    It may have been the highest attendance for several years?
    I think Pompey beat it against Bradford the following season.
    No matter what; it was a great time following the Reds

    I was in the other corner between the Ponty and Brewery stands. Missed the KO due to queues to get in and Brewery stand was packed so settled for behind corner flag. Even without a roof the Atmosphere was amazing

    Yes my usual spot was the Brewery ,but settled for the corner between Ponty and West stand where you could stand at that time.

    Absolutely brilliant that, I had forgotten about the players in the directors box ,throwing their shirts out to the fans.
    And most importantly, I had forgotten we beat the league Champions to win promotion.
    But this seems like a distant memory.
    God I'm getting old .

    Was the club fined for those terrible scenes of the pitch invasion by hooligans.
    Anyone on here admitting to invading the pitch that day?

    I like the comment ‘I’ll just let the pictures tell the tale’. What pictures - somebody put 50p in the electric meter please. Great times.
