I can remember being at Fratton Park for a game versus Reading which we lost 1-0 and were pathetic.
The whole ground (including a normally passive North Stand Centre Section) chanting “We want Fenwick out, say, we want Fenwick out”.
My American guests (LA Rams fans) were gobsmacked, wouldn’t happen in NFL, the coach would normally be long gone (losing is one thing, being pathetically awful is another).
They joined in and thoroughly enjoyed the ‘soccer’ experience and couldn’t wait to get back to the US to tell their friends about it.
We ended up in the Nell Gwynn which was another unique experience for them: as ever, packed, difficult to get served, toilets disgusting, a truly ‘why the f*ck are we here here’ affair…….my American guests loved it !
Thought it was Pompey life in the raw !
Exactly what's needed to get the tourists in.
