Ipswich Town podcaster Craig Finbow, who presents the Blue Monday podcast, was meant to be driving to the match with his 18-year-old son, Oscar.
He, too, had lost out on half a day of leave from work, as well as money he had paid out in advance on parking.
“It’s not unknown in this country for it to rain a little bit, and we’ve managed to play football games up here, even amateur matches,” he said.
“So you wouldn’t have thought there’d be two games cancelled for a waterlogged pitch in this day and age.
“I don’t think you’re going to get any [money back] from Portsmouth if they can’t afford to employ a few blokes with pitchforks to get the water off the pitch.”
Portsmouth FC said they would not be issuing a statement.
