Roy's View From... View From Portsmouth

[Blademan18891889]

Confused by the people saying we were quiet. We weren't at all. It wasn't the best away end ever or anything but both sides seemed to take it in turns to dominate in terms of loudness. I was really impressed with their home support but the idea we were just stood there not singing is nonsense.

Wasn't there yesterday but from previous visits there home support is as good as it gets in this country, which these days there are very very few places with any atmosphere tbh.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nice stuff weird one.

schrodinger away fans...which was nice!

 

[Jon Bon II]

So we were the best away fans and the worst at the same time, quite an achievement that

Portsmouth, it seems, are well known for their quantum theorising.

"Enjoyable scrap that!" "Good game, although few clear chances. They clearly have quality, but I feel we mostly stopped it at source today. Not sure why it kicked off at the end, didn't seem that sort of game. They'll be in the mix for promo, but I'm confident we'll be fine come May." "Sheffield...

Indeed, it was good support from both, although they did suffer a bit like we do with "need excuse to support" syndrome

United away support isn't what it was vocally though. The lane has been dead for years and it's starting to be the same away from home now too tbh. New generation of fans I think.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

It’s something I've been saying for a while, especially after watching United play at home and away. Over the last three or four seasons—pretty much since Wilder left and COVID hit—I feel like our fans have been pretty quiet, both at home and on the road.

There have been a few games where we’ve really brought the noise back, like against Hull and Everton, but for the most part, we’ve been a bit of a subdued crowd (granted performances last season deserved that) The promotion season with Hecky was strange, and it feels like our expectations have really changed since we finished in the top 10 19/20.

Take that match against Derby, for example—Wilder got booked because he was trying to get the fans hyped up by interacting with the Derby player.

I’m not pointing fingers here; I might be part of the problem too. I go to the games, but I can see how a nervous atmosphere can definitely effect the players.

“Sheffield Wednesday much better fans then the church mice that came were at fratton today”

Let me guess… that’s from a ‘Man City fan’ who happened to be at the game today?’

Schrödinger’s fans.

They were the best home support I’ve come across for years. We were decent but if you’re at the end of one of their sides all you’d have heard was Pompey.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Cheers roy, did we play football or just go to sing song, and were we loud or quiet, and did they have a pig on there forum or two

 

[BarcaBlade]

Nice to see that we are both the best and worst set of fans they've ever seen. Cheers Roygbiv

Maybe we can get an opinion on that from the ref. I'm sure he'd appreciate the attention.

“Sheffield Wednesday much better fans then the church mice that came were at fratton today”

Always one

That must be from a piggie fan because people were saying what a cracking atmosphere?

I sit in the fratton end 5 rows from the front. Opposite the away fans and barely heard the Sheffield fans yesterday. Couple of little spells when you had a corner and after the game, that was about it. you can see a few bouncing around and singing in there but It's hard to hear the away end unless it's particularly rowdy when the home support is good. Only a few teams come down and really make themselves heard. The best we've had there in recent years was Carlisle which surprised me.

You’d struggle to hear the Sheffield fans as they were busy losing at home to Bridlington.

As I’ve now said twice: we were pretty good but that was the best home support I’ve seen for years. Of course you struggled to hear us when your fans were making a proper racket.

 

[Fatlad666]

Cheers Roygbiv top work again sir

 

[derfblade.3]

Considering Pompy played quite well yesterday, it seems strange that they are more interested in away supporters noise than bullying up their team.
I know another club like that.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

So, were we loud or quiet then ??

Yes

 

[Bobby b]

The away support was either the best for a long while or the worst for a long time, sheffield united were either a quality team or an atrocious team, come on fellas make up your mind

 

[Birdwell Blade]

I thought we backed the team well yesterday. Had a bit of a quiet spell in the first half when they started getting on top a bit but other than that thought we were loud and proud!

The home support was loud. You don’t often see home support like that where the whole stand(s) seems to join in.

Good old fashioned club Pompey, like the ground, good day out for a 0-0.
