I emailed the club and the reply I got was that F&F do not need to be members. I am concerned that the number of F&F you are allowed to nominate will get reduced over the next few years and/or the number of games you're allowed to give to F&F?
As far as the app goes, my Dad doesn't have a phone that is up to date enough and they said they will contact people like him nearer the time, maybe they get to keep a card ticket?
