19/12/2011 HATVENT CALENDAR: POMPEY TRAFFIC WARDEN!

POMPEYCHICKEN'S HAT OF THE DAY
Today's hat is a bit like the away strip that WBA wore back in 1994 when they visited Fratton Park on the last day of the season needing a win to stay up in the First Division of The Endsleigh League (which they duely delivered). Well, let's put it this way...the green part of the hat is (LOL!). See Bonus Video below for more.

Why the link between today's hat and WBA? Well, today's Pompey Video was taken after the FA Cup Semi-Final at Wembley in 2008 against WBA when one Pompey fan improvises to control the flow of traffic.

It leads to a hilarious 30 seconds, look out for the comedy walks of the two Pompey fans who cross the road one way and then back again and the little jig at the very end.

The camera man and other fans laughing in the background just adds to a classic moment.

Enjoy!
