i think that they will struggle to imply that... if 2000 football fans on the beer were told they cant join the rest of them can see that causing some issues

Totally gree with you, it is what has been updated on the Gov.uk news article

Not sure it would be legal to do that.

i think a eticket and 1000's of copies being handed out should solve that issue lol

Look at your print setting & tick 'print preview' as well, when it show the preview the right hand text (terms & conditions) will be off the side of the page, on the settings you don't want 'fit to page' or 'scaling'

Ctrl P usually gives you printing where you can change the settings as opposed to hitting the printer symbol that often fits to page by default.

Brilliant, thanks, my previous attemps at portrait left 3 inches of whiteness top and bottom and everything squished across the middle. Taking 2x portrait versions + 1x landscape just to be sure!

Can any of the Lille fans who have been on here verify these damn e tickets? Ive got 5 other lads relying on me as i bought home fans tickets for block J2 , i really dont want to get to the stadium and not get in.
I have a landscape version which is the full page, or a portrait version, in the centre of the page , this portrait version is complete with everything , it is just a smaller version of the landscape ticket.......

I think they are asking for trouble but that is what has been updated today

sounds to me like its a get out clause if things get a bit hairy.

 

[sageyefc]

So if its sold out and they usually only fill there ground about 60% at best, thats a large chunk of evertonians, maybe the claims of the sheer amount of us going is true.

Cant wait to get there

Quite how the police plan to ban all tourist from the City without a match ticket is yet to be seen. It's impossible. Won't happen. Only saying it as a warning...
