| Match Summary | Fans flock to the first Sunday game at Fratton, ensuring the biggest gate since Arsenal in 1971, including several thousand visitors. Orient, with just one away defeat so far, live dangerously but Pompey rely on Milkins to make two fine stops from Brisley early on, then again at the death. |
