It's now Pukka Pies, and there's was also meat and potato available. Edited July 14 by Simpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not remember his ‘slide rule’ hoof from the half way line,(which someone on here actually described as intentional) that Garner somehow got on the end of and scored at the Chaddy End?

Payment by card only which I didn't realise, so that's one lost customer - how many more? They wont last long turning customers away IMO.

There are very few who are cash only nowadays - if the club makes it clear that it’s cash only and people don’t have a card/phone then bring sandwiches!

Pukka pies, absolute quality they are and worth every penny. £4.50 does seem a little excessive but they are in a different league to the crap served up last season!!

League one forever Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 People still talking about our 3rd top goal scorer who left the club over a month ago. I genuinely can’t wait to see who is next on the hit list for all our woes- now the favourite boo boy has gone. I’ll go Hammond or Lundy.

Another know all post. 1. Show me where the club made it clear? 2, Explain why they cant take a cash as a secondary option so as not to lose custom? 3. Why don't you see any major supermarkets card only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be taking a card next time so custom lost. As mentioned I can always take a sandwich an a flask. With this policy caterers wont stay in business long.

Why not put a debit card it the wallet also ? I don’t get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, are you suggesting you prefer going to the bank, getting money out and paying cash, than tapping your card on a machine? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 My Grandpa is 95 years old and has never used a “hole in the wall” to take cash out in his entire life. However, he will always carry a debit card on him as he knows a lot of places do not take cash. It’s also generally safer for him to have that security of a card, should he need it. He doesn’t use contactless but he’s happy with chip and pin. I understand the age argument and different generations but carrying a debit card is hardly unusual these days for any generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 It's cashless for many reasons, just from a banking aspect it saves fortunes dealing with cash, saying that they were allowing people to pay cash on the turnstiles so they are quite happy to facilitate that when it suits. Catering left a lot to be desired yesterday, hopefully it's a glitch and they will get on top of it before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsy Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I hope when the season starts it’s both options I take a 7and 8 yr old. When it’s near half time. The start to ask for drinks I just give them the cash so they can go and get them before the half time rush I wont be giving them my card also how will they go on in the family stand I believe there’s a tuck shop for the kids will this be cashless also. I went yesterday and the guy behind me in the queue had only cash so I paid for his coffee we need to use cash as a society 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that the club has judged that the benefits gained from not having to handle cash outweigh any losses from people refusing to bring a debit card.

Only Blue Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Sorry. What I was hoping was positive replies about more food and drink options and started cardgate !!! I hate card only, but that's a war we can't win, a few pockets of resistance like my pub which prefers cash... but it's inevitable it's gonna go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I will use cash or card if the establishment declares a preference for either, whatever is best for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
