#SouthCoastDerbyBBC
MOTD camera cabling along the South Stand as #Pompey's Kevin Dillon beats Steve Williams in the FAC4 derby at Fratton Park in Jan-84. The 36,000 attendance was the largest (still is) for a South Coast derby in either city.

2 Mick Quinn goals - 4-1 on agg.

Chairman John Deacon reduced terrace prices from £3.50 to £2.50 following complaints, saying a gate of 10,000 would make him reconsider.
8,264 turned up, so no price drop.

#Pompey have gone 1-0 down at Scunthorpe in Jan-80 in Div 4. Steve Bryant goes to fetch the ball, Keith Viney looks on in disbelief, Trevor Roberts (remember him?) looks away, and Peter Mellor is on the deck. The only goal of the game - Att. 2,609 @sufcofficial.bsky.social

Joe Laidlaw scores with a header in front of the #Pompey fans at Huddersfield in Oct-79 to make it 2-0.
