And , let's face it , there are plenty ... If you could ask them why they hate CCFC , who would you ask ? for me , it would be Paddy Crerand . for some reason he used to slate anything to do with CCFC . I recall he got into a nasty altercation in the old Main Stand in Highfield Road . he was also on Sky Sports and said , what would CCFC know about playing decent football , or even their fans seeing decent football . nasty horrible fella .

I met Newbon at Brandon when I worked race nights at the Bees. Arrogant and self-important is how I would describe him.

Any particular reason ?
Yes. Many years ago, mid 80s I believe a load of Cov boys were in Whitley Bay in the North east, Portsmouth had been playing a north east side that weekend, so they also descended on the place. Long story short there was a big fight and one of Pompey's top boys got seriously hurt.
Since then on at least 2 occasions t, there has been a load of crowd trouble at Highfield Road with Portsmouth fans. It's all to do with the above.

Ah yes , that . I remember the battle at Highfield Road . why they needed to bring it inside the ground was beyond me.

There was trouble in 89 at Highfield Rd, after we'd beaten them and sent them down. And then around 2002 when it kicked off at half-time, bloody mental.

Yes , was very bad in 2002 . it's a shame we bypassed each other this season as Fratton is only 80miles from me. I do like a day out at Pompey.

That was when he was trying to defend Cantona after he had launched a 2 footed tackle into the crowd.

That was my lads first home game, we went into the bar area behind the West End at half time and didn't know anything about the trouble until we got home and saw it on Central TV.

Rodney Marsh used to slag us off when he was on Soccer Saturday.

George Best disliked us and slagged us off for some reason. Something along the line of " what's the point of Cov City ? " Never found out why he said that !
