John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood could be banned from Fratton Park

POMPEY are threatening to ban their most famous fan, it has been claimed.
John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood - he changed his name by deed poll - could be banned from Fratton Park for persistent standing and ringing his bell constantly during matches.
In a statement from the Football Supporters Federation, Mr Westwood said: “We want to make as much noise as possible in support of our Club. Playing instruments sitting down is not an option and singing is far more natural standing up. After all you stand for hymns in church and for the National Anthem, even in football grounds.”
It is claimed that during the last few games at Fratton Park, Mr Westwood and his followers have remained seated, while normal fans around them continue to stand.
Mr Westwood, who runs a bookshop in Petersfield, claims he was written to by Portsmouth FC warning him that the Safety Advisory Group considered him to blame for hundreds of fans standing at the ground.
He is easily recognised by his blue wigs, numerous Portsmouth tattoos and bright blue clothing which leaves his chest exposed, regardless of the weather.
Portsmouth FC have declined to comment on the matter.

You guys don't have any famous supporters do you, oh sorry, there is that morbidly obese guy who takes up about 8 seats. You must be so proud...

razy??? (chuckle).
To be honest....I respect John....even if he is from the dark side. His dedication to his club is admirable. His fun appearance represents Pompey (down & out)and shouldn't be banned.
I watched a "You Tube" clip of him and he's alright and quite a clever guy too.....it surprised me.
Southampton Forever!!!.

The bloke needs sorting out, but singling him out for standing is a bit harsh as he's not the only one! Absolute moron though, I was at Burnley a few weeks ago he turns up with 20 minutes to go - inside Out followed him and he spent the entire game in the local pub - true fan? No! p*ss head? yes

I could not help notice that if you zoom in on his top hat it's a red and white hat with a tea cosy on top.. Cheap skate probably nicked it.
Also couldn't help notice the similarity to Avram Grant

The skates have one famous fan while we have Saints legends such as Channon, Keegan, Le Tissier, etc. What legends do they have

I hope Pompey ban J.W from F.P because then he has spare time to get some councilling on his alcoholism.
Tuesday Pompey will 9 feet under, see what I did there.

I was just told from a reliable source that Rupert Lowe never liked it when the Saints fans used to stand. Sounds kinda simplier don't you think two clubs who were in fiancial problems. I hope Pompey ban J.W from F.P because then he has spare time to get some councilling on his alcoholism. Tuesday Pompey will 9 feet under, see what I did there.
