It is now nine months and 35 games in all competitions since Ipswich last failed to score in a match - having been promoted, 20 of those games have come this season including cup fixtures against PL Wolves and Fulham.

When did Bonne leave?
Bonne left Ipswich in May '22 and that run started in Feb '23
There is the political usage of GB which includes all the islands but I think it makes more sense to use the geographical rather than political sense in this situation
Portsmouth is the only Football League / Premier League ground that isn't ON Great Britain. Portsea Island is an island off the coast of Great Britain (the geographic entity, not to be confused with the political entity of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which Portsea Island is IN).

Of course it is. Portsmouth is on Portsea Island, which is an island off the south cost of the geographic entity of Great Britain. Canary Wharf is in London…(and it’s not a football ground…)

So, what is the criteria ? Has to have “island” somewhere in the geographical description ?
The Isle of Dogs doesn’t qualify, but does Canvey or Sheppey (both have footy teams) ?
How have I been to FP twice with no recollection of leaving the mainland?
You may have had your eyes shut as you went over one of the causeways. Rest assured, Portsea Island is an Island off the coast of Great Britain. If only the internet provided a tool for fact checking.

An island is a body of land surrounded by water.
The below link may be useful. Both Canvey and Sheppey are considered islands. Both have football teams, but my original fact that didn't sound true (and clearly still doesn't) was about football league fixtures.

I just have one other niggle - If there are no other league teams on a UK island, then surely every Pompey result is unique - thus changing your original footy fact to simply, ”every Pompey home result is unique”.

Or did I misunderstand something ?
Yes you are right, but I wrote it specific to us and the day we played them for added affect. It sounded more interesting than just stating Pompey were the only team…

We should have been told about this.

It's not a clearcut argument either way though

Don't the Canaries play in Norfolk? 😬
