How did the pompey chimes come about?
Answers:
Origins of the "Pompey Chimes"
Surprisingly enough, 'The Chimes' origin lies not with the Navy but with the Army - the Royal Artillery to be precise.
The RA were the forerunners of PFC and played many of their home games at the United Services ground in Burnaby Road; well within earshot of the town hall clock. The clock would strike the quarter hours and in those days the referee would rely on the clock to let them know when the match should finish (4 o'clock). At two or three minutes to four the crowd would lilt in unison the chimes of the hour to remind the referee to blow his whistle.
The original words to The Chimes, as printed in the 1900/01 official handbook of Portsmouth FC, were:
Play up Pompey.
Just one more goal!
Make tracks! What ho!
Hallo! Hallo!'
I'm in Pompey (southsea)
