If you’re in the Fratton End, hold up your card when the
#Pompey
players form the pre-match huddle.
Let’s create a special atmosphere for the last home game of the season 💙
8 years ago today the generosity, dedication and hard work of thousands of Pompey fans rescued our club.
As the team takes the pitch today, we can look back at that achievement knowing that without the contribution of so many, today would not be happening
Thanks to all of you
It’s a big day for
@BlackpoolFC
fans as they return to their club now Oyston free. Everyone from
@PompeyTrust
wishes them well and hopes they enjoy the day. Well done to
@BlackpoolST
&
@KnightTangerine
for triumphing on their long campaign.

#Pompey

🏆 Men’s Team - League Champions
🏆 Women’s Team - League Champions
Thank you to every
#Pompey
fan who took part.
The posting of racist abuse of
@ivantoney24
on social media by someone calling himself a Pompey fan is totally unacceptable. Racist abuse has no place in football, and anyone who does it has no place in the Pompey family.
6 years ago today, after a long campaign and with the support of 2417 shareholders and so many other fans, we saved the club. Thanks to
@AshBeen23
@mickwill
@slowhandtrap
for leading our bid and so many others who got the message out, coordinated support and raised the funds!
All of us at the PST are devastated by the news of the sad death of Steve McLenaghan.
Known to many as Pompey Loyal, Steve was a huge figure to us - persuading people to join, campaigning and in raising a staggering £21,000 towards our funds to buy the club out of administration
Today we saw Steve Mac laid to rest.
PFC probably wouldn't exist without the efforts of people like Steve, and we remember his life and celebrate his contribution to the club and to the PST.
Rest in Peace Steve
💙
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel at the news of the passing of John Jenkins.
A D-Day veteran, first and foremost, John served his country when it needed him most.
The PST is today mourning the loss of Alan McLoughlin.
Alan played 361 games for
@Pompey
between 1992 and 1999, scoring 69 goals.
Signed from Southampton, he quickly became a first team regular and came so close to Wembley in the memorable FA Cup Semi Final and replay of 1992
On a wet and windy day like this, it’s often our disabled supporters who are most exposed to the weather. Members of the PST board were on hand with free mince pies and coffees at half time today to help warm them up. Merry Christmas to them and to every
#Pompey
fan from the PST
The politics of European football may seem a long way from
@Pompey
in 2021 but, make no mistake, the European Super League is a direct threat to all clubs at every level of the league.
Terrible to see fans of
@OfficialBWFC
& our friends at
@BWFCST
worrying about the future of their club.
Fanbase power saved Pompey and it can save Bolton. When fans get organised then the impossible becomes possible. We're sure that
@BWFCST
, with
@SuppDirect
can find a future
Although many fans showed their appreciation towards Trevor Birch, perhaps there were some in the ground who do not know his important to PFC history.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Trevor, the PST and the Presidents would not have been able to save the club.
9 years ago this week, 5
#Pompey
fans agreed to set up the Portsmouth Supporters’ Trust to help safeguard the future of the club. This plaque has been put up to honour them, and the many thousands more who have supported us and helped the cause ever since.
Congratulations to
@AFCWimbledon
on their return to Plough Lane.
@TheDonsTrust
were a huge help to us in our early days and we’re really pleased to see you return to your home.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Papa Bouba Diop, “the wardrobe”. A key member of our FA Cup winning squad.
Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
RIP
To everyone who stood up and refused to let
#Pompey
die 10 years ago - thank you. We will always be proud of our collective achievement.
The club will celebrate community ownership at the next home game against Accrington, as part of the club’s 125th anniversary events.
10 years ago today, a city united to save its football club from liquidation. Thank you to the below
#Pompey
fans and syndicates who raised £2.35m - and other Blues followers who backed the cause.
As for those who sided with Balram Chainrai - you’ll never be forgotten either.
Everyone
@PompeyTrust
is thinking of
#Bury
fans today and their fight for survival.
We should have been the final club to put our fans through this nightmare. But lessons are never learned and collective owners of clubs get complacent.
Abusive chanting has no place at Fratton Park and paints the club in a poor light. If you hear any at today’s game, report it to 07500778844 and drown it out with songs which support the team instead
#Pompey
We’re working with
@PompeyITC
on a major project which will bring a brand new community hub and two full size ‘3G’ football pitches to the city. You can read more about our plans here, including information on how members can approve the proposals
#Pompey
We are pleased to announce the completion of our £250,000 donation to Pompey in the Community to help fund the construction of the John Jenkins Stadium
Sadly we’re mourning another member of the Pompey family.
Elaine Giles was for many fans the face of Pompey, as ticket office manager for many years she was always there to help out fans with a smile.
RIP Elaine and condolences to family and friends.
Very welcome news of improved facilities for disabled fans and an additional £10m+ to be invested by Tornante.
We look forward to discussing the detail and timing of these plans with the club.
The PST is tonight mourning one of our favourite managers Jim Smith. A true gentleman, Jim was the architect of the great 1992 cup run and came so close to promotion in 1993, a feat he achieved as assistant to Harry Redknapp in 2003. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends at
@BlackpoolST
in the fight for their club. Please take a moment to read the message from them and your support for their Not a Penny More campaign would be appreciated
This is good news for
#Pompey
fans, who will now pay £30 on the opening day of the season.
Last year, Leeds charged visiting fans up to £47, so we held meetings with
@lufctrust
& PFC in recent months to advocate for a reciprocal ticket deal to avoid this possibility.
11 years today. Undoubtedly one of my favourite moments covering
#Pompey
. The day when fans saved their football club from liquidation. Not all supporters were happy about it at the time - let’s not rewrite history here - but the Blues have since gone from strength to strength.
We are delighted to announce that the statue honouring
#Pompey
legend Jimmy Dickinson is complete, and will be unveiled at Fratton Park ahead of next week’s home game against Lincoln City on Saturday 23rd September.
Read more here:
This morning, we will be giving evidence to the Fan Led Review of football, explaining the failures that led to the collapse of the club, how the fans saved it, and our recommendations for improvements to place fans' interests in **their** clubs at the heart of the game

