That first season in league one not knowing if we were going to become AFC Portsmouth in the southern premier before the PST takeover and those first two seasons in league 2 stand out as particular low points. Getting dumped out of the FA Cup by Aldershot. The Richie Barker reign generally. Guy and Andy are Pompey icons but weren't what we needed as managers. The tail end of the Jackett and Cowley reigns were grim too with that feeling we might be League One forever especially when we appointed some Oxford United defender as our gaffer. Whatever happened to him? There gave been good times too of course. That league 2 title win on the last day of the season with a team that I think has only just been surpassed this season. The Wembley win over Sunderland too.
I hope the fans who were kids back in the darkest days will be one day watching Premier League Pompey and telling their kids about going to Bootham Crescent to watch us get smashed 4-2 by York City
