The only thing I got wrong in my previous post was the date of our premier league season was 2013/2014 not 2012/2013 and for this I apologise most sincerely as I have obviously seriously offended you. However, all the other figures in my post are correct, proving that our games have been better attended than Portsmouths in comparable years in the recent past. Also you have deliberately ignored the rest of my post about attendances in the lower league levels, which explains why I think our gates were so low, so I am not going through all that again.Originally Posted by J R Hartley
If you want to quote statistics how about you get them correct
As for restricted capacity at NP, thats got nothing to do with average crowds of 3500.

You didn't realise that the ground capacity at Fratton Park was limited by H&S even when they were in the Premiership? It was nigh on impossible to get seats then, mush. To compare Pompey's Premiership attendances with Cardiff's is frankly ridiculous for that reason. Get yer facts right...
When Pompey were relegated, the max crowd size would have been about 18,000 - so sold out most games. Cardiff averaged under 21,000 - big gaps!

Damn troll....
When we were a crappy fourth division outfit in 1990 we took 800 to fratton park on a Tuesday night
We got stuffed
But to answer the question Pompey are and always will be a bigger club than us
On the promotion season when we both got promoted we took more to fratton park than they brought to NP
I love all these comments about being a big club - if we had had 30 years plus continuously in the 1st Div/Prem - imagine what our support and stadium capacity would be now - as it happens we've spent more time in the lower leagues over the 40 odd years I've supported City... get real
I never said we were a 'big club', just potentially so and currently bigger than either Hull or Portsmouth.I love all these comments about being a big club - if we had had 30 years plus continuously in the 1st Div/Prem - imagine what our support and stadium capacity would be now - as it happens we've spent more time in the lower leagues over the 40 odd years I've supported City... get real
You're wrong here.
I think we are a bigger club than Portsmouth. They have had much more success than us in recent years and were a well established Premiership club.
Pompey, historically, have always had large traveling support though.
That said,so did we until the authorities started handing out banning orders.
The Cup game in 1990 whereby we frequented the Milton Arms was testament to that. As Sludge said, we took over 800 and the home fans were in amazement at the time.
How are we currently a bigger club than Hull exactly?
They've spent 5 of the last 9 seasons in the Premier League and currently have better attendances?

Neither of us has played any home league games this season, so how can you say currently they have better attendances. Last season they were in the premier league, so their attendances were obviously higher than us then. Their average attendance last season was 20761 and their ground capacity is 25400 (82% occupation). Our average attendance in the prem in 2013/2014 was 27432 against a capacity of 27850 (98% occupation). Our ground is larger than theirs by 7880 currently. We have a larger catchment area and fan base. Prior to 2009 they had never been in the top division and they have never won the FA cup. We were established before them in 1899. I could go on but have a feeling that you would disagree and appear to like causing arguments in an empty room.
[QUOTE=dml1954;4767039]So 27,850 - 25,400 = 7,880?
[QUOTE=dml1954;4767039]You say "currently" then bring up points from 85 and 118 years ago
[QUOTE=Cyclops;4767042]He's reffering to the white elephant that is the top tier in the Ninian. The stand which we cannot afford to open, and dont need to open.
However, this will come back to bite him on the bottom when he uses his occupation percentages.
[QUOTE=J R Hartley;4767058]No kidding!
I was taking him at face value. Are you suggesting he changed the goalposts within two sentences?
Blimey!
[QUOTE=Cyclops;4767072]Hes moved the goalposts that much we are playing at Ninian Park again!!!

.....and using jumpers!
On many occasions, most supporters would know that.
[QUOTE=Cyclops;4767042]You didnt know that the ground of the team you say you support was extended in 2014 to hold 33280 !!.
[QUOTE=dml1954;4767197]Yeah, right !
[QUOTE=Cyclops;4767083]You and Hartley are a pair of wags aren't you !!. Just because you are losing an argument you act like a pair of kids (which you could well be for all I know) and use your unrivalled wit and sarcasm (not) to try to belittle someone. Well carry on, you are just making yourselves look even more stupid.
