Blues Fans Travel Back in Time with Matchday Magazine
Celebrating Pompey’s 125th Anniversary
Blues fans attending home games this season have the opportunity to take a nostalgic trip back in time with a special matchday magazine. As Portsmouth Football Club celebrates its 125th anniversary, the covers of the magazines are inspired by programmes from throughout the club’s history. The aim is to pay homage to the rich heritage of the club and engage fans with the team’s past.
1980s Design for the Latest Issue
For the upcoming League One clash with Carlisle, the matchday magazine’s cover design harks back to the 1980s. This particular issue recalls the 1981/82 campaign, a season when both Portsmouth and Carlisle found themselves in the third tier of English football. The cover design serves as a nostalgic reminder of the club’s history and evokes memories of that era for long-time fans.
Exclusive Content
Inside the programme, readers can delve into a variety of exclusive content. An interview with Joe Rafferty provides insights into why everyone at the club is striving to remain grounded despite their recent success. Additionally, Marlon Pack, a key player for Portsmouth, shares his perspective on his teammates and their performance on the pitch. The programme also offers a closer look at the team’s opponents, Carlisle. Fans can find informative columns by Andrew Cullen, John Mousinho, and Pack, adding further depth to the reading experience.
Availability and Purchase Options
The matchday programme is available for purchase at the stadium for £3. Programme sellers can be found around the ground, ensuring easy access for all spectators. Additionally, a limited number of copies can be acquired from the club shop in Anson Road and the Victory Bar. For convenience, selected kiosks in the North (kiosk 5) and South Stand (kiosk 15) will also offer the programme. Away fans will find it available in the Milton End.
For those unable to attend the game, copies of the matchday programme can be purchased online from the club’s memorabilia store and delivered to their doorstep. Back issues are also available for those who wish to complete their collection or explore classic content from previous seasons.
Payment Options
It is important to note that, while programme sellers will have contactless payment devices, they will also accept cash payments for the time being. This temporary arrangement is in place as the club works to ensure a more reliable payment system. However, for programmes bought in the club shop, Victory Lounge, and kiosks, only contactless payment will be accepted.

The upcoming match between Portsmouth and Carlisle United is scheduled for October 21st.
