Being a Pompey fan is a unique experience - as we all know!
And following the Blues on a matchday brings a string of events very particular to following our club.
While there are certain things football fans of all persuasions will have in common, Pompey’s identity means there are various distinctions we all know about.
We’ve wrapped up some of those well-known rituals and rites of passages the Fratton faithful go through - with some new additions in recent weeks...

9. 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...) | The News

10. Murder at 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 | The News

11. 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. | The News

12. Miked up
It's a matchday morning, you're getting your gear on and ready to see what the day has to offer. What's the soundtrack? Mike Oldfield, of course! You can't beat a bit of Portsmouth and, if you're feeling proper Pompey then go for some Shep Woolley and Pompey Rock, too! | The News
