Fantastic thing that. We’re playing in a better league and no one has to pay over the odds for a Championship season ticket. Better football for the same money.
Being in league one just gets better and better.
I’ve seen some great football this season. Some of it by Pompey.
That's all very true - on the bright side, in an unpredictable competitive league, we've got us and most of...
Derby County
Bolton
Sheffield Yesterday
Sunderland
Ipswich
Charlton
and others
Having a fighting chance in that is a lot more gripping than playing for a halfway Premier finish

It was an excellent season, or promised to be - didn't we fall apart a bit after signing Trebilcock to strengthen our promotion push? Those were still the days when the press still talked about Pompey regaining 'its rightful place' in the first division. Don't think anyone would dare refer to us in those terms today.
