k2hardcore Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 that away end dont hold 6000. when we take 2300 thats more than half of it. plus i would only expect us to take an initial allocation to start with as every away game this season has gone to booking history apart from wolves.

Seats are also priced at £10 for young people (17-21) and students with a valid NUS card. The match will be played in the week beginning November 30 but the date and kick-off time have yet to be finalised. Tickets are on sale exclusively to season ticket holders between Monday, November 9 and Friday, November 13. There is also an exclusive window for members between Monday, November 16 and Tuesday, November 17. Seats go on general sale from Wednesday, November 18.

Ads Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Got the whole end then. As an aside, how on Earth did Pompey manage to get somebody to sponsor that shed?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker_Villa Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Looking on the trainline it looks as though a train to the game is imposible to get back on ! Any ideas, im asuming the coach doeasnt get there early enough to take in some local pubs ? How early did the coaches get to Sunderland in the last round ? Sadly it might have to be a drive and not drink to this one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markeefc Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Its my first time at Portsmouth. Is there a local pub for away fans and where is it in relation to the away end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2hardcore Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 the good campanion i think it is called. u will pass it on ur way to the ground on the left hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The Good companion does usually have lots of away fans, never drank there with Villa though, possibly a good option if arriving by car. Right next to ground near away end is Shepherds crook (Goldsmith av), i have drank in their with Villa, been fine not sure it always is though. Other options just down the road (milton road) are Travellers joy which was rocking a couple of years back. I think the other one i went to last season was Brewers arms, wasn't that lively but friendly enough (although there wasn't 3000 Villa in town then). The one to keep away from on that road is the Milton Arms as its definately not away friendly. (I think i've got those the right way round) For those that arrive early best areas to go with lots of pubs are either guildhall, gunwharf quays or Albert road. Those that are stopping its Student night at Walkabout in guildhall, so will either be a place to head for for cheap drinks and plenty of skirt or to steer away from if not your thing.
