Excellent point, the click is ticking, anyone idea when the ST’s will be received?

With the relaxing of restrictions even further now there is no reason not to issue cards for the season as opposed to virtual tickets, away game tickets are being sold now, just need to get the home ones sorted.

Not to bothered which season ticket method is used as long as the information is communicated out in good time.

I believe Liverpool FC use NFC (near field communication) technology for stadium entry and all tickets are digital on a smartphone, in the form of an NFC pass. I wonder if our esteemed landlord has introduced something similar?

I asked over the phone when i bought mine, we will be getting physical cards this season through the post.

The club also updated in an article a couple of days ago saying the cards will be posted out imminently, so any day now i would imagine.

I'd just like to see a brand of rugby that makes me want to go and watch live games again as it's a 4 hour round trip for me and that simply hasn't been appealing the last 2 seasons.

Well it worked, pre season at Wire 7 hours trip, last night at Hull bit easier as only 6 1/2 hours, would have been less if we didn't turn onto the closed A63 route initially, cost us half an hour. Booked for Friday as well, means a mad dash after work on Friday as it's a 100 mile trip, but the rugby being played is worth it. Nice to have some enthusiasm and excitement for the game again. Last night was the best atmosphere at a game in many years for me.

Yep, it's 75 miles from home to Wigan, an hour from work to home on a friday, and the journey across the Peak District to Wigan is the worst I can think of, but we shall be there somehow! If I go straight from work in Nottingham it's 100 miles, but an easier journey. Hull is all Motorway so dead easy ( so long as the roads are open).

For the first time in years it seems like the effort is worth it for what's on display.
