Amazing video Dan , I have massive respect for Pompey as a football club and like you said in the video they do not deserve to be in league 1 considering how big of a football club they are . Their fans are simply incredible and some of the best in England . Loving the content atm !
Shoutout Jed Wallace stuck with the club through the shitshow, was by far our best player those first 2 years in league 2 might have ended up in the conference if not for him.
Thanks for doing a video on us mate. Really good. It’s been a bumpy ride in recent years that’s for sure! I think it was Boris Johnson years ago that described us as a northern city, and a city that was full of “drug addiction and obesity”. You’re right that people here see it as a badge of honour not to be associated with those in the rest of the south!
Really good video, you should do more of this. Although I’ve grown up with Italian football it’s also really interesting to hear about English football clubs stories.
I was at the EFL final at Wembley vs you lot. All of your fans I met were sound and it was rocking in there from both sides. You'd have never know it was for a lower league cup. Best of luck this season and PLAY UP POMPEY!
Another reason Dan, that there is a touch of the North about Portsmouth, is that, being a Naval city, many sailors from the North and Midlands settled in Pompey when they left the services and supported the team. Many years ago, when Pompey were playing at home, the terraces were a sea of white hats and many Northern accents could be heard. No doubt they initially came just to watch a game of football or to see their own team play the blues but eventually they got "sucked in" to supporting the Pompey team. ps. Matelots, as we call them, don't wear their uniform in town any more so no hats at Fratton Park.
harry has never lived in portsmouth as he's a Bournemouth man, in fact lives in the posh sandbanks area once name the second most expensive place to live behind Tokyo
A few things you missed out of got a bit wrong , but a pretty good explanation . I've been a fan since 65 and most of that time was spent mid table in the second division ( Championship) . We did end up in Division four in the 80s after financial troubles and worked out way back , even to a season in the first division with Bally . All my dreams came true when we got in the Premiership and won the cup , the ownership and collapse was ridiculous and I'm amazed we managed to salvage the club .Personally I'm happy to have a club to watch ,and the support has been great. It's now been long enough that some fans have never seen us in the higher divisions and it's for them especially we need to go up soon . We did it in the 80s and there's no reason we can't do it now . Interesting video best of luck for next year .
Hi Dave, my first game was Boxing day '63; nice to meet another oldie - me thinks that Div 4 period with Frank B was one of the most exciting teams we ever had.
great video, thanks for it mate. Not gonna lie I have always a bit of jealousy with Sunderland. Since we both seemed to be stuck in the division for a while we developed a slight rivalry, same feeling I have with Plymouth. But still to give u credit, Sunderland supporters are some of the best fans in English football too.
@@sr4ontour probably mixed it up with the league trophy, fun fact it's the only domestic trophy pompey have never won, we've won all 4 divisions, league trophy and fa cup
Being from Portsmouth I can tell you now, we do not think we are like a northern city, we are very much a southern city and the best 1! And as for poverty that’s a load of waffle, no more then any other city,
im a Pompey boy born and bred and want to thankyou for a good video highlighting the city and club, we have had our ups and downs like many other clubs, but after some good pre-season signings this season coming is a great chance to get out of league one.cheers
Hummm more that one misleading background fact (facts can be true but mislead at same time), and more than one wrong. You got that working class part right but repeat the fake facts regarding financing etc. I was there when Milan was told on the train back from Sheffield that if he wanted to make Pompey work he should get get 'arry in. and when he did, 'arry made loads of good deals buying players cheap and HUGE profits when selling them on to Euro giants. It was nothing like Leeds! Pompey didn't buy players they could not afford. As for Gaydamac, the family had funds frozen in Israel and used to club to finance their court cases etc. We did not lose 2-0 to Chelsea in FA cup final....I gave up at that point. (Edit: I suggest you stick to Bunderland, and leave Pompey be)
Made it at like 5am apologies for making a few mistakes but that’s just what I researched, and it’s not as if the whole principle of the video is ruined
I think you need to relax mate, this is a channel of less than 2k subs not a massive media company, you can forgive a few mistakes and praise the lad for the amount of effort he put in for a hobby project
It's not depressing it's funny but I remember when we were going bankrupt and nearly lost the club and it was horrible any other club I would feel sorry for them but they are skates and deserve to be there

Shoutout Jed Wallace stuck with the club through the shitshow, was by far our best player those first 2 years in league 2 might have ended up in the conference if not for him.
Absolutely brilliant,... And pompey. V Sunderland checkatrade final had more fans 89,000 than the Southampton v Leeds playoff final, ..amazing fans

Yeh good on ya mate it’s better anyway then the rest of the south
Class video I don't see them getting back up tbh I want them back in prem but don't see it

Really good video, you should do more of this. Although I’ve grown up with Italian football it’s also really interesting to hear about English football clubs stories.
Appreciate it mate I love Italian football anarl and there are some great stories over there to
Top video thank you for making it
Pup
Thanks man
Good one! Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow the depth this video goes into to describe the city and the culture is unlike anything I've seen from a neutral before, massive respect!
Thanks man means a lot
At 18:20 the table shows the championship not the league 2
I was at the EFL final at Wembley vs you lot. All of your fans I met were sound and it was rocking in there from both sides. You'd have never know it was for a lower league cup. Best of luck this season and PLAY UP POMPEY!
You to mate

Eh right makes sense tbh it’s a fascinating city and story

Thanks mate and you to fair enough tried to get it all right but did make a few mistakes glad you enjoyed it though

Fifteen thousand at the old County ground Northampton , certainly turned things round after a decade of decline . Hope this year will be as good .
Great video thank you for the hope I belive its our year too I think we cab be fight for the title this year
Hope so

love to see
Redknapp loves on sandbanks now… Other than that quality video! We will be back up in the prem soon💙
Am I mistaken saying that’s Portsmouth or is it closer to Bournemouth
@@sr4ontour It's between Bournemouth and Poole
@@sr4ontour nah its in bournemouth mush, near christchurch
Redknapp has never lived in Portsmouth. He lives in Sandbanks near Poole
Is that not near Pompey? Or in Pompey
No.
@@sr4ontourWhere Harry lives is also in a different county. Poole is in Dorset.
Yeah, it is even further away from Pompey than his former weekend haunt in Selsey
One mistake I've noticed in your video 15 seconds in, pompey have never won the league cup
Oh really
@@sr4ontour probably mixed it up with the league trophy, fun fact it's the only domestic trophy pompey have never won, we've won all 4 divisions, league trophy and fa cup
Pretty good PUP
Yes lad
Being from Portsmouth I can tell you now, we do not think we are like a northern city, we are very much a southern city and the best 1! And as for poverty that’s a load of waffle, no more then any other city,
And Harry lives in sandbanks, Poole, Dorset which isn’t the same county!
Come on Pompey 🤞🏾
10/10 😊
Thanks man
Redknapp lives in SANDBANKS which is in Dorset. If he lived in Pompey he'd have to replace his windows every day of the week.
I think it's funny the years of misery they got after getting Southampton relegated what goes around comes around 😂
im a Pompey boy born and bred and want to thankyou for a good video highlighting the city and club, we have had our ups and downs like many other clubs, but after some good pre-season signings this season coming is a great chance to get out of league one.cheers
It’s looking like finally it’s your year
@@sr4ontour we will see, nothing in football is 100% and other teams have been busy too.cheers mate
Fucking lovely video, you just gained a sub
Thanks mate

Very factually wrong
