It's a good question goats. Still unanswered.
Pompey and Cardiff are 2 so called smaller teams, who can both muster big crowds if the sniff off glory is in the air. Especially us. Our first appearance since 1927 and a rare visit for Pompey was always gonna attract a massive crowd. When top 6 teams get to the final, it’s not so big a deal as they get to finals far more often than us.
