It won't really show for some time yet but the day will arrive when they can't sell seats as the current kids will have found other things to do on a wet Saturday.
As for accessibility - are you really that naive as to not know about the loss of parking around FP, the amount of new buildings in the area and the egress restrictions for those who don't want to hang around crowded boozers until Fratton station has cleared?
Pompey is a crowded island, people who decide to drive into it on match days have to take the consequences don’t they? I lived on the island most of my life and used to walk to the game, now I get the train and walk, I would need my head testing if I drove in. Wasting all that time looking up the tailpipe of the immobile car in front ffs.
If you walk on down to the town station you can avoid the crowds by the way and get a seat before the train gets to Fratton.
As for the crowded boozers, surely that’s a good thing. Apart from anything else it puts money into the local economy.
I agree about the kids but the club do make efforts in that direction. It is the government, not the club that have banned terraces, they are the ones who need to be given the grief, not the club.