🔜 Jimmy Dickinson statue unveiled
It’s going to be a special day at Fratton Park,
#Pompey
fans.
Join us at midday to see the unveiling, or enjoy the statue on your way to/from the game any time after that.
The PST is deeply saddened by the expulsion of Bury from the EFL and calls for stronger regulation of football club and their owners and expresses its hope that Pompey and its owners will support this call.

As boardroom steward, John gave many years service to the club he loved and everyone who met him was privileged to be in his company.
Fratton Park will be an emptier place without him.
RIP John. We will miss you.
The Pompey Supporters Trust is tonight mourning the passing of club legend Ron Saunders. Ron played in 236 league fixtures between 1958 and 1964, scoring 145 goals. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family. RIP.
As you can see, the PST shareholder ‘Wall of Fame’ boards have been repaired and are back up at Fratton Park. Thank you once again to each and every one of the
#Pompey
fans named on them for your role in saving the club - it will never be forgotten.
Caring for
#Pompey
supporters is for life, not just for Christmas. That’s why we’re pleased to be providing free hot drinks for our disabled supporters at every home game now, following our Boxing Day initiative
On a wet and windy day like this, it’s often our disabled supporters who are most exposed to the weather. Members of the PST board were on hand with free mince pies and coffees at half time today to help warm them up. Merry Christmas to them and to every
#Pompey
fan from the PST
Solidarity with Rebecca and other female supporters, who shouldn’t have to put up with this. We all share a responsibility to make football a safe, inclusive and welcoming sport for every fan.
#HerGameToo
'I'm a woman who loves football. Is it wrong, am I a bad person? So why the abuse?'
@rebzeleanor
has suffered vile treatment as a
#Pompey
fan and also working at football clubs for nine years. Now she's refusing to be the victim. Inspirational. 👏👏👏
And he didn't stop there, going on to help with the Tifosy campaign to fund pitches at the Academy and, after the sale of the club, re-donating the funds to
@PompeyWomen
.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to Steve's family and friends.
💙RIP Steve
