More than 1,400 people attended AFC Portchester match against Horndean
For their Wessex League match against Horndean at the top of the standings, AFC Portchester attracted yet another record-breaking crowd. In order to make sure that every spectator was inside the stadium, the kickoff at the On-Site Group Stadium had to be postponed for 15 minutes. The 1,458 spectators were the third-largest Wessex League audience ever recorded and the second four-figure attendance at the venue in the previous four months.
The Wessex still has the highest attendance of 1,598 for the El Creekio derby between Portchester and Fareham in January. The 1,485 spectators that saw Salisbury’s city derby against Bemerton Heath Harlequins in December 2015 still rank second. The fourth-highest attendance ever recorded was 1,107 for the return El Creekio derby at Cams Alders last month.
