POMPEY are set to face Bury in the semi-final of the Checkatrade Trophy with a place at Wembley up for grabs.
But how many other times have the Blues been in semi-finals throughout the club's history and how have they fared? Note – we haven’t included semi-finals from wartime competitions (London War Cup Final) or Hampshire Senior Cup.
Pompey in semi-finals
Pompey made it to the 1939 FA Cup semi-final where they faced Huddersfield Town at Highbury. Portsmouth won 2-1 and went on to lift the trophy beating Wolves 4-1 in the final in April 1939. Picture: H. F. Davis/Topical Press Agency/Getty Images
