Islanders among thousands to watch Portsmouth gain promotion VIDEO

Isle of Wight Portsmouth FC fans were among the thousands at Fratton Park who watched their side gain promotion to the Championship last night (Tuesday).

A 3-2 home win against Barnsley saw Pompey crowned League One champions.

Dozens of Islanders made the trip to the mainland to watch the all-important match.

There were joyous scenes at the final whistle as hoards of spectators invaded the pitch in celebration.

Among the Islanders who travelled was Angie Cooper, who said: "It was a fantastic, nail-biting evening!!"

She captured this brilliant video of jubilant fans running on the field at full-time.

And it wasn't just fans who were at the game from the Isle of Wight. A St John Ambulance Crew made their way over to assist with the match day cover.

And Ryan Cooper managed to film Colby Bishop's penalty, which drew the game level in the 82nd minute.

Also watching on were Gary and Debbie Hall from Plaza Ices, who said: "What a night! What a team!"

It wasn't all plain sailing for the Blues on the pitch, though.

They twice found themselves behind and it wasn't until the 89th minute that they took the lead, thanks to Conor Shaughnessy.

From next season, the south coast side will take on the Championship - a division they last played in in the 2011/12 season.
