Hearing 4,000 might be allowed in tier 1.

Didn’t see that coming.

Nor did I, I thought we would be lucky to re-start in the Spring.

Unfortunately Pompey could be in tier 2 at best, tier 3 at worst. Great news though.

I reckon the scum will gladly swap us due to lack of interest. The OB know if they want to the overtime it's Fratton Park

Don't think this has really been thought through enough and two games in it could all go back to no fans. On the 28th Ipswich (3rd) are at home to Charlton, low risk so home fans get to back the side. On the 2nd of December Hull (1st) are at home Donny, Hull is currently second worst in the country, so no home fans. We go to Blackpool on the same day, probably no home fans. Peterborough go to Wimbledon to play in front of Wimbledon fans.

How long will it before there are complaints that teams in low-risk areas are enjoying an unfair advantage in having home support and not facing opposition support in high risk areas.

Newport (IOW) will be able to pack them in, then.

Will be a Christmas present and a half if we can get down the park once this year, great news, the 2,000 need to scream themselves hoarse AF, will be a special occasion

How long before Portsmouth goes to Tier 3?

Yes, it'll be great for the lucky 2,000 but seeing as every league club in the country is in at least tier 2 no-one can have more than 2,000 so all they are doing is adding to all the club's financial losses, because it will cost more than the income to run these games.

I'm inclined to think they should have waited a month or two until the vaccine was there so every club could have fans on an equitable footing. It can't be fair for the clubs in tier 2 areas to have an advantage over those in tier 3.

You think the vaccine will be there in 4 to 8 weeks?

Yes

As long as it is approved they've said they will start giving it to care homes etc in December.
