    Well that's just effin' marvellous. The only time Pompey ever win 10-0 and it's against my home town team. I reckons the camera is facing north up towards Cosham? All those fields would have been built on a few years later in the early 1900s.

    Brilliant pic Lee - have sent it on to a few interested parties around the world and on the IoW.

    Some pretty strange pitch markings and the ref looks less than interested. Some things don't change.

    Bit of a discussion on twitter if it is fratton park as it might be a friendly played at Ryde a few days earlier, will let you know if there's a confirmed answer.
