We are the Lucky Charm for Portsmouth FC

Gig Buddies Portsmouth have some members who are big fans of the local football club, Portsmouth FC, so we collaborated with a local not for profit, Pompey in the Community, and were given some tickets to attend games against Lincoln City and AFC Wimbledon.

We were lucky enough to meet Nelson, the Pompey Mascot and took a trip to the training ground to meet the players and Manager, Kenny Jackett. So far we have proven to be a lucky charm with Pompey winning both games we have attended.

Our Gig Buddies are incredibly grateful for the opportunity given us by Pompey in the Community and the wonderful staff and players at the club. One of our Gig Buddies has decided to purchase a season ticket to watch the team each week next season and said: “It was awesome! I got to meet my favourite player and had my shirt signed by him.” All in all an incredibly positive experience which shows you can make your dreams a reality with a little help from your buddies! - Mike Harris, Gig Buddies Coordinator
