The next 1928–29 season in the First Division, Portsmouth continued to falter, losing 10–0 away at Filbert Street to Leicester City, which is still a club record away defeat. Despite their failings in the Football League, however, that season also saw Portsmouth reach the FA Cup Final for the first time, which they lost to Bolton Wanderers. One Pompey supporter is reported to have ""carried a black cat, with the club colours around its neck"" to the 1929 FA Cup Final. Portsmouth managed to survive relegation, finishing one place above relegation.
