Call yourself a Pompey fan
Sit down and read this
Did you ever seen Pompey at Wembley ?
Did you watch the AC Milan game at Fratton Park ?
Did you watch Pompey in the Premiership ?
Did you see us play Saints in December ?
WELL WHERE THE F*CK ARE YOU NOW?!
A great number of people from The Trust and Pompey`s 12th man are doing a sterling job promoting the 'Pack the Park` and 'Pay4aPal` schemes.
BUT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO !
If you supported Pompey at any of the above events and are not going on Saturday then you do not deserve to call yourself a Pompey fan.
Bit harsh ?
No. I don`t think so
Your club needs you NOW and if you sit there and do nothing there will not be a club to watch in the future - IT IS UP TO YOU !
Call yourself a Pompey fan ?
Are you going on Saturday ?
You`re not !
Why not ?
Oh! You live aboard ! - Well donate to the Pay4a pal scheme to let somebody go in your place!
Oh! You live too far away in the UK ! - Well you managed to make a 'glory match` - Why not now ?
Oh! You don`t want to go on your own ! - Meet me in the Rutland Arms I`ll make you feel welcome and I`ll even buy you a pint or a ticket if you can not afford it!
Perhaps you can`t afford it ? - Register with the Pay4apal scheme - You may get a ticket that way - Or PM me I`ll buy you a ticket
Oh! You are too busy ? - What! Too busy to help support the club you claim to support in their hour of need ?
Maybe you are working ? OK then I hope to see you at our next home game or perhaps you were there last week eh ? No! Really ! oh but I bet you could get the day off if we were playing at Wembley !
The bottom line is .. Anything less than a packed house on Saturday is a disaster.
If you care what happens to PFC get your backside down to Fratton on Saturday... and take your family or a mate with you if you can!
Whatever you do, don`t come crying to me when there is no football at Fratton, because when I ask you if you were at the 'Boro game and if you say no, I am more than likely to call you a glory hunter rather than a Pompey fan.
I make no apologies for my opinion - If it has p*ssed you off - Good ! - That was the intention !
GET BEHIND YOUR TEAM IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED - THERE IS NO EXCUSE !

Pompeyrich - Glad to hear you are going in force .. Re the gloryhunters I don't really give a flying ***** about them .. but if can**** a few consciences that just might help ... hopefully 6,000 of them !!
Fripps - Keep the faith mate and please do ring if you are in the area of the Rutland
that said, when the truth of the matter is known we only have - and pretty much always have done - only 'really' had a hardcore amount of some 8000 or so havent we?
that is why, for me, in a roundabout way that the 5000 or so signed up for the 12th man site is kind of (if you get what i mean) in many ways a decent representation of the hardcore fan support... base the logic on how many turn up for the 'grand events' on the common and/or wants tickets for big games and how many usually go rain or shine and you come to my conclusion...
i have ALWAYS tried to defend those that cannot go, i appreciate that it is tough for a number of reasons but sometime you cannot defend things - this club is dying on its arse and if we cannot sell out we never will.
something to keep in mind is that some 7,000-8,000 of us there today are season ticket holders so we are putting NOTHING into the club today, whilst of course another 7,000-8,000 paying punters helps it is not enough, arguably 10,000 - which i cannot see us getting - on top isnt either, but it is a MUST for today...
last weekend was an awesome atmosphere and a decent turnout but lets not forget that leeds brought some 3,5000 of the 17,500 attendance, my worry is that boro will bring 1,000 tops, so the 2,000-2,500 shortfall on last week alone 'probably' will not be found so we will be looking at something like 15,000 today?
if that is all we get i will be gutted, you know what you could even see a grown man crying in fratton because that would (almost) confirm my worst fears that there 'probably' is no saving this club...
