Match of the Day might want us!
I have just been contacted by a producer from Match of the Day 2 - those that watch motd2 will know that once a week Kevin Day travels to a particular ground and talks to the fans of the chosen team - this week Pompey are the focus of his attention and they could be interested in using some of us from Vital Pompey?
The producer, John Nicholson had contacted me asking if I could - or I knew of anyone - that could help him out. Sadly as I will not be at the game this week - Everton and Villa back to back has wiped me out - I cannot do it personally, but maybe some of you fellas would be interested?
This is what John said in his email...
I'm a producer for Match of the Day 2 and I was wondering if someone at your site might be able to help me.
Kevin Day and myself are coming to Fratton Park on Saturday for the Spurs game to talk to some Portsmouth fans. We'd like to talk to fans who have seen the side at home and away this season and would like their opinions on why they think Pompey are unbelievable away from home but don't see to be able to score at Fratton Park, not since scoring 7 against Reading anyway!!
If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in being interviewed on TV I'd really appreciate you getting in touch.
We'd be particularly interested to hear from opinionated, eloquent, genuine fans who would be able to give a considered view on their team.
If you're able to help, give me a call on the number below and hopefully we'll be able to sort something out ahead of the game.
Many thanks
I am a really shy person, but nowhere near as shy as I used to be but if I was going to the game I would do this as I could talk Pompey all day long. I am opinionated, like to think I am eloquent, most certainly am genuine and could give a fair view on Pompey but sadly it is not to be.
I have contacted John and told him that I feel sure that Vital Pompey has more than a few suitable candidates so if this is for you go for it!
If this interests anyone drop me an email portsmouth@vitalfootball.co.uk - just click the link - and I will pass on the contact details that you need, then maybe Vital Pompey can have its own stars appearing on the box this weekend...

pentonpompey

pentonpompey
hopefully this can come off - plenty of interest and i reckon more than a few of your fellas on here would be fantastic doing this... i really am a shy person but had i been going to this game i reckon i would have, and could have done it - i would have wanr my 'vital pompey' t-shirt, to give us some promotion :-)
pompeyrug
Don't you have to wear a suit and tie on the BBC anymore? lol
eastneydave
tee shirts, rugmeister? where when how?
pentonpompey
this is great news rug! whoever does it has to put up a detailed report and links to the show so I can see this
whitestones
Im with you stones, it's gonna make a superb article, can't wait
pentonpompey
Fingers crossed.

vital-pomepy frequently has the "number 1" article on newsnow - and they nearly all get in the top 10. It would be great to get on TV, but having only been to 1 game this season, i dont think i would qualify...and besides, i'm out of the country anyway. All the same, its a reflection on how far the site has come!!!
pompeycarpet
i really do hope that something can be arranged and some of you fellas can get on the tv talking about our beloved pompey - if you do i want you to somehow get a mention in for'the landlord' tho...
pompeyrug
i didnt realise how popular vital pompey was until i went on newsnow, and soo many people view this site its incredible. this is fantastic news for this site and pompeyrug, well done mate
jbaker
its a team effort mate, i might put alot of articles out there but my right hand man paultsmouth does a crackin' job too then there are the dozens of members that constantly supply articles too, not t mention the many people that regularly contribute via comments and votes and so on... its a fantastic site that has come on leaps and bounds this last 5/6 months and long may it continue, the more we keep this team effort up the better it will be.
pompeyrug
Let's do VP & PFC proud.

(at the time of writing), vital pompey had 3 articles in the top 10 (current) - more than any other site! - it would be intresting to know how many hits the site got? surely it must be going on for one of the most viewed portsmouth fan sites there is?
pompeycarpet
i know not of more popular site, and it was scary to find that my dad had posted on this site several weeks back! I never knew that he knew this existed!
jbaker
storagematt, that is exactly what i hope can happen - should this come off, which i really hope it can and can see now reason why it cant? pompeycarpet, tbh i dont look at any other pompey sites, but i know pompey rivals are going through 'a tough patch' so i honestly cant think of any bigger, certainly not better than this! hits dont always mean you are succesful, but a few months back - in what was our most succesful 'in terms on hits' we had something like 2.5m hits in that month... stats dropped for a while but have come back with avengance recently...
pompeyrug
jbaker, who is your dad mate? name and shame to see if i know of the user name :-)
pompeyrug
i think he has posted like twice! and i cant remember the name, something like stumpy, but he does read all the time, and we end up gettin our information on pompey from here!
jbaker
Rug this is brilliant mate, I'm certainly up for it but think it would be brilliant it somebody from vital got to do it ... what with you on MOTD last week and now this whatever next ?...
Chix
rug, pretty soon you could make a carrer of this (web hosting)
whitestones
oh by the way if you cant make it I nominate Chix and eastneydave for the program
whitestones
whitestones, that would be fantastic, but if i could make a career out of this i would be laughing - but i really do this for my love of pompey, i wont lie i do get paid alittle bit, but it really is only 'alittle bit' but if i was doing this for the money i wouldnt be doing this now - you cannot put a price on love can you...
pompeyrug
well the motd2 fellas have selected a few - its not for me to name names, people can do this themselves but sad to say im still having to miss out :-(
pompeyrug
Well whitestones your nominations came in and I will be there. I have suggested to Rug ways he might get there too and he is thinking about it. BBC seem keen to meet us.
