Just wanted to say that you were the best fans we have had at Fratton Park for a number of years. Outsung us in the stands and outplayed us on the pitch. Kept Pitman and Lowe quiet all game and any team that does that nullifies any and all of the threat we have.
You should go up, from what I have seen, better than the other 3 teams occupying the play offs.
Good luck for the rest of the season!

That away end certainly provides for a good atmosphere.
Your local police were top drawer, knew how to talk to the fans and a lot of them had smiles on their faces.
PS. There is a six minute video from the game from a Portsmouth perspective, and the very last shot is a magnificent one of Mr Portsmouth giving it the finger with both hands, awesome image of somebody who has a hotline to loving and supporting their club, I hope he lives forever.
Now, what has changed since then?...
Mike Bailey (our skipper that day), presented him with a silver salver on behalf of all at CAFC to mark the occasion. It took place on the pitch just before kick off.
I would say it was around 1962/63.
Due to the lack of a decent London derby this season Pompey was always going to be the best away day. The importance of last Saturday's game just made it even better.
What a shame after they did so well to get out f league 1 and back into the premier league.
Wettest I've been at a football match until Yeovil.
How times change. Remember in the second half Phil Walker was warming up near us and the Pompey Sailor mascot was also in the vicinity. The Pompey on the side started the N....r chants. Our fans responded with "I'd rather be a N....r than a poof!
