E-cash discount

[Spun Cuppa]

I really don't know whether I'm coming or going watching the Albion these days. Talk about a faff but then that's modern life in general and all because its saves "us" money (rather than make "them" more profit!)

The amount of time you have to invest (key word) understanding what you have to do in order to get x y z...it's not a case of life is short, more it's getting shorter because of this shit! In a nutshell, imagine if going to the pub was this complicated?! You just wouldn't go. Anyone wanting to swap seats, to take a friend, whos not been before, and take advantage of cheapest rates, for an away game...and then chuck fact they not able bodied perhaps into the equation, well, you'll understand the volume of work required. Ow, and that's for 90mins of football which often turns out to be crap and expensive!!

Why? Why do we do it?!! I've often said there should be social support services available to footy fans wanting to ween themselves off a drug more addictive than some in class a! We must be nuts! Roll on Derby though, can't wait!!

Also, I don't know how it stands with the Government's stated aims of cutting binge drinking Getting to the ground early and getting pissed are being incentivised, and will no doubt lead to more alcohol-related public order offences in the ground. What are people going to be like in the ground with 3+ pints in them

Seems reasonable enough but not sure reducing it just after the game is a good idea. Should at least be 10% straight after the game then increase if you stay longer.

Unless they have changed how the system works, they need to be careful with use of the term DISCOUNT.

The existing system (excuse my made up prices) is that if a pint is £4, you would need £4 (in whatever form) to buy it, and then if you've swiped your card, you'd recieve a 40p credit once the transaction was made. If you arrived at the till with £3.60 on your card you would NOT be able to buy a £4 product with it. Ergo, NOT a discount.

Been caught out with this many a time with my auto top up. I never carry cash with me when I go to a home game unless I have plans to go straight out after.

But I'm one of the few people who get there early when the doors open so I shall buy my 5 pints when I get there and drink them up until 14.45. I shall be quids in.

In general I have found that the more complicated a scheme the more likely it is to FU. This has got cluster written all over it.

I gave up using my smart card some time ago. Too many **** ups make me feel uncomfortable using it. I simply don't trust them to put the right amount through and if they do make a mistake you're stuck for 10-15 mins whilst they work out how to resolve it.

The whole process of supporting the Albion is becoming complicated.

Hahahaha all these people who say they will drink elsewhere pre match.

NO YOU WON'T!

Barber seems OBSESSED with multiple layers and levels. Different levels of club membership, different levels of smartcard discount. I predict it will end in tiers.

Sedexo in charge is the first mistake.

Amen to this. When it does we revert to being hooligans rather than customers or clients mind. Important to remember this. Same applies to any stewarding matters!

Even then, I wouldn't be surprised to find a special offer in the shop on Stone Island, Burberry, Lacoste and Ben Sherman clothing.

Whilst the cash-back wasn't a huge saving it was a nice touch and did make buying food/drink a bit easier in theory and with auto-top you never got caught short, especially if you ended up buying a couple of pints and pies. However, as I said in another thread today, it just feels as though the club are managing to make decisions (and often decisions which are taking things back that they have previously offered to 'loyal' fans) that reduce the goodwill that is felt towards the club.

Having said that, I do suspect that some of the decisions that are being taken now are a result of what had to be said at the public inquiries about transport issues to get the stadium built in the first place and what are now considered 'poor' management/operational decisions that were being made in the run up to our first season at the Amex?

With everyone three sheets up, they could put on some special, 'Two for the price of three...' deals

Passengers of drivers in the P&R sites, will never get this 15% after full time, as the buses to the sites finish 90 minutes after the game.

Only BEFORE the game. Slow queues AFTER the game would SAVE you money!

No 1 tight wad : "After you.."

No 2 tight wad : "No,no, after you, I insist....."
