I think the gift pack is coming before Christmas rather than as a welcome pack.

Yep, it does say in the letter that the welcome packs will be out later in the year.

They didnt bother replying to my request that they review the decision not to grant a physical ticket, as my reason was I dont have a smart phone Im not sure how others with the same reason will fare.

I applied on behalf of the wife with the same reason and she's heard nothing either.

So it does. I only skim read the Benefits paragraph. I assume the packs will be geared around our 150th anniversary. Could be good.

Fortunately, the game isn't until Saturday.

"Grant" - and therein lies the problem - they forget who pays their wages and think they can impose draconian (and it is exactly that if you dont have a nice shiny new phone etc) new conditions that are causing all sorts of grief to the paying supporters who actually go to the games as opposed to buying a TV package who are increasingly treated as an afterthought and a liability - and not just in football either.

I can see the phone lines being busy over the next couple of days. My dad - 78 - no smart phone, applied for a physical ticket but hasn't had anything yet.

It's just a shit idea. Some random person deciding if in their benevolent wisdom they'll let you have a physical ticket or not.

I cant see any possible way they can reject a request from someone with no smartphone

The email I had on the 14 Aug said a link for the tickets would be sent out within 7 days, so that's up to tomorrow.

I applied via the form for a physical season ticket - did not have a reply, so last week contacted the club via email and then had to give a reason why I needed a card for a season ticket

Aye, and I'd further guess that rather than try and sort out lots of individual issues, they will just email everyone a ticket to print out. Which is what I wanted over a week ago and was told I couldn't have.
