Attending the ground, as an away fan from Leicester City FC continues to be the most dreadful experience. The stewards feel it is not offensive to have F... Off Leicester shouted at you for most of the game, the sight lines for whelchair users is so restricted, tickets ought to be given to the away wheelchair users. 3 women, Pompey supporters apparently, sit directly behind the wheelchair users and they are adament they will not move, even though their was plenty of seating for them to go into. One did, shortly after the game started, but only to suit herself, not the disabled supporters. It was a Pompey fan who required a better view of the pitch not a LCFC supporter. On discussing the issues with steward number 120 he agreed access could be provided at the away end, via a piece of metal fencing being removed. Unfortunately, this would then mean a walk round to toilet facilities. They have obviously not been to LEEDS in recent times. You can only access their toilets at half time, and have to be escorted around the length and breadth of the pitch. Come on, Portsmouth, do the right thing and make way for the disabled supporter with their fans. Sitting with your Pompey supporters was vile, you are right in the middle of it and there is no let up of foul abuse. I think it is time all other clubs joined together to complain about this dreadful situation, how about it?

I feel that Portsmouth FC need to revise their seating arrangements for visiting wheelchair users; Directly in front of the main home supporters stand could make for quite an uncomfortable, intimidating experience. Hoping to attend the Saints v Pompey game in December should be quite an experience.

Absolutely awful ground to visit as a disabled away fan. Wheelchair users sit in front of main home areas with home disabled fans too. Not enough room for PA to sit on their allocated seat behind you. Stewards/Press in sightline. Cannot see far touchline/goals as sitting below pitch level. Very few tickets available for away disabled supporters. Car parking was limited. No indepndent access to refreshment areas. As bad as QPR for numbers and associated facilities. 1 out of 10 (only gave it 1 because of a beautiful sunset!).

I am an ambulant supporter. There are too many steps for persons with walking disabilities. I asked the box office for a seat with few steps to walk, I was given x row away end and I still had loads to walk up to.
I also could not see, the supporters were standing up the full 90 mins. I cannot stand up, security saw this and moved me to the front row, but it was loads more steps to walk down to, but I saw the game.
I think portsmouth can do better for the ambulant person there must be seats in the ground with no steps to climb.
We appreciate any donations made to the charity
