Promotion sealed at Pompey!!
- Thread starter Cobalt 60
- Start date
I think the deed will be completed at Newport or Colchester, hoping for Colchester because I will be there but I will be happy that it is all done and dusted before the last day of the season. Nobody that has followed Argo deserves that this season, I know you don't follow Argo for the glory, but please don't make us wait to the last game.
I liked the point made by Chave, I cut my teeth as an Argo fan in the seventies against Pompey as I lived in Southampton at the time, I have always seen them as rivals if only for that, but I feel the Royal Navy might have something to do with it also. I for one would like us both to go up so the rivalry can continue, Good luck Pompey, but not at the expense of us.

Half the family from Portsmouth, the other half from Plymouth. This is, and always has been, our family's own personal derby. I wish I could get similarly wound-up about Exeter matches, but I just can't !

Good point Ian, if that is the case would they let argyle fans without tickets into the ground after the game to join the celebrations? I remember hearing years ago Luton letting thousands of Sunderland fans in to celebrate promotion after the match.PL2 3DQ":nujde4jt said:
well it is looking like a possibility for you..of course though there are 2 games before we meet- a possible 6 points that takes Pompey to 74. If Stevenage lose to both Barnet and Colchester in next two games, we have 12 points on them with 3 games/9 points left...hmm ..and Blackpool and Luton who are both on 60 now, play each other next week, so if they draw and then lose thier next games..we will be 13 ahead of the with 12 to play. So we could also go up at the same game..Ive been a Pompey fan for over 40 years, so know it will not pan out..but straws and clutching..well done on the Donny win
It's going to be a strange afternoon.
A win itself guarantees nothing. However if we better Luton's and Stevenage's results then it's over.
However, as others have pointed out, we kick-off half an hour before everyone else. So there'll be a tense period of waiting while the final scores come in. Maybe some will be in their car, or on the train home, when they find out we've done it. Will Pompey allow us to stay at Fratton Park for all that extra time?

It's simple. We have to better Luton's result and equal Stevenage's result. No other teams can mathematically catch us. Unfortunately Luton and Stevenage both have home bankers against Orient and Morecambe so it's unlikely we will go up on Friday. Let's hope Massey has another blinder.
