I think we have been here before. its alright stadium builders building a 58k space when there was no health and safety issues, and peeps were packed in like sardines, but the reality is that the 50k attendances at FP were maxed out.
But your club has had over 130 yrs to sort a decent sized stadium out in its entire history, but has failed. It must be the punter fault eh? |
But they did in 1950, I've seen the boardroom notes
Chairman, Do you think we should build a 60,000 stadium like them 2 time title winners down the road?
Board, Why bother they never fill it, only average 37,000 when they won the league two years running. We had some home crowds 4-5,000 bigger than them both seasons in the second div.
C. Best hang fire eh? See how it goes?
B. Yeah , bet they only average 8-9,000 crowds in 25-30 years time.
C. What the Pompey massive getting 8-9000 crowds, I'll have a pint of what yous lot been drinking, bet you lot believe in the Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas  |  | |  |

Yep, the fans got together and had a whip round for those charities. You need to differentiate between fans and dodgy owners.
It's a bit similar to Pompey fans saying that Bob Higgins represents your whole fan base. Does he? | |

Probably out Christmas shopping. It was big back then wasn't it. ie only 1 week to go.
Plus, Preston were relegation fodder that season. | |
