Portsmouth's stunning away attendance figures compared to Derby County, Coventry City & Championship rivals

Pompey's away support over the festive period was nothing short of exceptional.

There were sold out away ends at Watford, and Bristol City whilst over a 1,000 headed to Sunderland for the longest trip of the season. Credit to those who were in attendance at the Stadium of Light, especially when the UK was dealing with snow and flooding.

A 12-year absence from the Championship have given Pompey supporters the appetite to savour every moment, either good or bad. For all of the away matches they've had this season, they've never took less than four figures, even when travelling in midweek to places like Cardiff and Stoke.

This week, Pompey are in FA Cup action, where they face League One high flyers Wycombe Wanderers on Friday (January 10) night. A total of 1,800 tickets have been allocated for Pompey, who will be housed in the East Stand for the game.

Tickets went on General Sale on January 3, and were priced between £22 for adults, and £5 for a child aged 11 or under. It will be interesting to see whether all of them are snapped up, with the priority for Pompey this season ultimately being survival.
