If you've been following this blog you will recall that I thought it would be interesting to track the story of Portsmouth FC during 2012 on a day-to-day basis through those tweeting using the hashtag #Pompey.
When I started on January 1st 2012 it seemed like quite a good idea - but I wasn't sure if I would be able to see it through the month let alone the year!
Well, the story continues and it's time to move on to the tweets from August. Enjoy.
Previous Months
You can see the #Pompey tweets from January by clicking on the link below where you can also read a little bit more about my thoughts at the start of this project. I've changed my approach to this since the start with such a rich vein of tweets on the #Pompey timeline. Originally I planned to pick a few tweets each day but I quickly changed that as the story unfolded.
