There were almost as many Oundle schoolchildren on a North-east field trip here as Portsmouth fans, although nothing could forgive the announcer’s taunt that Pompey’s faithful must have "come in a ******* car’’. He must hope the FA weren’t listening.

Just for posterity, let us record that Setanta announced there were a whole 321 Skates in attendance. If Carlisle stay up and we play them midweek it'll be interesting to see how many we get.

 

Of course, you would also be obliged to relay the facts of the situation

 

Newcastle v Pompey

 

710 mile round trip

£38 Ticket

Live on TV

 

Carlisle v Stains

 

662 mile round trip

Currently £12 per ticket

Live on TV - well, who knows but lets be honest............

 

Good luck with beating the 321;)

I'll go. That's only leaves another 321 to find.

I dunno where you get your mileage from, here's Fratton to St James'

St Mary's to Brunton Park is indeed a 662 mile round trip, quite a lot of which is up the abominable M6. You can always fly to Newcastle of course, which is cheaper than getting the train or petrol if you book early, where's Carlisle International Airport ?

 

And as for "£12 a ticket", it's £10 to watch Eastleigh, but I shouldn't think anything under £30 would put many people off.

 

Maybe we should be comparing past Saints trips to Newcastle instead...?

I'm sorry but I recall that whilst we took 450 to a midweek game at Hull after relegation (me being one of those) your premiership club failed to take that many combined to Boro and Bolton away. I don't know why but the 196 at Boro (not televised and on a Saturday I think) received much mirth in the newspapers.

 

We don't have a lot to shout about at the moment, that's for sure, but we don't need advice from you lot about how to support our team away in bad times.

or Reading it would seem:rolleyes:

You've got to get up earlier to catch me with one of those ;).

 

I remember a couple of midweeks games at Newcastle where we took a few hundred and I'm sure that someone will point out the game that was iced off at the last minute because the poor Geordies couldn't be trusted to walk to the ground without slipping over. Wasn't that on Sky? New Year's Day?

Did anyone else see the game last night? at one point in the 2nd half the camera zoomed in on Shearer's hand and gave a close up of his wedding ring. I'm convinced this was alluding to Mrs Shearer being a Saints fan and the recent speculation. ......... of course my mate who I was watching the game with could've been right when he said "i think they were showing his watch, and the fact time is running out for NUFC" I'll go with my theory.

LOL.

 

You should write a dissertation on the meta-textuality of british sports television cameramen.

 

I saw Brian Laws spit on The Championship the other day and I am pretty sure it was filmed as a satirical comment on the current situation in Rwanda.
