Just seen that they finally went down the pan yesterday when Morecambe's 90+3 equaliser means that it is mathematically impossible to reach the play offs.
This means that they have now completed 10 consecutive seasons in the lower two divisions.
Given their resources and crowds that is gross mismanagement |  |

Oh well, at least they'll get their big derby games next season... Derby County that is. |  |

They are in slow decline with their league position and attendances falling again. They are now struggling to even hang on to 9th place. They bring in a different set of players each year either on loan or short contracts so they don't have to pay wages over the summer, which means they can never really develop a team, as if any of their players perform well, they either go back to their parent clubs or find themselves long-term contracts at other League One clubs. Next season will be their 23rd in the bottom 2 divisions.
Little Pompey are nowhere near one of the 3 biggest clubs in League One though and you wouldn't expect them to finish ahead of the likes of Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich. So, they are about where you'd expect a club of their size to be:

That's hilarious. I see they not only doctor the numbers for their attendances but also for the years they've spent in the lower divisions. | |

In my life they've only been in the top flight for 8 seasons in total, and that's over a more than 40 year period.
In comparison we've been in the top flight for 35 seasons, Brighton for 8 seasons and little old bournemouth for 4.
They're a f*cking minnow in the game and have been for 40+ years at the least, probably longer if we're honest. |  | | |

“Natural level” is the term I believe is fairly regularly used by Monsieur Cent Trente.
I hope he doesn’t suffer any more extended internet outages. |  |

On another note, Cowley must be under a bit of pressure.
Especially with them being such a huge club and all that, not to mention their shiny new blue seats in the mega fire-hazards that are their North and South Stands. | |

Well said.
They are good at thinking they are a big club. Not that anybody listens anymore. |  | | |

I love the waythey blame “the Nazis” for interrupting their imperious reign in the top tier. Usually those fvckers thank them for letting them “hold the FA cup the longest”.
You couldn’tt make it up - What an utter bunch of fecktards. |  |

What an absolute joke of an article - the sort of stuff that 130 writes on here.
They dwell so much on the past glories in an attempt to blur the facts about their current position. You can see where 130 gets his crap from.
The bottom line is that unless you are older than 63, you will not have witnessed the skates in the top flight for more than 8 seasons. FACT !!
Because they have been in L1 and rather embarrassingly L2 for the last 10 Seasons, the kids are no longer interested in their local team and that is why I see so many 'other team' shirts when on the rare occasions I go to GunWharf Quays. Kids supports Arsenal / Chelsea etc and Pompey are their second team !!
They really are not anywhere near the size they think or say they are and have found their level.
Social Distancing once again - 2 Leagues Apart !!
.....but of course they are not ready to go up yet, but it will be their year next year. Just remember that it was 10 years ago this summer when they said We'd be changing places 3 years from now !! :-) |  |

They also managed to scab through to a cup semi while being the only premier league team in the round for the first time in 100 years.
Like you said Tim, kids in that area aren’t bothered about their local team any more, it’s just the drooling old fat boys who used to attack youth clubs and disabled sections in the 1980s and early 90s that think they are still something special as a club. | |

They are a biggish club in third division, but no more than that.
In fact their current position is a fair reflection of a good season for them. | | | |
| Portsmouth Promotion Hopes on 19:23 - Apr 21 with 2145 views | Centurion |
I read the above. So 6th biggest on attendance. | | | |

And either because their away support is not very good or because they are not considered much of an attraction, or both, only 12th biggest in away attendances (between Lincoln City and Accrington Stanley).
The big clubs, Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich, are at the top of both the home and away attendances. [Post edited 22 Apr 2022 10:12]

You'd have thought the home stands would be packed for 'their cup final' for the big hitters of the third and fourth division? | | | |

I’m clearly being stupid as I can’t figure out how the away support figures work. As in, what does the 9,930 figure against the skates mean? | |

The average attendance when Portsmouth play away from home .
To be fair this will rise as Portsmouth play Sheffield Wednesday away so an attendance of 20000 odd will push this up . | | | |

Basically, the biggest clubs get the biggest away attendances because they have the biggest away followings and they are also the biggest attraction for the home supporters. Little Pompey are between Lincoln City and Accrington Stanley. | |

My home team and sometime Portsmouth bogey side Gillingham are there today.
My neighbour is a big Pompey fan. Not talking to me this morning, let's hope he blanks me again tonight. | | | |

Has he not told you that next season will definitely be 'their' season? | | | |
