Hi Chris ,do you think there will be any old Portsmouth Football newspapers there also scrapbooks covering the 57/58 and 58/59 that I have a particular interest in.

There are no plans to hold a History Day and Programme Fair at Portsmouth FC at the present time. I am not sure where this story started but neither Mick Hall, the current organiser, or Chris Gibbs, the previous organiser, have any plans to hold one.
There are several History related 'Pompey History Society' events planed, but no Fairs. Chris Gibbs.

My apologies Chris - I was told this by a friend last week who is a long standing Pompey fan and collector. Clearly he was mistaken.
