Just a reminder the club plan to go cashless next month.
The programme and 50/50 volunteers have not yet had training, so I guess training may be on the job, so please be patient for the first games.
If anyone has difficulty paying for a programme or 50/50 ticket by card, they can pay me cash and I will make the necessary card payment.

It would be nice to have freedom of choice.
No doubt this will put some older fans of purchasing anything.
Get ready for forum meltdowns as the system goes down.
Just my luck, I'll finish work early v FGR, get my 50/50s around 12 and then the system will crash and no one else can buy one. I'll win, but still lose half my stake!

Cash is definitely a thing of the past, even the elderly have grasped how to use a card. The "system" will only go down if Visa/Mastercard go down. |

Cash is so much easier. An eclectic mix of random paper sheets and metal objects in a variety of shapes and sizes, covered in fluff and bacteria, especially designed to wear ventilation holes in your trouser pockets for your convenience.
Some might find it hard to handle a change from cash to cashless, but imagine the sh!tstorm if in an alternative world we changed from cashless to cash.

Or the wifi, or human error, or battery/power fault, or damaged card. The contingency for the system going down has probably not been considered either.. |

I agree in years gone by but this regime seem to have their eye on the ball. Do you honestly believe that this new Rovers have not made contingency plans? |

All the other venues that don't take cash manage just fine. I get it though, wouldn't be Rovers making progress if half the fans didn't pointlessly object. |

Some might find it hard to handle a change from cash to cashless, but imagine the sh!tstorm if in an alternative world we changed from cashless to cash. Don’t forget to change all of the above paper and metal pieces for mildly differing shapes, colours, and textures if you cross a line in the sand and enter a different country, and you’ll need to pay someone some of your money to swap the rest of your money over for slightly less than it’s actually worth. If you have any left when you come back, you can just swap it back. They won’t charge you anything at all this time, but they’ll give you even less back than they swapped instead 😂 |

On the plus side, maybe more people will buy 50/50's etc as I, and a number of friends barely bought one last season, as always forgot to bring a quid with me as not actively used cash, or even carried cash with me since lockdown. |

Most people can use contactless technology. There’s still some who struggle with it. It’s baffling for those of us on an Internet forum how something so simple can be such a battle. However these people are out there.
There are also people who can understand it, and use it, but prefer not to. Many because they don’t trust it, don’t feel they can budget properly with it (especially at this time!!!), some because of tax / legal concerns.
For me if I could Apple Pay everywhere in the stadium or even use my season ticket card to make payment then I’ll celebrate that progress. However, I’m concerned there are many that will see this as a backward step that represents a kick in the Mitre Deltas.
Amazes me the lack of empathy on this matter.
Would people celebrate bank branches, post offices being closed in this manner?

Would people celebrate bank branches, post offices being closed in this manner? I would imagine there's lack of empathy as it's such a simple and trivial matter. It's basic and straightforward, and if you've not got a bank account, and deal in 'cash only', as you want to 'play the system', then that's your fault, no one else's. My old man is as luddite as they come, but at 78 years old, even he knows how contactless payments work. |
