    I've been a speed typist for many years (50 or so) and I can honestly say that my handwriting is terrible. MInd you, it always was but now I can barely string two words together with a pen in my hand. This posting, on the other hand, takes me about a minute to type.

    So, on that basis, I would say that kids will grow up never knowing what a pen is, never mind using one.

    My comment was tongue-in-cheek and I realise it's the best thing in this situation (and that BFC have made provision for alternatives). But, as you concur, internet access is not universal.

    I think there needs to be a balance. Writing is a skill, like typing, and should be retained. I'm currently prepping for a job interview and have handwritten it as I find I remember things better when they're written down. When everything is on a screen things tend to blur. Just my experience.

    ooooooh. but what about the energy consumption of the cloud data centre sir, that hosts the service that generates said e-ticket?

    I won't have a season ticket until we have a proper English manager and play 4-4-2 with all English players.

    You're right! I was talking hypothetically :) I think personally some of these green initiatives are deeply flawed. The impact of having wifi everywhere - who knows what damage it does?! I've heard about the consumption of things like bitcoin too, huge!

    If I didn't have a Season Ticket I'd just assume that I'd be granted entrance and the club would be grateful that I'd deemed them worthy of my valuable time.

    If I had a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket then I'd ignore everything wrong that they've done and all the rules they've broken.

    I'd then renew my Wednesday season ticket despite all this evidence, and when questioned about it I'd just laugh and say that all the clubs round here are as bad as each other and that Chansiri is just doing his best.

    I'd then say that I prefer League One anyway, because the Championship is full of unelected bureaucrats. Relegation means relegation.

    I won’t have a season ticket until our team is comprised of only central defenders, central midfielders and centre forwards, no wingers or wing backs.

    A recipe for disaster - Pens against would be easy if the goalie couldn't dive left or right.

    It's worked really well, we need him to keep up the pessimism until the end of the season!

    Until we go back to the halcyon days of journeymen signings, proper full backs like Paul Gibb, and scouting done right with not a spreadsheet to be seen. I won't be attending any Playoff games.

    If we're going Monster Raving Loony Party, I demand Keith Hill at Left Wing Back.

    And Brek Shea as Support Liason Officer.

    To be honest. I almost went for 'Bring Ritzy back' but didn't want to cause offence.

    Until the club becomes independent from the UK, and I can learn how to submit paperwork in time and with the correct information, then I won’t be entering any ballot.
