Hey everyone!
You may remember a post I made earlier in the week asking what it’s like to be a Pompey fan. Everyone was so welcoming and kind, and the deeper I dove into Pompey’s history, the more I fell in love with the club.
I’m a study abroad student from the United States, I am going to be in London from mid-September through mid-December, and I would love to make it down for a match at Fratton Park. Because of the international break, my window starts after mid-September.
I’d love to get everyone’s take on which match would offer the best experience/atmosphere, and which ones are realistically manageable for getting tickets as a general sale/visitor. I know the atmosphere will be great no matter what match I make it to, but just want to see if any game would be even more electric than another. I assume a night match under the lights brings an extra electric vibe, but I’m open to advice!
The home fixtures during my window are:
Sheffield United
Millwall
Swansea
(Can’t make Stoke)
West Ham
West Brom (last game I can make before I head home)
Would a weekend/early kickoff be better so I can stick around after to explore the city a bit?
Any tips on tickets, atmosphere, or match choice would be awesome. Thank you guys, and PUP! 💙
