🏆 What points are for
- Climb the True Fan leaderboard. The top 3 are named on Midnight Chelsea.
- Rise through 5 fan ranks: 🎫 Ticket seller (0) → 🌱 Groundskeeper (50) → 🕶️ Bodyguard (150) → 📋 Assistant coach (400) → ⌨️ Keyboard coach (1,000 points, the peak of fandom!)

Points are for pride, ranking and rank only. They cannot be exchanged for money, and club games involve no gambling of any kind.
Points and membership cards are separate. Cards (Free / Blue / Gold) are a status you choose to buy to support the club and get perks. Points and ranks are honours you earn by playing. No amount of points gets you a free Blue card, and buying Gold does not make you a Keyboard coach 😉
❓ FAQ
Can I change my prediction?
Yes, as often as you like until that game closes (the XI closes 90 minutes before kick-off, the rest at kick-off). The +5 for the score prediction is awarded once, on your first submission.
Why is the vote not open yet?
Voting opens one hour after kick-off so everyone can watch first, and stays open until 18:00 the next evening. No rush.
I cannot watch live. Can I still play?
Score, first scorer and starting XI can all be predicted in advance. Check-in must be tapped while it is open, and the vote is open until the next evening.
My bonus points have not arrived?
Bonuses land after the staff confirm the result, usually within a few hours of full time. If it takes more than a day, message the Chelsea THAI page.
