Whether it's the traditions of a Blues fan, superstitions or something specific to our pilgrimages to PO4 these are the things which make our visits to Fratton Park what we are.
We've taken our list of what you've offered on the subject over the years and updated with your latest thoughts on the subject to come up with 16 very Pompey rituals around a home game.
9. Over land and sea...
It's not just from Portsea Isand fans make their matchday pilgrimages. Some come from much, much further afield - including overseas. Things can get a little trickier if good results have been picked when any diversions or particularly stopovers took place, with the superstitious then needing to repeat them for fear of being culpable for a negative result! | The News
10. Avoid bet regret
It's a part of the matchday ritual for fans all over the country - and the Fratton faithful are no different. Craft a perfect six-fold and then bemoan the fact you put Pompey in and they let you down. Again. 'One day, Rodney, we'll be millionaires'... Photo: UGC
11. 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. | The News
12. 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
