Millwall were just about to kick off at Pompey when the lights cut out, plunging the stadium into darkness.<\/p>\n<p>The home side posted on social media that they were &#8216;looking into&#8217; the issue at around 7:50pm.

Superb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Millwall supporters who had travelled to Fratton Park took the opportunity to stoke the South Coast rivalry further.<\/p>\n<p>As the stadium sat in the pitch black, visiting supporters sang: &#8220;How s*** must you be? Southampton have lights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But despite the bitter rivalry between Southampton and Portsmouth, some Pompey fans could see the funny side.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know what, we deserve that&#8221;, admitted one Portsmouth supporter on Twitter (now X).<\/p>\n<p>Another added: &#8220;That\u2019s good for you lot tbf. Fair play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Portsmouth Bosses Explain Power Outage At Fratton Park<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking after the Millwall game was called off, Portsmouth chief executive Andy Cullen explained to the media that the club had lost power about half an hour before kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>He told <em>BBC Sounds<\/em>:\u00a0&#8220;We were able to restore the floodlights just after 8pm and I have to give full credit to the match officials, who gave us every opportunity that we could to fix the problem and get the power back on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We then got to a point where the floodlights back and the emergency lighting was on in most of the stands, however, there were still issues in terms of non-emergency lighting and other areas, such as CCTV which wasn&#8217;t working to its full extent. So we had a decision to make in terms of crowd safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cullen then explained that another issue occured later on, which affected the ability for travelling Millwall fans to get home safely.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;There&#8217;s more to a match than just 22 players on a football pitch. We had a capacity crowd here tonight and we did not have the confidence that we could get through the whole game with other lighting not working.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We then got to 8.30 &#8211; we still felt there was an opportunity to push it through &#8211; but then there was a further problem in terms of the last trains going back to London for the Millwall supporters. They would not have been able to necessarily get those last trains back, so a decision at that point had to be made.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really disappointed and upset that we&#8217;ve had to call the game off. But it was the only logical decision we could make at that particular time in the interests of everyone&#8217;s safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southampton&#8217;s social media team have gone viral after a post mocking South Coast rivals Portsmouth&#8217;s floodlight failure which saw their Championship game with Millwall called off.
