1. It caused much mirth before the game, when one fella was soaked down his back because he had taped a Capri Sun pouch full of Whiskey to his back and he had leant on it and it had burst
2. Didnt seem that much in the way of catering at St Mary's the Dell bar was open, but ir was far from full at 8am
3. I'm not sure that safe standing areas are that safe, when we scored there were people standing on the seats on the bars and flying down the rows
4. The atmosphere wasn't that great, I think they are first and foremost haters of Southampton than supporters of Portsmouth fc
5. As above they dont make much noise for a stadium packed with 50,000 home fans |  |

1. Bubble well organised not sure why we had to get aboard so early though , some bloke who went didn’t board until about 5 mins before we left.
2. Rubbish facilities at Fratton but there was plenty of time to have a few beers before the game.
3. I thought the atmosphere was good but not Outstanding.
4.Both sides gave it their all i thought so that’s last two games we’ve given everthing so you cant knock Eckert for lack of effort.
5. Surprised nobody has mentioned the smashed up seats and wrecked toilets in our end. Not great |  |

5 things about watching it on my couch :-)
1) no early queuing to get into my lounge, beer and snacks allowed but don’t spill it on the bloody carpet.
2) Sky decided to hide the game behind the red button and show a woman’s game watched by 2 birds and their dog.
3) half time slash in toilets that were not trashed.
4) 2 kids tried to invade the lounge in the 2nd half and were swiftly dealt with.
5) mid afternoon nap when it was all over.
Well done to all those that went and put on some decent support |  |

1. The bubble was f*cking awful, stupidly early start, disorganised when we got there, no toilet on the bust, and our bus had more people allocated to it than seats. Plus given there was the same number of arrests yesterday as there was without it i don't see how it can be justified in the future.
2. Tense game we probably should've won it but can't finish and can't defend when it matters.
3. Given all the "hatred" we're told about that was one of the most timid Fratton crowds i've ever seen
4. Their fans along the road in smiling and waving at the buses was really strange, seemed like they were welcoming us into hayling island
5. The lad stood in a saints top just up from the good companion pub on the way back was funny, plenty of blue few around him too and he wasn't getting any abuse |  | | |

1- Pathetic (as ususal, i never learn) sausage bap from the Northam concourse before we left on the coach.
2- Coaches not in number order on Britannia Road, i was walking around like someone in the first scene of Saving Private Ryan :)
3 - Best chant of the day "Where's your famous atmosphere" The knuckle draggers did'nt like that one.
4 - That concourse at Fratton was woeful, £5 something a pint was ok though.
5 - Had a good shower when i got home, dirty mockneys. |  | | |

Watched on the big screen with my lad and his mates down the Northam fanzone.
It was pretty packed , 8 quid a ticket but you got a pie and a pint for " free" .
Good atmosphere, a band, Mark Dennis geeing up the crowd.
Beer thrown everywhere when we scored.
A fun day , disappointing result but team show some spirit. | | | |

Was apparently in the row behind Matt Teale of Meridian TV. I can only apologise for some fruity language that may have emanated from me if he reads this forum.
Refused to purchase anything from that lot so stayed at my seat all pre game and half time. My son had pre match and halftime pints and said getting served wasn’t too bad. I was surprised as it was carnage trying to get to my block once inside.
It really is a crap hole, I can only think back to the last time I’d visited a stadium that was worse than that,was actually back in 2004 for our trip there 3 visits previously before they put a roof on the slum. I suppose they’ve proved it possible you can polish a turd
As much as a pain in the hole the buses were pre match I actually thought walking out of the ground and getting taken straight back really appealed to my lazy natured side
Hope the ball boy who appeared to be injured by the flashbang thing was ok. Idiotic whoever threw that (sure it was them but have read claims it came from our side) |  |

1) Annoying that we all received emails telling us we had to board the coach an hour before departure. There was no need for that, and we ended up having to wander around for half an hour, as we didn't need to be on the coach that early. When we did all board the coach, we still waited around. Despite saying we had to sit down in the unlicensed areas, nobody did and it wasn't enforced.
2) The atmosphere I thought was very loud at times. I was right next to the Pompey support and there was a lot of "hateful exchanges". It was hostile, in that our players were spat at and pulled around whenever they took a throw in. Were the Pompey players spat at, and pulled about when they came to St Mary's?
3) It was a hateful, hostile place. The two pitch invaders were full of hate for us, when we were one nil up. The Pompey fans were getting more and more angry until they equalised. One of our fans threw some crutches at him, and it hit the ball boy instead.
4) At the end seats were being ripped out and thrown in both directions.The toilets were smashed up.
5) The game had a derby feel to it, players squaring up to each other and both teams desperate not to lose. I really enjoyed it. A proper derby that should have been shown on Sky Sports main channel rather than the woman's game. [Post edited 26 Jan 18:33]

Ridiculous number of dibble stood around on pavements doing fcuk all.
Very excessive numbers of police who travelled from all over the country.
Around the ground I get it, but there were far more around the outskirts than were surely needed.
I suspect the bubble is here to stay though. |  |

As you say, if you have the bubble, there really isn't a need to have quite so many officers standing around outside. | |
