Around 1,600 travelling Wednesdayites will make the trip to Portsmouth on Saturday March 11 expectant of another positive result against one of their fellow big boys in the division – both in terms of club ambition and size of fan base.

It was confirmed on Tuesday that the away end at Fratton Park had been sold out in typically double-quick time – with Owls fans asked not to travel unless they have a ticket secured.

Dependent on safety regulations around seating, it could well be that the Wednesday sell-out registers as Pompey’s biggest crowd of the season so far, with the current figure standing at the 19,009 that watched them draw 2-2 with fellow South Coast Plymouth Argyle back in September.
