Tottenham Hotspur have "politely declined" Portsmouth's request for extra tickets for the FA Cup third round match between the two teams next month.
Spurs welcome the League One side to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday January 7 and it looks set to be played in front of a big crowd with both clubs selling plenty of tickets. Portsmouth asked for more tickets for their travelling fans but were turned down by their hosts.
"Following the sale of all 8,880 tickets for Pompey’s Emirates FA Cup third round tie in the new year, the club contacted Tottenham Hotspur to enquire whether an extra allocation could be provided," read a statement from the Football League club. "This request was politely turned down by our hosts, with tickets also selling well among Spurs fans."
