Last season a lot of cash went missing 

That's not the fans fault?

It’ll increase this elderly person’s attendance as I can get tickets online and avoid queueing 

[CAVALIER]

I don’t agree with a cashless society but it’s the way of the world and wouldn’t deter me from attending any event. 

[Guppys left peg]

No odds on me in fact it’s great. I almost never carry cash on me anymore and I think that is true of an ever increasing number.

Probably wasn’t the wisest decision to announce this after a 7-0 hammering, giving fans a ready made excuse not to attend!
I don’t understand the reasoning myself if it stops just one person from attending or purchasing anything from the shop/kiosks then surely that’s a negative? If people want to give you money surely you take it in any form be it by cash/card/cheque/bank payments! Will be interesting to see what they do if the card machines stop working due to poor Wi-Fi, also would be curios if any fan consultation took place over this move or not before announcing the move?

That's me knackered then, only use cash, still, conna recall last time i bought anything in the ground, probably a bovril about 12 year's back!

No wonder PV's revenues are so low, think of all that profit you've denied them from over those years!

I know, scandalous on my part ain't it?

Not the clubs either

I'm sure they realise that there's been a cost of living crisis over those 12 years or so and will forgive you!

A lot of clubs do this now. Why do you think Norman used to work in the Hamil kiosk when there was a big following?!!

[jimbo57]

The queues at half time were bad enough, just imagine now when someones card causes a problem. I'll take my own food from now on.

Can they get any less fan friendly?

[The Hov]

I can understand why it's been done and I think it's pretty much a necessity now on match days. The things I've got a (slight) issue with are:

• I didn't know there was a trial in Lorne Street and hospitality of cashless (I may have missed the announcement) and that cashless was going to be rolled out across the whole club if it was successful.
• It has seemed to come without warning and is in place pretty much immediately.
• It extends to the club shop on non match days.

But overall I think that the majority of clubs have/will do this in the near future so was coming to us sooner rather than later.

From where? No cash turnstiles so they are not a problem.

[rob1983]

I can imagine alot of cash would go missing. Probably why they've bought it in.

Two guesses with him
