Pompey may well be heading towards Division Two but are likely to have close to a full house for their final home game of the season against Sheffield United tomorrow.
It is the first league game since the Pompey Supporters Trust effectively sealed control of the club for the fans and as a result what could have been the despair of a second successive relegation has turned to the joy of knowing the club’s destiny is back in safe hands.
The rebuilding job for next season starts from tomorrow and Manager Guy Whittingham will be looking at all his players with a fresh eye and deciding who will be right for the new campaign next August.
However the game is just as important for Sheffield United – who are likely to have a large following at Fratton Park – because they are still keen to grab one of the automatic promotion spots or at least seal their place in the play-offs.
Pompey old boy Dave Kitson – a real Marmite player for Pompey fans during his time on the south coast with some people big fans and others not convinced – has been firing in the goals for the Blades and has 12 this season.
