Sheffield Wednesday ‘should be ashamed’ as Portsmouth fans hit out
Portsmouth are set to take on Sheffield Wednesday in a crucial game for their survival hopes, but fans are already furious.
Pompey’s trip to Hillsborough will be their final away trip of the Championship season, and will take place on April 26.
John Mousinho’s side are four points clear of the relegation zone, and this could be the game which makes or breaks their survival hopes if they continue their winless run.
However, weeks before the fixture is set to take place, Portsmouth fans are up in arms at a decision made by the home club with regard to ticket prices.
Portsmouth fans furious at Sheffield Wednesday ticket prices
Sheffield Wednesday have now announced that adult ticket prices for their clash with Portsmouth will be set at £36, which has caused uproar among the Pompey faithful.
36 pound. What a joke.

Fans are also furious that they have been given an allocation of just 2,400 supporters for what is likely to be a highly in-demand fixture, and other clubs have been given more in the past.
| Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | Goals | Conceded | Points | Position |
| Portsmouth | 42 | 12 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 66 | 46 | 19th |
This means that tickets will be well in-demand, and clearly Sheffield Wednesday have realised this by marking up their prices for it.
only 2400?????

With Portsmouth dragged back into the relegation battle after their poor run of recent form, fans are rightfully furious at the treatment they will receive at Sheffield Wednesday.
Portsmouth could face crucial fixture away at Sheffield Wednesday
Portsmouth have just four games remaining in the Championship this season, but their poor form has seen them remain in the relegation fight.
Mousinho’s side are now four points clear of Cardiff as they sit in 19th place, but a few more negative results could leave them dangerously close to the drop.
Portsmouth have failed to win their last three games, and they fumbled a good chance to secure survival long before the final weeks of the season.
A win at Sheffield Wednesday could maintain their four-point gap depending on other results, and should this be the case, then this game could be the one where Portsmouth secure survival.
