This weekend gave me a chance to see my first Port away game of the season, and also see the brand new Nong Bua Pitchaya stadium. My friend Gary had driven up from Roi Et, and with Udon Thani being the nearest big city with an airport, I opted to fly up and […]
Game of the Season A few games into Choke’s reign and I was wondering what had really changed since Jadet was (again) sent upstairs, but Chiang Rai in the FA Cup made me a convert. A totally dominant first half saw us play the Champions elect off the park with a “False […]
Port made it to their first FA Cup final in ten years at the expense of perennial bogey team Bangkok United, but as always with Port, things were not easy, on what had been a surprisingly clean run through to the semis. The decision to move the match from Police Tero’s tiny 4,500 […]

Police Tero had seemingly become the latest “struggling” club to dispose of their coach* after a slow start and despite some shows of defensive frailty in the second half against Air Force, Port had put in a great showing of free-flowing […]
