FA Cup: Portsmouth fans get up early to travel to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The early kick-off for the FA Cup third round tie against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium meant that a fleet of Lucketts coaches – with more than might be expected due to the rail strikes – left PO4 from 7am onwards.

The News was there to capture the anticipation of the fans hoping for a repeat of the 2010 semi-final when Pompey dumped Tottenham out of the cup.

Photographer Chris Moorhouse was there to capture the excited fans.
