Thanks, Alan – glad you enjoyed the majority of your day.

I’ve been to Fratton Park twice (2011 and 2013, I think) and the Blades lost on both occasions! You’re right that it’s an ‘old school’ ground and back then the facilities were awfully dire, but Portsmouth’s a nice place to stay for a weekend.

The radio commentary on Saturday was also dire – but mainly because the supporters were making so much noise, BBC’s technology didn’t seem to be able to drown it out! So well done all the Travelling Blades.

Sue.
