Early doors in this great town and a group of immaculately dressed, fine looking young casuals meet in anticipation for a day that could bring us Glory and notoriety throughout the Casual scene.
Anybody who's ITK knows the history of the 6:57 and what they're capable of.
Would this be a day to remember?
Well in sorts, yes.
The morning goes by a lot slower than the drinks are going down and as we all know too well, chasing ghosts soon gets boring - when all of a sudden, word gets round that our boarders have been breached.
Time to call the cavalry... the hunt is on.
A centurion group of MSE then make very easy work of the remainder of the day.
on arrival at said destination a small number of 6:57 look bewildered at the sight of the "lower league minnows" turning up in such force,
"its going to go one of two ways mate, either we fucking have it now, or you all sit down, enjoy your beers, and shut the fuck up" - MSE
"well, we would have it, but you've just marched 100 lads into the pub, we'll get battered" - 6:57
Portsmouth get let off the hook...for now.
Alls well in the pub, but you can still sense an atmosphere when a conversation that pricked the ears of many happened.
Now apparently, the reason the famous south coast crew hadn't travelled is.... da da da da....
...They took 70 lads to accrington stanley last week...
Honestly, accrington stanley? I forgot they had a top firm and were renowned in the lower leagues for having a top mob... Oh wait...
I can just see lads from the likes of West ham not travelling to Chelsea because they'd gone to Wigan away the previous week. I'm sorry but this for me and many others out, was not an excuse.
"You're not in Accrington now mate so fuck off before I smash your head in"
All this being said the lads who travelled were by no means mugs and will be respected in these parts for a long while. They were Clued up and genuine gents on the casual scene.
They admitted defeat off the pitch gracefully, this resulting in no further action being taken against said lads.
"We've been outnumbered and outclassed today, we did not expect this.." -6:57
So if any other foreign hordes are planning on "Taking over the town", I'd be careful where you step, and keep an eye over your shoulder.
Its official...
MANSFIELD ARE BACK!
After all being squared with the travelling rogues, that left a little time before the game to have a bit of fun with the Pompey fans - Which must be said, turned a little sour its self when some brave lad decided to do a bit of glass juggling, which obviously went wrong and ended up shaving a few hairs off one of two Mansfield heads.
Fortunately for the Portsmouth shirt wearers, faithful Nottinghamshire's finest constabulary were there to hold their hands
So what usually happens when somebody throws a glass at you?
It's Mansfield's fault....
The Portsmouth faithful soon quietened down and the heavy handed OB try and take charge.
Order of the day for the majority? the dreaded Section 27....
"Section 27 legislation allows police to move someone from a specified area for a period of up to 48 hours. No offence needs to have been committed for the act to be enforced: the legislation gives police the power to move on people who they say pose a risk of alcohol-related disorder."
And as mentioned in a previous post... the obligatory arrest.
All in all a great show of force from our boys old and young, the reputation is back and is ours to defend.
HOME AND AWAY!
Match report
A hard fought 2-2 draw which could of gone either way, in my opinion probably a fair result, Portsmouth having the better of the first half, and Mansfield the latter.
The highlight of the game had to be Ben Hutchinson's 25 yard Volley leaving the pompey keeper helpless to watch the ball sail into the back of the net.
It looks to me as though Portsmouth are realising they're not going to walk the league as they once thought, this highlighted by the hugely supported club not selling out as so frequently promised at the start of the season.
Good result on and off the pitch.
Lets keep this momentum going week in week out.
Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend and as they say,
Keep it casual
