Portsmouth hand Sunderland minimum away ticket allocation for League One play-off second leg
That’s the same amount as the Blues have been given by the Black Cats for the first leg at the Stadium of Light tomorrow (7.30pm).

Ten per cent of stadium’ capacity or 2,000 tickets is the minimum number of tickets the Football League require clubs to sell to away fans in play-off games.
Sunderland brought 2,400 fans to Fratton Park in December. Pompey delivered a 3-1 victory in the League One clash.
Tickets in the home end for next week’s play-off second leg are sold out.
