Dont Jump Jimmy Ware - Radio Victory Pompey Portsmouth Football Promotion 1980

"Don't Jump, Jimmy Ware" is a novelty song associated with a bet made by Radio Victory DJ Jim Ware. The story goes that Jim Ware, in a moment of enthusiasm and confidence, declared that he would jump off South Parade Pier in Portsmouth if Portsmouth FC did not achieve promotion. This kind of publicity stunt was typical of radio personalities looking to engage their audience and show support for local teams.
When Portsmouth FC did indeed secure promotion, Jim Ware honoured his pledge anyway , and the event garnered considerable local attention. Capitalising on this moment, a novelty song titled "Don't Jump, Jimmy Ware" was released to commemorate the occasion. The song was light-hearted and aimed at capturing the spirit of the event, the excitement of the promotion, and the charismatic persona of Jim Ware.
The exact details of the song, such as the artist or the specifics of the lyrics, might not be widely documented, as it was a localised novelty hit rather than a mainstream release but was released under the name "The Blues and written by Paul K. jones on J.M Records.
However, it remains a fond memory for those who were part of the Portsmouth community and listeners of Radio Victory at the time.
