10 superb images that capture Portsmouth faithful’s loyalty as 1,517 travel to witness 2-1 defeat at hands of Cheltenham: gallery

On Pompey's last visit to Cheltenham Town's Whaddon Road, the Pompey fans' only complaint was the record temperatures. After a Colby Bishop double set up a 2-0 win on August 13, 2022, how quickly the ice in any cold drinks melted was their only gripe! Indeed, the only meltdown at a cold, wintry Whaddon Road this time around was the social media reaction to the result[1].

Although, in fairness, that can be forgiven as Pompey's lead at the top of the table looks increasingly insecure. They'll return disappointed with how today's game unfolded - but this is Pompey, where taking the rough with the smooth is part 'n' parcel of supporting this great club. So in typical style, here's our favourite fans' images as the Fratton faithful continue to get behind their team - something that's needed right at this moment in time!

The trip to Whaddon Road was the travelling Pompey faithful's third away game in 12 days.
