FAQ
Everything you might want to know.
What exactly is a Matchday Stub?
It's a premium keepsake of a football match that mattered, printed in your club's colours with the full-time score, the scorers, the venue and your seat. Think of it as the ticket stub you wish you'd kept, made properly on fine card, whether it's the game you just went to or one you're giving as a gift.
Which clubs can I make one for?
Every club across England's top four divisions and the non-league pyramid, plus Scotland's top two divisions, is supported with their real colours. We've also added the home-nation national teams (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland) and Europe's other top leagues in Spain, Germany, Italy and France. Over 260 clubs in all. Don't see yours? Add it by hand in the builder, or just ask and we'll set it up.
Is it only football?
Football is what we're built around, but it doesn't have to be a football match. A rugby final, a cricket test, a fight night, a concert, a big day of any kind: pick Something else at the start of the builder, give us the details, and we'll email you a proof to approve before anything is printed. See some examples.
How do you know the score and scorers?
When you enter the date of your match, we look up the result automatically (score, scorers, venue and attendance) from public records. You can also upload a photo of your ticket and we'll read the details off it. Every field is editable, so you're always in control.
Can I use my digital ticket?
Yes. Take a screenshot of your ticket in your club's app and upload it, we'll read the teams, date and seat automatically, then fill in the score for you.
What sizes and finishes are there?
The Stub is a true ticket size (180×84mm) on 300gsm double-sided gloss photo card. You can also have the moment as a print (A5, A4 or A3), framed or unframed. Prices run from £9.99 for the Stub to £29.99 for the A3 framed print. Two stubs are £14.99 and three are £19.99. Pairing a stub with any print or frame takes £3 off the stub.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free across the UK on every order. Outside the UK you pay exactly what Royal Mail charges us to post it, shown in the basket as soon as you pick your country. We don't add anything on top.
Do you ship outside the UK?
Yes, we post to over 80 countries. In the basket, choose Yes for shipping outside the UK and pick your country from the list. Can't see your country? Sorry, we can't post there yet, but email hello@matchdaystubs.co.uk and we'll see what we can do.
Will I pay import tax or customs charges?
For most of the EU (including Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden), Norway, Switzerland and the USA, the import tax is added at checkout at cost, so there's nothing to pay when it arrives. For other countries, your country may charge import tax or a handling fee on delivery; the basket tells you which applies before you pay.
How long does it take?
Each keepsake is made to order. We aim to post every order within 48 hours. We're a small business, so now and then it might take a little longer. UK orders usually arrive 2 to 3 days after posting. Ordered a pre-game stub for a game that's too soon for free delivery? If Royal Mail Tracked 24 can still get it there the day before, you can add it when you build your stub, at Royal Mail's price. If only Special Delivery can (guaranteed by 1pm on match day, for weekday games kicking off after 1pm), you can add that instead, also at Royal Mail's price. Abroad, Royal Mail aims for 3 to 5 working days in Europe and 5 to 7 working days elsewhere; frames and A3 prints go tracked.
Is this official club merchandise?
No, and we're upfront about that. We're an independent, fan-made keepsake maker, not affiliated with any club, league or competition. We use your club's colours, the city, players' surnames and the score, but never crests, kit replicas or official logos.
Can I put a name on it?
Absolutely, add the name of whoever was there (or who it's a gift for), plus the block, row and seat. It makes it unmistakably theirs.
Does it make a good gift?
It's one of the best gifts going for a football fan, a birthday, a first game, a cup final, a promotion. It's personal, it's premium, and it marks a day they'll never forget, or a "we're going" surprise they won't see coming.
Can you make it ready to give?
Yes, add the gold gift envelope (£0.99) when you make your stub. We slip your stub into a gold envelope, ready to hand over. Want their name on it? Type it in and we'll put it on the front for you, or leave it blank and write it yourself. It arrives to you inside our normal postal packaging, so you hand over the envelope, not the parcel. Nothing to wrap, and no prices anywhere on it.
Do you do gift vouchers?
Yes. Not sure which game, or which keepsake they'd want? Give them a voucher and let them choose: an amount they spend on anything we make, or the stubs and keepsakes you pick, and they pick the match. We send it to you to hand over, or email it straight to them on the morning you choose. Add a voucher stub and we'll post it too. It lasts 12 months from the day they receive it, and they put the code in the gift voucher box at checkout. Give a gift voucher.
Can I give one as a surprise for a game we haven't been to yet?
Yes, that's exactly what the surprise option is for. In the builder choose "It's coming up", add the match and your details, and we'll make the stub now with the score left blank, a brilliant "we're going!" reveal. After the game, you can order the matching stub with the real final score and scorers for half price, we'll email you a reminder the day before to take a photo at the ground, then your link and code about three hours after kick-off. It has to reach you before the game, so order a pre-game stub at least a week ahead. Either way, it's the keepsake that says: you were there.
Does any of my order go to charity?
Yes. With every order you choose one of our charity partners at checkout: Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity, Cure Leukaemia or the MS Society. 5% of what you pay, excluding delivery, goes to the charity you pick. You can add a donation of your own too if you'd like, and every penny of that is passed on.
How do I pay?
You pay securely by card at checkout, handled by Stripe, so your card details never touch our site. Then we make your keepsake and post it.
What's the best personalised gift for a football fan?
For a football fan who's hard to buy for, a personalised keepsake of a match they'll never forget beats generic merchandise every time. We make a commemorative ticket 'stub' and matching framed print of a specific game (a final, a derby, a promotion, or the match you went to together) in the club's real colours, from £9.99 with free UK delivery. A stub paired with a framed print is our most-loved gift, and pairing them saves £3.
What can I get a football-mad dad who has everything?
The one thing he can't buy himself: a keepsake of a match that means something to him. The game he took you to, his club's greatest night, or a final he watched with the family. We turn it into a premium ticket stub and framed print, personalised with his name and the occasion, a popular Father's Day, birthday and retirement gift for the dad who's impossible to buy for.
Can I get a framed print of a specific football match?
Yes, any match, in the club's real colours, showing the score, scorers, venue and date. Choose A5, A4 or A3, framed or unframed. You don't need a ticket; it can be made purely as a gift, whether the fan was there in person or watched it at home.
I want to remember a game I went to. What can you make?
Enter the date of the match (or upload a photo of your ticket) and we build a keepsake of that exact game: a true-ticket stub with the score, scorers, venue and your seat, and if you like, a matching framed print. It's the ticket stub you wish you'd kept, made properly.
What's a good football gift on a budget?
The Stub, at £9.99 with free UK delivery, is a genuinely personal gift for very little: a true-ticket-size keepsake in the club's colours with the score and the fan's seat. It's the best budget gift going for a football fan.
Can you make a keepsake for a non-league or lower-league club?
Yes. We cover 260+ clubs right down through England's professional and non-league pyramid, plus the Scottish leagues and Europe's big four. If a club isn't in the list, you can enter it by hand and it still renders in sensible colours, so no club is too small.
