I remember when we got promoted in 2003. Promotion was sealed in a Tuesday night win over Burnley. Before the game there was a rather light hearted discussion on the old BBC 606 site about promotion songs. While I'm sure it didn't make it to the Fratton End, I recall some wag suggesting a song going to the tune of The Muppet Show. It's time to Play up Pompey It's time to get it right It's time to win promotion To the Premiership tonight Anyone remember that?
I must admit I don't know the Muppets theme. Also I wasn't a fan then, I was one of those glory supporters that became a fan during our premiership years. About 2005 to be precise. Though I do remember the old 606 forum. A forum that was literally closed at like 10pm at night, that's pretty bonkers when you think about it. Also I remember starting a thread in about 2006 which parodied a bunch of songs to make them reflect Portsmouth. One was hey Jude that became hey Harry, and there was a version of ordinary world and others I can't remember. Dunno if anyone remembers that thread. And it was on 606 that I became Pompeylapras. I can't remember the context but there was an incident when for some reason a bunch of us changed our names to various Pokemon. Which I carried to not606 but now they seem to have removed the functionality to change your user name so I'm stuck as Saint Lapras forever
