I'LL try again Pompey - but if it goes on for too long again I will delete and give up.....

There are theories which contend that the derivation of Pompey is of naval origin. It has been suggested that Pompey was used for Portsmouth long before the existence of the Portsmouth Football Club. It is possible to trace the probable origin of the name back to 1797, at the time of the famous Spithead mutiny. Some of the vessels implicated were: Terrible, Queen Charlotte, Glory, Duke, Defiance, Ramilles and the Pompee. Of these the Pompee was the most actively concerned in the whole proceedings. One story goes that two delegates from each ship were invited to assemble on board La Pompee at Portsmouth -- and two drunken seamen were arrested in London, evidently delegates from the Nore. They were capable of asserting little else than that they were going to Pompey -- and it is probable that all mutinous seamen at that time referred to their delegates as being at Pompey and possibly therefore the entire nation came to think in terms of Pompee rather than of Portsmouth and sailors, with their innate love of nicknames, were disinclined to cease the practice. In this way the two names became synonymous
