Today's gate at Fratton park

[Steve Foster]

The capacity is 20,700 at Fratton Park yet for what was both clubs second derby, only 16,496 turned up.

So where were the gaps?

Clearly casual BHA fans didn't go to Crawley.

Palarse only attracted 13,167

Perhaps everyone else went to Pride?

Plenty of gaps in the home stands.

Difficult to judge when your in it but the away end felt like it was bursting at the seams, certainly where I was loads of people didn't have a seat and were either 'sharing' a space or just standing in the aisles, which suprisingly after 5 minutes the stewards gave up trying to manage.

£32 to sit in a converted terrace might have put a few off. I didn't think there were many gaps in the away end though. Both side stands appeared to have large gaps in them, but the Fratton End appeared to be full.

My legs are still aching like mad, but then I think I may have a cold coming on. The day made up for it though. Great banter on the train back to Three Bridges; the Pompey fans on there were quite a laugh. Sussex, Hampshire and British Transport coppers I met were top blokes as well.

Exactly.

If you don't have a ST at Pompey (don't know how many they have sold) at the prices they charge, considering the times we are in, they won't get many casual fans.

There quite a few gaps where I was (lower north stand near Fratton end, 5 rows from the front). The rows in front of us were empty. Fratton end had a few gaps - mainly at the ends.

Did you see any gaps in our end from there ?, because as others have said, you can't see when you're in it but our end felt full to bursting. We sold out our allocation didn't we ?

If there were any gaps, they were too small to see from the other end.
Some good noise coming from you lot too.

Difficult economic climate so would expect to see attendances down at a lot of clubs this season.

Pompey are a club on the slide. Supporters used to seeing premier league football, are hardly likely to flock to see a buch of cloggers, kicking lumps out of the likes of, Doncaster, Barnsley etc
