27/04/2013 Shrewsbury Town 3-2 Portsmouth: Fans, Fancy Dress and Inflatables

Notes
The 1600+ Pompey fans who travelled to Shrewsbury for the final League One match of the season created a real party atmosphere with their fancy dress and many inflatables.

It was a great way to celebrate the start of a new era for the Club.

It started before kick-off and carried on well after the final whistle, despite the result.

I hope you enjoy this selection from the many pictures I took on the day.
