Coventry City v Portsmouth

[Crusader]

So today the new football season started here in England and I thought I'd share some pictures and videos so those unfamiliar with the sport can have a feel of what it's like

So a bit of info about the match.



Portsmouth have been having a lot of money issues and were put into administration last season which caused them to have 9 points ducted from them and they were relegated.



Coventry (the team I support) took the lead quite early on in the game, it was a simple tap in and the goalkeeper didn't exactly help himself as it went through his legs XD Because of Portsmouth's situation they only had 15 players in their whole squad as they have had to sell players to help pay off their debt. You could tell their team was stretched from the lack of players they had available to them, this shown in the second half when Freddy Eastwood scored his second to secure the points for Coventry.



And here is the photos I took and videos to give a feel of the atmosphere. Not a great deal going on because I was involved in watching the game so I didn't record much.

Videos are great Chris! I can't see the pictures as they are huge, taking forever to download and blowing out my margins

Doesn't the forum auto resize them? It does for me

Works for me, though it did take a little while...

Probably just my computer as it's old and slow (dial up connection).

They are resized after they are fully loaded. If its a large file, then it will take a while before they shrink down to normal size depending on the person's internet connection.
