Portsmouth v Southampton: Road closures in place as Pompey host derby clash at Fratton Park
A number of road closures will be in place around Fratton Park on Sunday (January 25) as Pompey gets ready to host Southampton for the return derby match.
Rodney Road will be completely closed to both vehicles and pedestrians both before and after the Championship game, which kicks off at midday, between the junctions of Anson Road and Velder Avenue - with additional closures also around the area. This is to allow for the arrival and exit of Saints fans who are being brought in via coaches.
Milton Lane and Specks Lane will also both be closed to home supporters both before and after the game, with fans in the North Stand arriving from the east of the stadium, told to walk parallel to the South Stand and through the FanZone behind the Fratton End to get to their turnstiles.
Only vehicles with a valid parking permit issued by the club will be allowed access to Anson Road, via Fratton Way, and access to the club shop and ticket office will be via Fratton Way or through the FanZone.
Both Alverstone Road and Vernon Avenue will also be closed after the game.
The FanZone and Victory Suite will be open for home supporters only from 9am, with turnstiles open from 10.30am. Supporters using the FanZone or Victory Suite from before the game are advised to enter via Victory South Gates on the south side of the ground.
