    What a **** up this has turned into


    READ | Portsmouth away fixture postponed due to safety concerns.

    Portsmouth will look sympathetically at requests from Rotherham fans – on a case-by-case basis – who need reimbursing for pre-booked travel or accommodation.

    Seriously if only EFL did their job, was always going to be a festival there on bank holiday

    It's Pompey,s and the local Police,s fault
    EFL can't be expected to know each and every event up and down the country

    The Football club and Police at every club should review what's on in the area and take a decision to notify the EFL that they want an away fixture or Friday night game.

    For example that same weekend it's the Ashes at Headingley
    Surprise surprise Leeds are away at Stoke

    Not difficult is it Pompey.

    EFL obviously know about it because they generally give them an away fixture due to it being on the same weekend every effing year.

    Our club aren’t happy about it and told them we didn’t want it moving again but obviously we don’t matter.

    Why can’t we just reverse the home/away fixture ?

    I'm surprised that we haven't had a points deduction for having the cheek to oppose.

    The Victorious Festival at Portsmouth is an ongoing event on the calendar, they knew twelve months ago the Festival would be back at Southsea.
    P155 poor organisation from the EFL and Portsmouth FC.

    Season hasn’t even stated yet and it’s turning into a farce

    Too simple to do that !!!

    Originally was going down for the weekend and had to cancel. Now undecided whether to do this one, ....

    I wonder if Portsmouth FC can give me a very early morning call !!

    Anyone betting it will be a Tuesday night re-arranged fixture, 7.45pm kickoff.
    Near enough a 450 mile return trip.
    Useless EFL !

    Tell Portsmouth that they will award Rotherham the 3 points. Watch them sort out the safety arrangements then!
