Arsenal host another "category A" team in West Ham and our record versus their form, strong relegation fight and us not doing them for years will throw up an interesting clash. We hope you can join us in The Rocket for a pre-match drink in the warmest possible company.
A big fixture beforehand sees Spurs travel to Stamford Bridge all over again with the kick off at 12:45 (like that'll mean less nail-riddled baseball bats!). It's hard to say what we want from this one as Spurs have won six league games on the bounce and are getting uncomfortably close to us whereas Chelsea beating them could still see them win the league at our place. The maths still makes it feasible. Of the possibilities available, I'm opting for a freak typhoon of some kind. Please, Jebus, let it happen! Anyway, we have a vested interest in the outcome of this and if you want to catch the game on the big screen, do pop in. Our doors open at midday.
We will have more news on the two big events in May - Fancy Pompey and the end of season party after the Chelsea game. Finally, we have a unique red "Groves" T-Shirt signed by …….Perry Groves up for raffle! Tickets are £1 each available for sale on Saturday and the draw will be made at the Fulham game. As per usual, we will make a donation to the Willow Foundation following the draw.
The Rocket: Please note that due to the entry policy in place, no under-14s will be admitted. 14-17 year-olds must be accompanied by an adult. Home fans with any type of home memberships/tickets are welcome as are their guests!
The Rocket is open every weekend home match. At present, it will not be available for weekday matches. The address is 166-220 Holloway Rd, N7 8DB (opposite Paddy Power and five mins walk from the ground).
