Sky actually show the first round of the JPT? Jesus, they really will put anything on the telly!

Lol, on soccer am no less.

Think this is a good draw, and we will see a bumper crowd which can't be bad thing for the club, Portsmouth fans will come in good numbers regardless, and think a few that normaly wouldn't bother for the jpt might be tempted out.

I really hope not or they may be tempted to give Ferrari Lover his own show.

Does anyone actually know when the tie is yet? I am down for a week next week and I am due to go back Monday but can get an extension to the holiday for a day if it's on Tuesday.

Will almost certainly be the Tuesday 3rd September-can't see any reason for it being on any other day that week.

Sky are televising the Bristol 'derby' on Wednesday 4 September.

Rang the club this afternoon and they are 80% certain our match will be o Tuesday.
I would have like to see the Rovers City Match live too, But even though it's the following day I will not set foot anywhere near Trashton due to their violent fans who will turn up without doubt.
Will just have to satisfy myself with watching on TV

Confirmed on OS Tuesday 3rd Sept 7.45pm.

A shame the club have decided against offering some kind of discount to season ticket holders. £12 seems quite steep for a JPT game regardless of who the opponents are.

A friend of mine at work who is a pompy fan (who thinks they will walk this league) reckons that they will take a lot of fans down. He even went as far by saying they will sell out their allocation. I would be very surprised if they sold out but even if its 500 Pompey fans, that's still a good turn out.

Knowing they will be having a league game against us and most probably for some a weekend away down here in Torquay, I doubt they will sell out their allocation.

Don't be at all surpised if they either sell out or get close to selling out the away end for this game, fan's of AFC Portaloo are in the main very loyal. and there is more than a few that live down this way.
