Some may be events and habits those across the football family will know all about.
But there, of course, are many shared rites of passage which are very particular to having royal blue in your veins.
We’ve asked you for those moments which make up your gameday time-table – and, as ever, you’ve delivered in brilliant fashion.
9. Pine for the Sports Mail
Life just isn't the same for Pompey fans without the Sports Mail. Race to the newsagents at 6.30pm, pore over Mike Neasom's purple prose, dissect the results and tables on the back page and, if you were lucky, catch your name in the parks reports. Bliss. Photo: -
10. Fume at the Eastern Road
Heading south on the Eastern Road any time in the afternoon on a matchday? Don't expect to head anywhere quickly. (Hint: it's always quicker finding a way through the side streets in town...). Photo: IH
11. Murder a Mick's
Mick's! Mick's! My kingdom for a Mick's! A Portsmouth institution and a popular stop-off for those making their way to Fratton from off the island. A shame the Mick's burger bar isn't at the ground anymore, but well worth a trip up Portsdown Hill. If not a stumble to Shirin's in Kingston Road can soak up the booze after a game. Photo: -
12. Fratton's famous facade
The mock-Tudor facade at the end of Frogmore Road is indisputably Fratton. Milling around under its iconic beams and catching up on the Blues gossip has been a matchday staple for generations of fans. Photo: Steve Bardens
