I believe we do, uniquely, have the potential, wider, catchment area to produce youngsters possessing the ability for a career at the top end of the professional game.
How did we manage all those years ago to produce players like Anderton, Awford, Foster ? Did we have ANY suitable facilities at that time ?
It WOULD appear possible to bring such players through the system, and I have not given up hope that we shall see its worth in future years .
As for our ground, well its not a toilet bowl - or only half an IKEA flat pack - with no top tiers, ( even MK Dons is more attractive) .
AS for Fratton, it is recognised nationwide by proper fans, as REAL.
