Ticket sales for Portsmouth's Wembley return against Salford reach another incredible landmark

The Fratton faithful have snapped up more than 35,000 seats in less than 24 hours for the EFL Trophy final against Salford on Sunday, April 5.

It's another remarkable achievement, meaning roughly 70 per cent of the Blues’ 50,300 capacity have now gone.

After just five hours of going on sale yesterday, more than 30,000 were sold.

Kenny Jackett’s side are aiming to retain the silverware they won at the national stadium last season.

Pompey beat Sunderland on penalties after the exciting final finished 2-2 following extra-time. On that occasions, more than 42,000 Blues fans made the trip to the capital.

League Two side Salford have been handed an initial allocation of 3,000.
