Hello Guys
Just registered, after years of following your threads/posts on all matters Pompey. To introduce myself in short, Pompey born more than 80 years ago. Have not resided in Pompey since 1959, due to work, marriage etc. but always check on my team and go see them as often as possible. First game at Fratton Park was back in 1946/47 season. Last visit was in 2019 to see my brothers memorial plaque in the south stand. I have enjoyed reading your posts over the years and, in the current situation I now feel compelled to add my voice to the many who are totally disillusioned with events surrounding the football club we love and have supported over the years.
As we all know being a Pompey fan is never dull. From the super days of Jimmy Dickinson, Duggie Reid, Jack Frogatt, and so many more, followed by the likes of Peter Harris, Len Phillips many more recent class acts. From League Champions in the forty's being relegated to the old division 4, all the way back to the Premier League only for history to repeat itself in our decline and we just managed survival as a club.
It is clear to me that given our status and level of support, we as a big club in league 1 are massively under achieving. This I believe is due to factors that include strange tactics, odd team selections and a lack of desire or having the will to win. The players should be proud to represent Pompey and strain every sinew in search of success. I have no confidence in changes to the above being made this season.
It looks like another season in league 1. Even if we do get to the play offs then I suspect very strange team selection, as before.
There you go guys, I've introduced myself, had my little moan, look forward to joining you in discussions henceforth.
Cheers
