Portsmouth CEO Andrew Cullen Expresses Upset for Supporters After Match Postponement

The Championship match between Portsmouth and Millwall was postponed at Fratton Park following a power cut, dashing Portsmouth boss John Mousinho’s hopes for a second consecutive home win. Portsmouth chief executive officer Andrew Cullen offered additional information regarding the incident. Speaking to BBC Radio Solent, Cullen stated, “I can’t speculate at this time but what we can say is that Fratton Park is served by a sub station and it has been identified that one of the fuse boards had blown.” He further explained the operational challenge, saying, “The problem is that we don’t have any access to that sub station so our maintenance team weren’t able to get into there to try and resolve the situation themselves.” Cullen emphasized the need for further investigation into the cause, adding, “We need to do a lot more to find out what caused that to happen, both teams were desperate to play the game so I’m really conscious and upset for the supporters from both teams who made the trip.” Concluding his remarks, he offered an apology: “It’s not great and I can only apologise to both sets of supports and those who travelled.”
