Pompey?

Bravehart3 · Jan 26, 2004

I've have been trying to find out why Portsmouth has the nickname of Pompey. What does it mean, how did they get it? Can any one fill me in?

Is it true Mandaric owned the SJ Earthquakes in 1974?

Because they're crap! **grin**

OK, that's not really why. And as much as I dislike them, I hope they pull off staying in the top flight for a few years.
