LOL.
You need a passport to leave the country and most kids have smartphones these days (they are also useful for loading your plane tickets and airmiles points on :wink: )

I'll see for myself tomorrow. Three of us heading to their game with Ebbsfleet. One mate born in Gravesend so Ebbsfleet are his local club, one living in Worthing and me! Can't wait tbh.
