IF queues do get smaller then great - but from the club statement, “The good news is that a majority of our fans are already paying by card” so how much difference will it really make? Most of the delays I’ve observed when waiting in queues have had nothing to do with payment.

I have no objection to using contactless payments as such and probably use them more now than cash. Nor have I any real objection to the Amex becoming a cashless venue apart from the potential inconvenience if I forget to put my card with my season ticket on match day. I do object though to...

You try convincing your bank that drinks etc. were bought fraudulently before the card was reported as missing! https://www.theguardian.com/money/2018/aug/25/tsb-contactless-payments-card-fraud-safety-refund

If the worst happened then card payments can still be accepted “offline” - this simply means that a check for available funds is not made at the point of sale.

I was talking with regards to contactless purchase not PIN and card ones. Purchases made before the card is reported as lost are not refundable - not only that but as many retailers accept contactless payments “offline” a lost card can be used numerous times and banks have acknowledged that...

Nobody’s mentioned what happens if you lose/drop your contactless card. Lose cash and you know how much you’ve lost - lose a contactless card and you could well end up supplying drinks to a lot of people before you realise you’ve lost it - banks will only refund sales made from the time you...

When you realise that you’ll soon be too old to qualify for a funeral plan :eek:

Ironic? - possibly - still worth a read. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7412013/In-week-Bury-died-Crystal-Palace-chairman-Steve-Parish-gives-guidance-run-club.html

Stupid idea I know but . . . If instead of bailing out current owners of clubs, such as Bury and Bolton, which have been run into the ground, they actually purchased them via a supporter’s trust then where would be the encouragement for other owners to behave in the same manner.

Can I just say I really enjoyed today’s match Or is that irrelevant now that we have VAR?

We gave our daughter half the deposit she and her husband required for a mortgage on their first house about six years ago. The building society they got the mortgage from insisted we signed a document saying that this was a gift and that we would not be expecting repayment of any kind. I...

My main objection to VAR is that we can’t see what the ref is looking at. All we get is the decision.

Which is precisely why it is necessary for government to impose a level of moral responsibility in the same way that they have with the alcohol and tobacco industries. The levels of advertising and sponsorship has got totally out of control - there’s hardly a sporting event, whether broadcast...

Pending Decision

Of course people “vote for who they want to” or as the “Great Hack” showed don’t vote at all. The point is though how do people decide who they want to vote for or whether or not they’re going to vote. What influences your decisions in such matters? It can’t be purely a matter of direct...

Do you really want to compare our club with McDonalds! I’d like to think that the club values its employees more than McDonalds do theirs.

Actually it doesn’t! What it does show is that there are varying opinions amongst professionals - some believe there are possible links, others that there aren’t - certainly nothing definitive in either direction, Plenty of opinions, very few facts.

Isn’t this link just as valid? https://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/25/health/video-games-and-violence/index.html The American Psychological Association observed in an August 2015 policy statement that research demonstrated a link "between violent video game use and both increases in aggressive...

I just said they don’t gross £1.8b - they do however regulate that amount. OFWAT have virtually no income but they do regulate billions of pounds of spend and for example can impose penalties if insufficient is being spent in particular areas. The BHA appear to have very little interest in the...
