    Longest time in between games

    I'm going to Fratton Park on Tuesday.

    Last time I went was in 1984. 41 years between visits.

    I did my degree at Portsmouth Poly between 1984 and 87 and went to quite a few games at Fratton Park. I haven't been back since.
    The 86/87 season saw Pompey promoted to the first division, but I think they came straight back down the following season.

    there must be some mistakes there as 1984 is at most 30 years ago surely?

    August 1968 my first visit, a 3-1 win, a repeat on Tuesday would be most welcome.

    I was at Portsmouth Poly from 82 - 85 . The 1984 game was the famous clock incident.

    I live down here now but missing Tuesday as Ill be in France with work , though my 2 boys are going. Very frustrating to be missing my easiest game of the season!

    What I remember about that kit was the howls of laughter from the Portsmouth crowd as we came on to the pitch.

    League Cup game I was last there for. Pretty sure we lost in extra time. Cant remember the year. Think Blakey was playing for us.

    Same for me John. 82-85 and been a few times since. I couldnt believe it when The other Bob Wilson said we,ve only played there 7 times since 1974. I must have been to most of those games. But Im flying back from Gran Canaria this evening so will be knocking my phone on at Bristol Airport preying for a positive result!!
