Alot of people too tight to pay the extra £1 for them to post it by the looks of things.
If the queue moves as quick as the Reading game then they'll be delaying the kick off by a couple of hours i should think.
I like going to collect it. Mainly because I don't trust the postman to actually deliver it to me safely - it is an expensive item to have sent standard mail. But I also like the ritual of going to the ground to get it because it makes me realise the season will be upon me.

They do have them, unless you've bought it in the last couple of days I would assume.
Does seem an awful lot behind the counter reader for collection so Saturday will be manic.
Paid for mine at Reading, so 30th. Surely too soon if matt_jada paid for his on the 28th.

Fair play Si, can see your thinking there. Would do the same if i lived local. I'll be happy i have mine firmly wedged in wallet as i'm about to take in another pint on saturday mind, rather than standing in a bloody queue.

Yeah i paid by phone on the 28th, and got told to pop in early this week. On Monday i rang them and was told it was available for pickup but a completely different when i got down there. He told me to pop down Friday at the earliest, but ring first, if not Saturday.

I ordered mine on Saturday, on finance. I got/sent the forms yesterday so I guess I've got no chance of my ST being ready this Saturday. If it wasn't ready, the ticket office told me to buy a ticket for Crewe and then get a refund later, when the ST arrives.
I just hate the thought of queuing for nothing to see if my ST is ready, so perhaps the club can put a notice up if the tickets ordered last weekend aren't ready.

Very excited about mine this year. My uncle - who first brought me to the CG as a nine year old Londoner many moons ago - is joining myself and my son for our first full season together with ST's in the Arkells. Very, very excited!

I'm similarly excited Mark H, will also be my first season with a ST after only making about half a dozen home games a season for the last few years, can't wait to be down the CG on a more regular basis.

Glad I got mine posted. It does set you back a few extra pennies but saves the effort, bother and hassle of getting of your arse to get it.
