Portsmouth Preview

Saturday sees Oxford United take on Portsmouth in the first home league game of the season.

TICKET UPDATE

It's looking like a bumper crowd for the first home league game with the away area already sold out and United fans backing Pep Clotet's new look side in numbers.

Some areas of the ground are close to selling out so fans are advised to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Because the away seats are all sold it's also worth reminding supporters that home tickets are only being sold to fans already on the OUFC database. These are available from oufctickets.co.uk and 01865 337533 as well as in person.

Because checks will need to be made when people buy tickets on Saturday this is likely to be time consuming and we ask fans to arrive early or to book in advance - order online and print at home to avoid the queues.

Tickets are also available in the new shop in the Covered Market.

Fans are reminded that due to the segregation fence they will not be able to walk from end to end behind the North Stand.

DOUBLE HEADER

It's a double Pompey day on Saturday. Not only are the first team at home to them but the youth team are also playing Portsmouth at home on the same day. Fresh from an opening day win at Cheltenham, the under 18s welcome Portsmouth to Northcourt Road, the home of Abingdon United, with an 11am kick off.

Entry is free: why not take in two games between the same two clubs on the same day?
