This will be a great way to generate additional funds for AFC as well as satisfy your Saturday football fix for this year. It's not a bad set up to visit now and again and you can drink beer on the terrace as well.

You will need a card to show at the gate at St.Neots to prove your a AFC fan so we can get the £2 donation.
No doubt someone on the Committee will say how and when you can collect a card if you were not at the meeting last night.

Cards should be available at every game or fans' forum from now on. Just grab one of us on the committee and if we don't have any on us we'll certainly be able to point you in the direction of someone who does.

Dave, or someone else in the know, is there a way you could make these 'cards' downloadable/printable from the internet via the saverdfc.com login's?

Unfortunately no. They're laminated and numbered.

Could perhaps have been thought through a bit better. Chances are I won't be able to get one. Not for a while at least.
Why on earth are they numbered? ;)

I think St Neots printed the cards and issued to us. I guess they want to track how many different cards are being used, and how regularly.

Fair enough then. Are they at home at the weekend? I'm at a loose end. Albeit my £2 won't go to AFC R&D! Will they let me off if I wear my AFC R&D T-Shirt? ;)

BR, i have been told that if you turn up and ask for a card at the turnstile they will give you one.
I will also take some to the Whitworths friendly tomorrow night if anyone wants one.
