The Club are going to love this…
FAN A
Game 1: Went
Game 2: Returned ticket
Away points: 1
FAN B
Game 1: Didn’t go
Game 2: Bought ticket
Away points: 0 (if they return it now, presumably, given the early call off)
But when you then think ahead to Game 3, what about…
FAN C
Game 1: Went
Game 2: Kept ticket
Game 3: Returned ticket
Away points: 1 (surely, as per Fan A)
Yet the Game 2 group of fans would also include…
FAN D
Game 1: Didn’t go
Game 2: Bought ticket
Game 3: Returned ticket
Away points: 0 (surely, as per Fan B)
FAN E
Game 1: Didn’t go
Game 2: Didn’t go
Game 3: Bought ticket
Away points: 1 (same as a fan who did all 3)
So do the Club end up having to work out when you bought your ticket, rather than which match you were going to, in order to differentiate between any fans returning today’s tickets, depending on whether they got halfway to Pompey for Game 1?!
Or you just give everyone who’s bought a Pompey ticket 1 point, capped at 1 point, even though today was called off early enough to minimise impact (train tickets aside etc, which I don’t dismiss), and others could just go to Game 3 and be rewarded in the same way as someone who does them all.
I’m sure they’ll just give everyone 1 point to simplify it, but a fun thought experiment to pass the spare time now, if nothing else! Also shows you the kind of nonsense they have to think through!  [Post edited 3 Feb 13:37]

Extra point for those that kept their ticket and will keep it for the 3rd one! |  |

I thought in scenario B, buying a returned ticket got you a point. [Post edited 3 Feb 13:11]

Surely, the club records would only allow 1 point to be awarded in total otherwise that could generate a raft of complaints from those that kept their ticket from the first sale |  | | |

Sorry, was an intro to the second part, where I’m assuming they return it. Edited. | |

That’s kinda what I mean about giving everyone 1 / capping it at 1. Seems way too complicated otherwise! | |

I know, it’s almost as if I was going to fill my time with something today that suddenly got cancelled…… | |

or, old school take on this, you just attend the game to be there without needing anything in return.
not a dig at you, but those that go to build up points purely for a ticket to norwich which is likely to be a dreadful experience | | | |

Oh yeah, absolutely agreed. That’s what I mean about the Club at the end there - they probably spend a nonsensical amount of time doing mental gymnastics and fielding phone calls about stuff like this, always destined to fail, as you’ll never please everyone. | |

I’ve nothing against people going to games to get points but I was really hoping Norwich away was going to be earlier for once this season. This might have reduced the pressure to go to every game to guarantee a Norwich ticket and freed up some more tickets for others. If we don’t go up hopefully someone will give the fixture computer a nudge but I suspect they have probably already pencilled it in a for Feb to Apr 2027. |  | | |

I can’t really argue with that - we did have to sit through 2 absolutely sh*te games of football for those 2 points. Pompey is different. | |
