You only believe what you want to believe because it was not actually like that at all. However you cannot take away two FA Cup wins [1939 & 2008 just to help you out + two First Division (now Premier League) titles 1949 & 1950] whilst you were mainly in the nether regions of the four divisions. We are not whinging as we were relegated on the back of various Owners asset stripping, the 2008 financial crisis & three lots of points deductions, we are where we are. Our Support though, has been maintained with 12,000 season ticket holders and we are totally debt free. Your support is amazingly fickle, 8,500+ went to Liverpool but your next home game gate struggled to get over 8,000 in total and you still are in debt! Do not use the old chestnut that we bought our success, look at most of the Premier League Clubs & some Championship Clubs they have all tried to throw money at trying to get success. With Argyle, anybody with any money would do their homework and avoid Plymouth like the plague. Not withstanding I hope both of our Clubs get promoted this season
Pompey have as many fickle fans as Argyle, its all relative. Well done on 12,000 Season Ticket Holders. How many is that compared to your glorious PL days. How many remember the 1939, 1949 and 1950 Seasons ?

It may come as a surprise to many but this season we have SIXTEEN times as many season ticket holders as we had when we were Champions of England for the first time in 1948/49.
This season we have average home gates of 16,700 with 12,500 season ticket holders
In 1948/49 we averaged over 37,000 but had precisely 782 season ticket holders.
In those days ALL clubs had very few (if any) season ticket holders.
During our halcyon days, we also attracted over 30,000 to a reserve match at Fratton Park and smashed the all-time British record crowd for a friendly match - almost 200,000 in the Maracana during our tour of Brazil.
Well obviously Argyle have never won any of those because Pompey were too busy winning them. Means very little these days though. We're both in the same league, but we're higher in the pyramid. Enjoy your history if you can, from my perspective though, it's not really anything to shout about anymore.BlueinPL20":39yiafkb said:
I think it's quite amusing that Pompey fans want to register on another teams forum to tell them how much bigger and better their club is. What a waste of your time. I hope you're treating all the other clubs in the bottom league as fairly. I wonder if you've been lauding it over Doncaster, Carlisle, Exeter, Accrington, Morecambe etc. You've won more top league titles and fa cups than all the others in this league put together, that's not news to anyone. In fact, it just shows how far down you've fallen, but right now you're just a little less poo than Stevenage FC and a bit more poo than us. You're in the bottom division you numpties. Hahaha!

Ahhh, there we go. I wondered when the old 1939, 1949 and 1950 arguments would come in. fudge me, by that argument, Old Etonians would make you look poor. You bought your recent "success", live with it.
