I know you didn’t intend it with your post, Hammie but your post really depressed me. Makes me think we’re losing our identity.
trouble is the identity of Pompey varies so much as to when you first started going. We've been up and down the leagues more than any other club. Gone bust more than any other too.
My earliest memory of Pompey fans is seeing them traipsing home across Milton Park, all looking completely pissed off on yet another grey rainy winter afternoon. That would be around 1975/6 when we were a very very poor 2nd tier team.
So any advance on that and not going bust is a good thing.
I knew all the stats off by heart through reading the results etc in the Sunday paper and Sports Mail. My subbuteo team was Pompey through and through so I even supported Raith Rovers for a while too.
Identity wise. Sing the bloody Chimes and "We are the Fratton End" That's the identity I know and love! Regardless of the team, result or performance!
