Portsmouth FC DSA provide poncho protection

Wycombe Wanderers will be forever associated with the abandoned game at Fratton Park in 2013 when the heavens opened.

So it was apt that Pompey's Disabled Supporters Association used the same fixture this year to distribute rain protection to disabled fans.

As it was, the weather was fine for the game this time around. But more than 100 ponchos were still given out to fans and their carers to ensure that in future, the worst of the weather can be kept at bay as they follow the Blues from the front of the Fratton End.
