Not been a thing for a while if you are talking ITFC at Portman road. Speedway or the ladies team a different matter. |  | | |

When Mick was still here I didn’t think that I would be able to make a game but in the end I could. Arrived at the ground at around 14:45ish and thought that I could just pay on the gate. But no - had to go to the shop and buy a ticket. In fairness, I only had a card on me so under Evans that technology was beyond the capabilities of the club to accept.
I doubt very much that paying on the gate is a thing now. |  | | |

I would happily if I could. Especially away games - plenty of times I don't know if I can make a game weeks ahead. |  |

Only if the gatekeeper is not currently occupied with the Martlesham Cuckoo Census, which—due to recent air-fryer interference—is running three weeks behind schedule. I tried to pay cash last week but was redirected to a commemorative plaque honouring the 1997 outbreak of urinary-tract infections among midfielders. It’s contactless now, unless you bring a horse. | |

If you want to take a game in at any point give me a message when you know and I’ll see if I can source a spare, can’t promise anything but something usually pops up. |  |

In my much younger years when travelling on the A140 there used to be a lady called "Mickfield Mary" who from what I understand used to provide horizontal refreshment to lorry drivers. I think you could pay "On the gate" with her as she used to display her upper half which would hang over the gate. | | | |

You seem to know a fair bit about her practices... |  | | |

When I said younger days, it was much, much younger. The only balls I was interested in keeping active were leather ones with a bladder and a lace which didn't do your head a lot of good when you headed it.
The lady in question was well known and allegedly well supported. Either that or lorries mysteriously ran out of diesel when they got to her cottage. | | | |

Oh wow - I remember someone talking about Mickfield Mary and pointing her house out to me in the 1970's when i was a young teenager!
I've never heard her name mentioned since but was telling my husband about the legendary lady ,only last week!! |  | | |

I worked for a few years for a couple of chaps from Debenham (now that’s a beautiful village tiny place used to have four pubs) anyway I digress,I’d cut through Mickfield on then way back to the main drag.
Surely the local history club of Mickfield would have put one of those little circular blue plaques on her cottage wall to celebrate this wonderful woman ? | |
