Portsmouth Post Match Thoughts

[millertop]

You've a point there but I thought the premise regarding the reduced capacity was to reduce congestion on Don Street at the end of the match.

So why add 400 to the attendance when that 400 could be accommodated at a later game, after the bridge works finish and at a game when there will be fewer travelling fans than a club like Portsmouth?

They probably gave tickets out before this health and safety came through due to being behind, should’ve all been done and dusted in October

Which one ?

Brain.

I didn't think yesterday was a planned reduced attendance.
It did have under capacity because pompey brought 1200 instead of the 2500 or so that Sunderland will bring so there's the reduced numbers we needed
So more home fans were allowed in including the 400 gratuity tickets

As others have said why the Sunderland fans can't be kept behind is baffling. I once asked an Police Inspector this question outside the ground when we beat Donk 2-1 and he said it affected civil liberties. Roughly translated as we don't want the hassle and it's an easier life for us even though we still get the overtime

Apologies if it's already been mentioned but why did Warney (on Radio Sheffield) let it slip that Viking was injured. Why let Wycombe know now rather than on Tuesday when team sheets are released ?

Double bluff ?

Because the safety advisory deemed it would be safe up to 10,600 and there was 1k less than that at the match !

Yes he does that a lot.
Big injury problems and then miraculously they all play.
with the squad we have I'm not too concerned even if it's true

[MillersTime]

I would't worry too much Bramley, if we have to call on Vickers,he looks a capable deputy.

Agree. Very solid deputy who wouldn't worry me coming in whatsoever.
