Find out how the Pompey 125 book was produced and support the Pompey History Society
Posted on 13th Mar 2024 by David Taylor
Editor Colin Farmery and designer Ellis Hampton are going to unveil how the critically-acclaimed 125th anniversary history of Portsmouth FC was produced at a special talk at Fratton Park later this month.
The book sold out its limited 1898 print run in just a couple weeks last autumn and the 424-page tome is now widely accepted now as the definitive history of the club.
Ellis and Colin will be in conversation with Chris Perry – one of the club’s creative writers in residence for the 125th season – at the Warrior Lounge on Monday March 25 (7pm-9pm).
There will also be a question and answer session, open to the floor, and Colin will also be revealing more details of a revised and updated paperback version of the book, which is scheduled to be published in August.
The event is free for members of the Pompey History Society and £6 for non-members. Membership of the society can be purchased on the night for £10 annually.
The society is a registered charity with the twin remits of preserving the club’s archive and sharing it with the wider public.
