I'm obviously disappointed Pompey lost out, as our fans have achieved miracles over the last few years and we now have the biggest Community Club in the UK. Having said that, I think The City Ground/Trent Bridge/Meadow Lane area is one of the best locations in the country to watch sport. PS I'm delighted that Manchester with its two massive foreign-owned clubs, supported by armchair fans, also missed out.

Depends what the criteria is. But for starters Derby is much more of a football town as Brian Clough himself said.

as well as having the first written code and the oldest club.
Perhaps the Notts County and Brian Clough things swung it.
A new hope.

not as miraculous as what happened in Chesterfield over a decade before mate.
We had other clubs wanting us expelled from the football league, the media being less than pro active - remember Harry Harris? (No of course you don't. Why would fans of a big club like Pompey on the way to the top flight care about a small lower league club?) and even a member of parliament called for us to be expelled.
You had a lot of goodwill from all areas of sport and government in your fight for survival, We had hostility.
Where was the Pompey trusts support in 2001/02? that's right, lapping it up on the way to the premier division with the snouts in the trough.
Don't come on here all holier than though about community clubs mate
A new hope.
