Matchday Guide: Pompey v Cheltenham

Read about the activities happening around the ground on Saturday

24 February 2023

Pompey are back in action when they take on Cheltenham at Fratton Park on Saturday (3pm kick-off).

And there is plenty going on around the ground to get everyone in the mood for the big game.

Fanzone & Refreshments
Our DJ will be spinning the decks and getting everyone pumped ahead of kick-off, while younger fans can enjoy fun games courtesy of Pompey in the Community.

Supporters will also see a banner in the north-west corner of the ground for the fan-led fundraising campaign to build a statue of Jimmy Dickinson. This will include a QR code where you can donate or alternatively you can visit the crowdfunding page.

The shipping container behind the Fratton End will be serving chicken strips, chips, brisket-loaded fries and – a brand new addition – pizza fries.

Meanwhile, pizza and Moretti is available from the kiosk four mezzanine in the North Stand, with burgers available in kiosks three (North Stand) and kiosk 11 (South Stand)

The Victory Bar – which can also be accessed after the game – shipping container and external North Stand kiosk will all be open from midday.

Our delicious guest pie available to buy in the Victory Bar on Saturday will be chicken, gammon and leek.

Please note that only supporters seated in the Fratton End will have access to the container bar at half-time.

The early bird special of a pie and a pint for just £7.95 (or pie and a soft drink for £6) is available from when the turnstiles open at 1.30pm until 2pm.

We are continuing to trial the ‘beer token’ system in the North Stand. They are available from kiosks three and five, which have express queues, but can also be redeemed in any of the regular kiosk queues in the North Stand.

Supporters in the North Lower should note that if the bars/kiosks get congested, there are more available in the North Upper.

There are freshly baked pies and sausage rolls available in kiosks across the stadium, as well as gingerbread Pompey shirts.

Listen out for the ‘Lucky Row’ winners on Saturday, with some supporters winning free pizza courtesy of our friends at Domino’s.

Unite for Access
Pompey are backing Level Playing Field’s ‘Unite for Access’ campaign to raise awareness of accessibility issues for disabled football fans. Click here for more information.

Our successful Pompey amputees side will also be present on Saturday and will greet fans at half-time.

And a bucket collection is taking place for PitC’s ‘Pompey Pedals’ initiative, which is a free scheme that uses specially adapted bikes and equipment to allow families to cycle together.

Tickets
There is extremely limited ticketing still available and fans can click here to secure their seat.

Anyone who cannot attend the game will be able to listen to all the action live on iFollow, while those based overseas can watch the game.
