Yeah that crossed my mind just after I posted that, could see them maybe doing something like that though even 800 tickets at 15-20 quid is a bit of a loss to them. Ultimately it depends on whether they do the bubble or not, if they don't they there's no chance we'll get anymore than the 10%.
Largest gap between derbies: Jan 15, 1927 to Aug 27, 1960: 12,278 days. Feb 5, 1966 to Sep 14, 1974: 3,143 days. Jan 3, 1988 to Jan 7, 1996: 2,926 days. Apr 6, 1976 to Jan 28, 1984: 2,853 days. Apr 4, 2012 to Sep 24, 2019: 2,726 days. Had Pompey fallen short in the 2nd round, this likely would have become the second-longest derby drought since the clubs' formation.
First bit of good news. It doesn’t clash with the Guinness tour and evening out I’ve booked. Meal that night is in the hotel.
i have no chance of getting a ticket so i am going to drive to Fratton and arrive early say 4pm. I will wear a long blue cost (but underneath paint my self in red and white stripes with 'we hate pompey' written on my arse and using my areshole as the letter 'o' in pompey) .... Being incognoto I will simply strole the streets of Fratton and purchase a ticket from the first obliging tout. I will then mix with the locals in The Fratton Arms and have a few beers with the fans. Once inside the ground I will unlease my true colours and see what happens
