I will be there and am very hopeful of a win,almost expectant
A bloke in the office is a Shrew and he does not expect them to score again this season.
 
14 going in a mini bus with a booked curry on the way home, retro shirts and son of wiggy going to keep me company on the table of shame in the curry house, nothing wrong with a korma is there?

Oh beers and footie as well
 
Absolutely biscuit! Just been out to buy some blue balloons for the game!!

Very much looking forward to it.

Hope we absolutely smash Shrewsbury & finish off the season on a real high.
 
Well a good day out.

A full away end made an awful lot of noise for almost all of the game.

First half was shite. Not sure we even had a shot on goal? Boring & lacklustre. Everyone seemed to be off colour, and Harris up front looked hopeless.

Second half was very different. Despite going 3-nil down we were a different side to first half.

Wallace came to life. I love watching him glide around the pitch. His balance is amazing. It all looks so effortless.

The 2 goals really had the place jumping & a draw or better did, at one point, seem likely.

The only downside was that there were a lot of drunk fans who seemed intent on going on the pitch. Credit to Westwood who seemed to go up the line of fans lining the hoardings & tell them not to go on. But when they sang "on the pitch, on the pitch" they were roundly booed by those still in their seats. I think the most compelling reason they didn't try & go on the pitch was the double bank of police & stewards. If those parts had caused a fine I'd have been very annoyed - it's my money!!

However, all in all a good day.

A very eventful, up & down season is finally over.

Lets hope for a settled season next season & for things to be looking up rather than down as has been the case of late.
 
can not really add much more than you did Tim tbh.

had a nice day out with good company, cracking surroundings, and good weather but as much as i love pompey, football and these days out if i am 100% honest it has not done much to make me get overly excited about wanting to part with a shed load of money, and a whole day (or more) to get back into going away every week...

my priorities have definitely changed in recent years, missing out on away games and the times in-between have also made me re-evaluate things.

the ST is here to stay, but with all due respect to the people i enjoy travelling with, and meeting up with, i would think i will be limiting my away travel from now on - i just do not get that buzz anymore and CANNOT afford it that is for sure!
 
I have been to very few away games, but we have had S.T.s for many years and rarely miss home games, with a family to support you have to get your priorities right and put them first. I think you need to have almost unlimited dosh to watch every match home & away & doubt very much if all that many people can actually attend all games. Looking forward to next season with optimism (limited). :18: :18:
 
Great day out, finally got son of wiggy to bed 1:50am after curry stop on way home

1st half made you realise some players not interested/good enough, Gypes just couldn't bothered and Eastwood not good enough, if he had been the correct side for the free kick the deflection would have just ballooned into his arms, what was he doing hiding behind the wall.

I hope the scouts watching Wallace went home at half time muttering still just a kid, as 2nd half he was pure class.

Thought Shrewsbury PA man/stewards and their fans applauding the trust takeover a nice touch, police presence totally over the top.

Only did 3 aways this season likely to do more next, shame Aldershot and Barnet went down, still Newport or Wrexham coming up

The votes had been cast; these numbers toted up with it decided among the Vital Pompey fraternity that <b><font color='#0E4FB0'>Jed Wallace</font></b> was the man of the match against Shrewsbury last weekend.

At half time you could not pick out a 'star man' for Pompey, from back to front we were bloody awful!

Most played like players that were going out of contract, some without an apparent interest in being with Pompey anymore, which to be fair I think is not the case – to be fair, to a degree, you can understand this as without the 'luxury' of a contract could they really risk injury and being without any income at all in the future?

Well, that is another debate!

2nd half we were much better, they must have got a rollocking and Wallace was at his very best. The kid makes the game look so easy when he is on his game and showed again just why it seems unlikely we will retain him next season?

Lets just hope that the watching scouts decided to go home at half time and based their views on the 1st half, deciding that he is not mature enough to step-up yet...
