Meet 'the landlord' & his chauffeur
This weekend not only means FA cup weekend, but it also means that 'the landlord' pompeyrug and his chauffeur plymouth graham will be in town for the cup game with Plymouth, along with 'the landlords' brother and Geoff.
We have a good track record so far this season with our visits to Fratton Park as a quadruple so we will be looking to increase this run. What makes it all the more sweeter will be the fact that we will be watching our beloved Pompey against the team that is closest to where we all currently reside, as we all live in or around the Plymouth area at this point in time.
There is more to this though - not only are we looking forward to the game, we are also looking forward to visiting the Brewers before the game for a beer - or in my case, and the other non drivers a beer or two - so hopefully some of you in the area will join us? If The Milton Arms is your favoured pub then we are only next-door.
We are aiming to arrive around 12.30ish, so should be in the pub by 1 at the latest, so anyone who is interested in meeting up for a quick pint and a chat leave a message below and/or send me and email and I will get in touch - via email myself - so we can exchange mobile details - do not post these details below!
I already have details of several of you - so you know what to do if you are interest, but as I say any others that might be interested in meeting up let me know then I will give you my mobile number - clearly I do not want to publish this on the net for obvious reasons.
Whatever you are doing this weekend enjoy the game, if you are at Fratton all the better, if you fancy a quick meet up before the game better still - we will look forward to it...
PLAY UP POMPEY!

UKTony
okay then fellas - I should be able to pick you out Chix seen as you are famous :-) i'll give people a rough idea of where we are in the pub when we get there. i'll check out the message in a mo tony.
pompeyrug
I want to proudly display where I am from so i will have a little tag saying DEVON SUPPORTER-Plymouth Graham, for the green army to look at, but I refused to where the chauffeur's uniform rug sent me.
plymouth graham
i think we might have to think again about that graham, travel in style so my chauffeur should dress as such - after all i am noe world famous :-)
pompeyrug
I trust when you park up you use the Pompey Windscreen Blind.
storagematt
I am making every effort to be there too.
eastneydave
Wont be able to attend the prematch wet, as i have wife, kids, aunts, uncles, neighbours, friends, colleagues, dogs, cats, ktchen sinks all in tow lol, so need to head to ground early, but have a good game
Midge
i dont even drive matt but i had one for myself, i gave the other to my sister - who does drive - and my brother - who doesnt but his better half does, they love em!
pompeyrug
if you can make it dave great, if not there will be other times... Midge bring them all along, there is always plenty of room in the pub - on second thoughts its a battle ground! there will be an 'official' vital pompey gathering at some point tho fellas, i aim to maybe get something booked out - maybe something at fratton one day?
pompeyrug
does anyone know if tickets are still available? will possibly be going, as my weekend has suddenly freed up - but i just need to get tickets!!!
pompeycarpet
tickets are still available mate - and will be up until 2.30 on saturday, check out the pompey site carpet as there are details on there.
pompeyrug
i will see what i can do
russellm
well, i think i should be gooingnow..80% anyway...
pompeycarpet
I'm not going, work commitments I'm afraid, I don't miss a league game but The weather has put me behind at work and its catch up time, radio for me!
paultsmouth
Shame Paul. Looks like I will be there just need a ticket which should not be a problem.
eastneydave
the magic of the fa cup...lets hope we wont be seeing another one of those "upsets" - as i think that, with a little luck, we could be on the road to wembly...well, actually, we are already on the road to wembly...its just how far a long it we can get...
pompeycarpet
hey Carpet our party has a spare ticket for definates if you want to sit with us in upper N/Stand. We may have two as Geoff may not be able to make it. let me know ASAP on this tag. i will also email you my number.
please no upset-We have to live down here.
plymouth graham
or any one else of course
plymouth graham
sorr graham, im now already going (insedentally, its with a friend who has a season ticket in the north stand upper, but couldnt get the tickets bceasue of a mix up with cards, pompey ended up selling the seats...i wonder if you end up with the same ones) but thanks for the offer!
pompeycarpet
already asked carpet mate - its a no go, i see dave wants a ticket, so how about it dave... i'll send him and email too.
pompeyrug
and there you go, we must have posted at the same time carpet.
pompeyrug
cheers boys- incidentally i have had a little trawl around various vital sites leaving tags -is that the right terminology- These include Bury, re FA cup game against Scum, and Bolton - re Taylor, and the fact i have lived in both those towns. Ive also visited Plymouth, Scummers and Bristol Rovers about recent FA cup draw....it makes it very plain in deed what a great site we have in comparison... well done rug and every one else
plymouth graham
Rug, after our texts tonight, looking forewars to seeing you somewhere, Maybe in the Brewers arms, if they let kids and wifes in on matchdays!?
pompey4me
as i say im sure we can arrange something p4me - i couldnt say if they left wives in - left alone kids :-) - on match days, but can say it'll be mighty crowded but i guess they are used to this going to fratton every other week... we'll sort something, we look forward to meeting up with the fellas that have so far arranged to do so.
pompeyrug
Thanks for the invite Rug. I'm taking my nine year old daugter to the game so won't make the pub but have one for me.....mine's a Guinness!
NinjaTim
Tim that is fine because Chix will drink the Guinness! I am going now as I have a ticket from Plymouth graham. See yo all there.
eastneydave
sounds good i'll see if i can make it, am i allowed to bring my old man?
jbaker
9.30pm thursday..the ticket is securely your Dave..not just that you are sat with the mighty Rug and Co. I am realy looking forward to meeting all you guys
plymouth graham
10.00 Thursday Thanks Graham - sure is going to be packed in the Brewers on Saturday!!
eastneydave
Would love to make it but 12,000 miles is a long way. Pity I didn't get to meet some of you on Boxing Day. I had a few pre match and after in the Connaught Arms in Guildford Road. Perhaps next time...anyway if anybody comes to Sydney you can see my POMPEY car and share a schooner or two.
pompeygray
you'll be with us in spirt pompeygray :-) jbaker if you and your old man want to meet up with us too feel free, i'll email you in a minute so we can exhange mobile numbers... pompeygray, i hope to come to australia one day, so i'll track you down, its my aim to come over for the next ashes series.
pompeyrug
jbaker - Is your old man a dustman? , does he wear a dustmans's hat?... soory early morning singalong time in my house at the moment (beats ceebeebies!) - How many have we got going then Rug ?
Chix
well there is me, plymouth graham, my borther, richie - no longer geoff, he cant make it sadly - from our travelling lot... then there is you Chix, and eastneydave - who will also now be sitting with us - that are certs... i have mobile details for UKTony and jbaker - who i must contact today! - who are both up for it with various family members, pompey4me and his family want to meet up, but i think this will happen after the game... russellm - who i watched the yeovil pre season game with and have regular, almost daily contact with wanted to come along, but he cant make it... so we have a few, but there is room for more! as i told russ last night i do hope to organise an 'official' gathering sometime soon, maybe in the summer - so if i can hopefully as many of us as possible can make it?
pompeyrug
im going to the game too...but the milton arms - and just about any pub - is not conveniant for me -so i wont be popping along to see you all.
pompeycarpet
My Dad who normally sits next and in front of the two guys who were on MOTD will be sat with us on this occasion too. Being a cup game he chose not to have his season tkt seat to be with us.
I've been driving around Plymouth with a Devon supporters poster with plum and the club crest on it, a S/West supporters badge, and a scarf and shirt on the hatch back tray...not a toot..or any thing. i hope its different on the way up.
