Are Chelsea not playing then?
Reckon you will win one of your last two games brimz and send pompey down? based on current performances? Or do Pompey have no hope?

I just hope that your club will be looked after and some stabililty is installed so that one of the Great English Clubs will be able to continue as a going concern .
Pompey are real if you haven't had the experience of Fratton Park in the rain then well you just can't really comment .
There are 92 professional clubs in England, surely there are plenty of cheap seats for the working class watching teams that probably are more relevant and full of home town stars.
I can understand you wanting to support the same team as a kid but reality is the EPL is so far removed from the old First division.
You can't have it both ways, selling the EPL around the world has bought millions of pounds which in turn has bought the best players. Would you prefer to have a competition like the French Ligue 1 or Scottish
pl that only the English give a shit about?
Unfortunately it is supply and demand. If the grounds are selling out then obviously market forces are going to dictate ticket prices.
I suppose any band who sells out Wembley Stadium should reserve tickets for little Johnny who loved them before they were famous too?
It isn't too far fetched to expect a proper break away competition set up from scratch and financed by billionaires. If the wages were high enough you would even see players turning their back on FIFA and the World Cup, especially if player work loads are reduced.

The only fair play would be a salary cap or some sort of draft but this would only be possible if the Champions League is turned into a proper league competition with clubs breaking away from their respective home unions.

Best players in the best stadiums all in my prime time? Bring it fucking on
