So what better way to enjoy Pompey in action than a trip down the pub with your mates to cheer on the Blues.
It’s a time-old traditional – and as John Mousinho’s side face another road trip on Tuesday with an away game at Cardiff, we’ve dipped into our photo archives to show you don’t always have to be at the match to have a good time following the Blues.
See if you can spot yourself or someone you might know from these images from around the 2008-10 era!
