Thinking about it

It would require a fair old amount of work/life jiggerypokery but I'm thinking about it

We'll win. 2-1. Fab de Freitas and John Dreyer. Barry Knight for them.

I'm guessing we'll win, as I'm not going, but am going to the Charlton game, which is where it will undoubtedly come crashing down. Jinx would be kind for me.

Must admit I find this heading rather confusing. I only read as far as "Mick" and then click on it looking to see a thread about the Wolves whilst wondering why we are getting so far ahead of ourselves.

Anyone know how strict stewards are at turnstiles at Portman Road?

My mate seems to think we look young enough to get as an U16 (Which we did at Leeds after being asked our D.O.B), we've also done this at other away games and we only look young.

Do you think they'll be bothered? Leeds was the first time i've been asked.

Would I travel all the way to Ipswich and risk not getting in for the sake of a few Quid? Difficult one!

I would if i had the money too, i'd rather break the law than not go as i wouldn't be able to go otherwise as i'm a full time student.

I'm also a season ticket holder (full adult price) and I like to get to as many away games as money allows me, so paying the full adult price for away games would mean i would only be able to get to around 3 away games a year whereas paying as an U16 i can get to 7 or 8 (I pay for the official club coach too)

It's £20 difference! Which might not sound a lot to a working man but for a student it's a fair amount. (if it was my choice i'd have got an U20 Ticket but my mate refuses considering we've got away with it numerous times before)

Obviously, the sensible advice is to pay full whack; however, I'd rate your chances at getting in as fairly high. Firstly, I once watched a 40 year old bloke away at Fulham get in on a kids ticket. The woman at the turnstile said 'You have to be under 16 you know?' to which he looked her in the eye and said 'Yeah?'. You could see in her eyes should just couldn't be arsed with the commotion. Age restrictions rely a massive amount on folk doing the right thing. There's no reason for an Under 16 to have ID, so if you're brazen enough I'd be very surprised if they didn't let you in. There are a lot bigger consequences for them if you were under 16 and they turned you away than if you aren't and they let you in. #PRnightmare.

Be careful though, they might put you in jail :wink: .

you have a choice - the choice to get a u20 ticket!

and also, the fact it takes about eight days to get to ipswich, i wouldn't want to waste that by trying to con it in.

I assure you I do not need to 'Get a wash' nor am I a thief, our club needs all the support it can get, and if that means not conforming to extortionate prices that clubs charge nowadays then so be it.

I wasn't rude to you, so please don't be rude to me.
