Meanwhile, Pompey are closing in on 4,000 tickets sold for the Easter Monday trip to Notts County.

Tickets for the remaining game at Mansfield do not go on sale until next week, with the visitors allocated 1,500 seats.

Currently eight points clear with five matches remaining, Paul Cook’s men are locked in on automatic promotion.

And ticket sales reflect how the Fratton faithful are determined not to miss a minute of a potentially glorious end to the campaign.
