I normally send a pager message to my friend to buy me a ticket which I send to him via a cheque. He then contacts Chris senior who has a printer so he then sends the details of the order via carrier pigeon. I then have to wait in a phone box in Altrincham for a call to confirm we found Chris senior and it's printed . Chris then sends the ticket via 2nd class mail back to my friend who then in turns emails me the scanned ticket . I then go to Altrincham library and print it out . Very simple and works for me

 A similar situation to mine. Glad you find it so convenient.
 
 Your post seems to be met with all round approval, which is heartening to see. And just when I was thinking I'll have to get a smartphone or become completely disenfranchised.

Marvellous. Don't tell anybody but I make my own tickets at home. It's a simple job on papyrus using soot/water as ink and a cut reed to write with. Got me into Wembley for the Italy match ok.

How do you prove that? Those two bits of card with the batch details on? Hmmm. Right. Yeah.

With us "free" from next Monday...did we have to get tickets at previous years' away friendlies?

(Strange how ppl go down the conspiracy route when I'm just asking a question!)

You've put free in inverted comments and you're comparing restrictions vs lack of games, like you're worried about a hidden meaning.

Enjoy a pint it's sunny.

I've never needed tickets at Ashton, Nantwich or Curzon before, or for that matter seen anything other than low numbers there.

With the "pingdemic" looking set to continue and some jobs set to be banned to millions of people who could have previously had them (among other things), it's not what some would call free. And it's looking a fair bet that next season will also be disrupted. Get real. This is no laughing matter, lad.

Nb, I basically paid on the gate at Nantwich last pre-season, I'm not bothering next season if I can't pay on the gate (and as I say, looks possible we could end up like last season for some games). Freedom my foot.

Sounds like the excuses not to pay to watch a side that might struggle are starting early.

Last summer Nantwich actually was going to be all online tickets, they luckily had some spare.

Given some clubs have had sticky fingers over the years, cashless entry where possible removes those issues.

We were shocking, so glad I didn't pay for the stream...

At least the pitch looked good.

one wonders whether we should worry more about the standard of players rather than invest in the pitch

Doesn't matter who the players are if we have no pitch to play on.
