Showing respect - well done all

Of all the grounds we could have been at round the country today, it was a pleasure being at Portsmouth with its Navy links for Armistice Day. 

A full house and an extremely boisterous away end, yet absolutely impeccably observed by every single person in a near 20,000 crowd. 

Well done all and we’ll done Pompey for marking it so well 👏

    They did a fantastic job, really was good.

    Take note Charlton, you don't need to spray the servicemen whilst you have the silence.
  • Spoke to quite a few Pompey fans in a predominantly Pompey pub, they were really decent people,wished us all the best, that’s how football should be on away days, a brilliant day out!
  • Two clubs with close links to the armed services.
  • Was at the dockyards for the 11am silence which was a great place to be. 
    Frustratingly I was in the naff concourse bit at Fratton when the silence happened so didn't get that experience but could hear how well respected it was.

    Have seen a few games in the last couple of weeks mainly on TV and at our place against Bolton, and with the exception of a couple of morons against Bolton shouting "free Palestine" they have all been impeccable.
