Not anymore. Although 1901’ers can pass an away ticket on, they must name the person it’s going to at purchase. If checked and the name doesn’t match the persons ID they’d be subject to the same sanctions as everyone else.
I'm scaling back my own ambitions for the second half of the season.
Leipzig's a cracking city, I based myself there for the 06WC, I'd love to go back.
I have been there a few times. Totally agree.
While that takes the piss, wait till they hit 18! Suddenly that half price rail and match ticket, packet of sweets and bottle of water becomes a Two Together railcard, full price ticket and a couple of pints.
Hasn’t Norwich already been confirmed for Saturday Jan 11th 3pm ko. Tickets on sale at 9am today to the top priority group.While that takes the piss, wait till they hit 18!

It’s a PITA right now waiting for Norwich confirmation as I can only afford that OR United in January as two aways is effectively four for my wallet. I’d rather do Norwich but if it ends up Friday or Monday risk doing neither. And he has struggled finding a part time job because he wants flexibility of shift in case one of our home games gets moved.

My son's season ticket was once half the cost of mine. Now I have crossed the geriatric rubicon its 50% more expensive.While that takes the piss, wait till they hit 18!

Thank you. Completely missed that. Two tickets for Norwich purchased. Rail replacement buses here I come!!!
You can but the trains are tiny. Two or three car IIRC. Going up if you leave early enough the Royston / Cambridge buses shouldn't be too bad. Coming home will be a bunfight but I doubt any tickets will get checked.
The geriatric Rubicon is well worth crossing. You get reduced price Albion season ticket, OAP bus pass, Senior Railcard allowing a third off on train fares and reduced price haircut at my local Turkish barbers. You can shuffle and dribble to your heart’s content and no one tut-tuts. Young ladies will talk to you on the train because you’re harmless and not trying it on. The lads will chat to you as you have the air of been there/done it. Oh, and you can fall asleep anywhere and no one gives a shit. Wonderful!
Thanks - opted for the rail replacement
I think you can get to Norwich via Ipswich on Greater Anglia which avoids the disruption around Cambridge.
Not on that day.
Yeah, sorry about that. I thought you’d have clear run avoiding Cambridge by taking the Ipswich route.
That aspect is seriously one of the best things about ageing. I love the fact that I can have a proper chat with women after decades of them thinking (quite correctly) that my motives might not be honourable.The geriatric Rubicon is well worth crossing.

I can assure you that my motives now are still very, very dishonourable. A case of my head says yes but my body says f*** off!
