Okay, so I now have a blue looking card in my iPhone wallet I assume I use this in future to get into the ground. I also have a pdf of a ticket for Saturday with a Q code on it which if I go on Saturday (daughter’s birthday) I will show on my phone. Greta would not be pleased if I printed it out :-)

I download the PDF for a paper ticket. Why it has to be on A4 size paper with the QR code on the small strip across the bottom, I don't know. Waste of paper and printing ink. Really need to sort this mess out. I am not that tech savvy. I have an iPhone with the apple wallet but not sure I did it right and also have a friend on the same email. So went back to paper ticket. I don't want to print every ticket each home game. I'll pop into apple at Bromley and let them sort it. What a cock up.

This move for paperless everything is an insidious invasion of our personal liberty. I understand why it's happening and it doesn't bother me too much, but it makes me uncomfortable.

Some of the examples quoted on here about folk without smart phones etc are a case in point.

Down here we're close to Polo lawns and we often go to watch a game or two for an afternoon's entertainment. Until yesterday we haven't been since the 2019 season. It's free to watch, but I still had to go through the rigmarole of getting 'tickets' on my phone so the bloke on the gate could scan them to let us in. Crazy.

I'm not really capable of going to Selhurst any more, but I do have fond memories of making a spur of the moment decision to go to a match, turning up at the Holmesdale turnstiles, buying a ticket and Bob's yer uncle.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Call me a Luddite if you will.
But surely the system with the plastic card was far more fan friendly.
I didn't have to down load attachments, or put things in digital wallets, or worry about my phone being charged.
I didn't have to do anything, I just turned up at the turnstile with my card.

Or 3/6d
