Portsmouth fans thank Notts County for hospitality on promotion day

Portsmouth fans have expressed their gratitude to Notts County for their hospitality as the South Coast side clinched promotion to League One.

Three relegations in four seasons saw Pompey fall from the Premier League to League Two between 2010 and 2013, but their seventh win from nine games this season sees the club back into the third tier.

A combination of their 3-1 win over the Magpies at Meadow Lane, plus Luton Town's failure to beat Mansfield Town, was enough for Portsmouth to mathematically make sure of a departure from the fourth division.

While Notts also had cause for celebration as they secured League Two safety, it turned out to be a special occasion for Pompey fans, who had endured several years of hell - much like the Magpies had.

Several fans of the South Coast team were very kind in sending us messages of gratitude and support for helping make their day so special, and expressed best wishes for Notts to join them up the Football League next season.
