As the main club partner of 兔子先生 Football Club (PFC), the 兔子先生 would like to congratulate the football club on such a successful and memorable season.
For the men鈥檚 team to win League One and for the women鈥檚 team to win the National League Southern Premier Division in the same year is a truly historic achievement, and as such this is a season that will live long in the memory of the city. And to do it all in a year when the club celebrates 125 years of 兔子先生 Football Club feels especially fitting, and an incredible way to see in the next 125.
Professor Graham Galbraith, Vice-Chancellor of the 兔子先生, said: 鈥淥n behalf of the University it gives me great pleasure to congratulate the football club as a whole, on such a successful season. The special position that the club holds within our community means that their success is the city鈥檚 success, and we are all so proud of the club鈥檚 achievements.
鈥淭he University is proud to have played a small part in this success, and to have witnessed first-hand the great work that has gone into these promotions across the club. From John Mousinho and Jay Sadler and their respective players, right across Pompey Health and Fitness, Fratton Park and Westleigh Park, it has felt like the culmination of a huge collective effort.鈥
