Just got home. Story of our season tbh. Didn't play that well but somehow still came out with the three points and the title. Appreciate the kind posts from the posters here. Bolton drew again so hopefully you guys will be joining us next season. You deserve it.

Think Portsmouth and Derby going up is the best result judging the season as a whole. Both too big for this league anymore. Hopefully the draw we gave Bolton today (tbh they could be right to feel bad not to take all three points) will be enough to get you guys over the line. Good result for you guys. Hopefully see you in the championship next season.

Probably the best away support I’ve seen at Fratton park this season. Draw was probably a fair result and I’d have taken that if you offered it to me before the game. Safe journey back gents if you’re heading back tonight. I have a four hour plus drive to Norfolk now 🤣🙊.

Decided to read through the thread after hearing the inspiring albeit sad tale of your recently passed young supporter. This post popped out. Year after year we’ve had close calls with promotion and have thrown it away. Even now with the lead we have I won’t believe we are promoted until it’s mathematically safe. After hearing the story about B4 I genuinely hope it’s Pompy and Derby who go up in the automatics. What a fitting tribute that would be for someone who was obviously well loved by this forum and had a good heart.

Thats class. Pompy it is then 👌.

Pompy? 🤣 I was reading a few of the earlier posts in this thread. Thought after their strong start Oxford would be up there challenging for the automatic places and they just fell apart. Funny how much can happen over a season.

That siding bridge is one of the reasons we can’t expand the capacity of the stadium! Apparently any additional capacity needs to include provisions for better links to the train station. That and a huge ass electrical substation right next to where any expansion would go that needs shifting as well to the tune of millions.

Ah. Yes. Fratton Park is only just shy of 21k. We have a very loyal fan base and as you’d expect tickets go fast. As someone who doesn’t live down south anymore even I struggle to get tickets at the moment. You guys have great support so it’s a shame more couldn’t come but I’m sure you’ll be more than a match when it comes to volume levels! Even though I’m nervous about our game I’m looking forward to the atmosphere. I am with you though on away ticket issues. One of my frustrations this season is being unable to get away tickets due to uptake and as I’m not in Portsmouth I don’t have a season ticket. If we do go up one of my biggest pluses is the ability to go to bigger grounds where hopefully more away tickets will be available. We took 4K to London Road today and could have sold more. You’d have thought we were the home team! I’ve never been to Pride Park before but looks like a fantastic stadium and atmosphere based on what I saw from your game vs Bolton today. Derby is pretty much a “home game” for me being up this end so hopefully we both get to go up and I get to visit your ground as it’s one I’ve wanted to for a while.

Great result for both of us today. You guys deserve to go up with such amazing support. I honestly can’t wait until we meet in April. The atmosphere is going to be electric with our fans on good form and yours as well who never disappoint. I think we both go up in the automatic promotion places it’s now down to who wins the league. We are blighted by injuries at the moment so I’m nervous for our match and if we play like we did today we could be facing a drubbing. I’m from Pompey originally but live in the midlands now so I’m pissed by the change to an evening game like I imagine many here are as well. Best of luck for the rest of the season.
