Gosport Borough

The last pre season game for Pompey this year is at Privett Park home of Gosport Borough and I will be going. I don't know what team Pompey will put out but I don't care, it's a lovely ground at Gosport and I'm looking forward to it.

A bit about Gosport.


Gosport Borough Football Club are a semi-professional football club based in Gosport, England. They were founded just two weeks after the D-Day landings in 1944 (as Gosport Borough Athletic Club) in an initiative to bring back organised football, athletics, swimming and cycling to the town of Gosport after a break of several years.
In their first season (1944-45), the football section of the Club won the Portsmouth and District League Division 1 under the guidance of former Southampton F.C. player, Stan Cribb. The line-up at that time included Jimmy Scoular and Peter Harris who both went on to become full internationals.
For their second season, the club were accepted into the Hampshire League and won the Division 1 title at their first attempt. This feat was not repeated for thirty-one seasons despite being a major force in Hampshire football during that period.
