Where To Drink
On my last visit I went to the Good Companion pub, which
is on the main A2030 about a five minute walk away from the ground.
It is a large pub serving Gale real ales and had a good mix of home
and away support. I also noticed that it was doing a brisk business
in food. Martin Hewitt recommends the Harvester, but advises away fans to avoid the Milton Arms
and the Newcome Arms. Whilst Ian Pratt suggests the Brewers Arms which is 'always popular
with away fans'. Steve Yeoman a visiting Manchester
United fan informs me; 'just outside the ground at the north
east corner a large enclosed white marquee has been erected for away fans. It has a
bar, televisions and was free to enter.
There is a handy burger van located
outside'.
Derek Hall adds;
'Found a cracking little pub, about a mile away from
the ground, on Fawcett Road. It's called (very appropriately) The
Red, White and Blue. There are also a few other pubs - and plenty of
take-aways (of all varieties) along this road. Friendly staff,
friendly Pompey fans (chiefly, of the elder variety) and simple food
fayre on offer. To reach the pub, you just head
west from the ground, towards the Fratton Railway Station, along
Goldsmith Avenue. Just past the station, you reach a roundabout -
and Fawcett Road is immediately on your left'.
Otherwise drink in Portsmouth city centre or down at Southsea
before the game. Remember Portsmouth is still a major naval port and
hence some of the pubs can get quite rowdy at
weekends.
