapp from Leicester at centre half, Dave Burnside from WBA in midfield and the magnificent George Kirby from Plymouth who played up front with Georgie O'Brien. I think Tommy Mulgrew lost his place.

So you soon had Terry Paine on the right wing with his skill and trickery and Johnny Sydenham on e left with blistering paice, putting crossses in to the pen area for Kirby to get on the end of and O'Brien to pick up the off loads. 

Also I see that Jimmy Dickenson was still playing in that game for Pompey. I think he was in his late 30's by then.

Greatdays and wonderful memories of watching games at the Dell
