LIVE Pompey v Millwall
More details
Appears the ongoing intermittent power and issues about getting fans in and out safely were key factors in the postponement.
Announcement confirms postponement
A stadium announcement says the game is off ‘due to circumstances beyond the club’s control’.
No sign of a game getting underway anytime soon here
And the longer this goes on it feels the game is less likely to go ahead.
Lights coming back in the stands
South Stand and Milton now seems to have power. Fratton End and North Stand still dark, however.
No official development
The game certainly now looks playable, a conceivable issue for no official announcement could be over the game finishing late and then getting fans - particularly the Millwall fans transported back to London.
Awaiting further updates
The last announcement was literally to say there would be another annoucement
Match in doubt
A power cut at Fratton Park has thrown Pompey’s clash with Millwall into doubt.
The Championship match has been delayed with it due to kick-off at 7.45pm, after a mains power issue.
That took place 10 minutes before kick-off with a stadium announcement confirming the problem, but no estimation of when it will be resolved.
Bishop starts
Bishop in for his first start since heart surgery. Yengi goes out of the squad after picking up a knee injury on international duty. It’s believed the issue isn’t too bad, but will confirm with John Mousinho after. Silvera also out of the squad with Blair and Sorensen coming on to the bench.
