Pompey fans are showing their force as they aim to roar their side to the Championship.

After the memorable wall of noise carried their side over the line at Fratton Park against Oxford United last weekend, 2,115 fans travelled to the north west for the 0-0 draw with Blackpool yesterday.

Chants of ‘we are top of the league’ rang around Blackpool’s home along with the Pompey Chimes, as Mousinho’s men reciprocated their appreciation.
