Do people really expect or want to be on first name terms with individual members of the bar staff, that often changes week on week🙃🧐 Understandable over at a village club like Mangotsfield or a bigger example Bath City but when you’re talking crowds of 8/9,000 every home game? Not exactly difficult to have a £20 note in your pocket just in case is it?

Been going 29 years, wouldn’t expect anyone be it players, staff, board members, SC staff, bar staff etc..to know who I am. Why should they😂

Still think the cash only thing is laughable. Had to pay cash in Irene’s kitchen at the last home game. I like to pay card personally but o2b is a prime example of how cashless is pushing some supporters away.
Food huts could do with some attention still.
Personally can see it both ways though and like a mix of local establishments and supporting the club but sometimes the food situation at the ground makes it hard to use club outlets. The fan zone really is a saving grace given the state of some of the club run outlets.

Think you replied to the wrong post earlier with your £20 comment?

Let’s be honest. This forum is very much an older generation. I’ve seen more kids and under 30s at rovers this last 12 months than in years. So somethings working. None of them really even know what cash is. Each to their own but let’s not pretend it’s “pushing people away”.

No cash options at Mem (until it suits them). Cheaper. You get a glass in some establishments. You build a rapore with some bar staff and landlords that actually welcome you back because they recognise you so feel custom is sometimes appreciated. More options of beverage. The bounty of the Gloucester Road, my man....it never lets you down 👍 This is quite an interesting comment. Could this ever be delivered inside a football ground? The pub at Wrexham seem to deliver is but I'm not sure if they are part of the ground or just a pub outside.

When I was a kid yous could go to a shop with just a £1 note an come away with 3 comics, 2 choccy bars, 2 packets o’ Panini stickers, a packet o’crisps an a can o’ Irn-Bru. Now, they have cameras everywhere 😔

The pub at Wrexham seem to deliver is but I'm not sure if they are part of the ground or just a pub outside. Cash options have been available for over 100 years at the club in various guises up until now, I don't think any of our lot want to write a cheque (apologies for those whom don't know what I'm wittering on about!) so yes. Kinda keeping staff (especially pre TG era) would add to rapore and familiarity, but agency staff make this nigh on impossible because of rotation, but it could be done, so yes That would actually go hand in hand with the feeling of being appreciated (instead of just being presented with a pay point to show your card with no one telling you how much you are paying!....this happened in Thatchers bar to friends last season), so yes. Cheaper sounds difficult. Anyone remember the happy hour club used to do in clubhouse? A few seasons back? I do, just one option can be implemented, so yes. But I do take your point. Far easier to take a different option. Hence the free market solution on the Road!👍
