How far will Portsmouth's fans travel to Bristol?
The driving distance between the cities is 121 miles (195km) and it should take around 2 hours for any travelling supporter no matter if they opt to make the journey by train, car, or using the organised coach transport.
The drive is very enjoyable and offers some lovely views so anyone who wants to relax their nerves before the roller-coaster of emotions that are certain once inside the stadium can do so by taking in the scenery on the way to Bristol.
Bristol Rovers vs Portsmouth: Tickets
We can confirm that over 20 days ago Portsmouth sold out all of their allocated tickets. This means that for any fan of the Pompey that still looks to gain an entry to the stadium the only option is to look online for a resale. Act with caution if you do that, please! These days there are many counterfeit tickets for resale online.
Our understanding is that Bristol Rovers have also sold out all their tickets, so the game is set to be played in front of a sold-out crowd.
