I don’t see an issue with it but I don’t think an email would suffice. Should have been many notices around the ground before the end of the season
My granddaughters have their own debit cards (11 and 15), and they’ve been brought up to respect spending, BUT as several have said in previous posts, not all kids respect this method of payment and because of this, get into debt
I know you can but spending limits on cards, but I just feel it’s the wrong way to go about teaching kids to respect money

More to stop sticky fingers in the till rather than speeding up matters perhaps, cash is always a temptation unfortunately. CCTV and computerised tills finished many a decent barmaid
You want a monzo account each, if you all get one they have a good system for splitting bills, you can more or less set a group and transfer money amongst each other.
It's brilliant for abroad aswell, and no I don't work for them, I just have one and the rest of the family and I have to say it's a brilliant account and the best banking app IMO.

I don’t think you’re grasping what Splott Parker is saying !!!!!
I know most of them and some of them don’t have cards or even mobile phones.
Not everyone is up on technology
Re: CCFC kiosks go cashless
Why is the method of payment which has existed for centuries now starting to be considered obsolete? Surely we haven't reached the stage where using actual money in transactions is being phased out because it's considered too expensive?

It was a ten year contract wasn't it and it's now ten years since the new ground opened.

One of them gets a card, buys the beer, the others give him the cash!
How are they going to manage in 5 years when almost no one takes cash?

Too slow too old fashioned, it will be gone in no time, and not traceable, it could increase tax and kill or reduce the black economy and leave an audit trail!!!

The other market for the wearables pay bands was for parents with who wanted to give their kids a way to pay without cash. Not sure how successful it was as I left before it really rolled out but it’s as good as cash in that respect, and a bit safer too.

After the BOMB, cash will be king

I’m waiting for Apple to introduce the ‘smart wallet or I purse, every time you take a fiver out, some f*cker is alerted!!!!!
Re: CCFC kiosks go cashless
Yet another reason to not buy any of the overpriced stuff on offer.
Unfortunately, this payment by card is becoming the norm so the City are only following the trend set by many other businesses.
Re: CCFC kiosks go cashless
Disney have had a " Magic Band " for a few years now ( they are on Mk 2 as it happens )
https://cdn1.parksmedia.wdprapps.dis...o389795711.jpg
they are the size of a watch
They are your room key, cash, infact everything, you touch " Mickey to Mickey " at the park entrance or till's and you are good to go
They have a RIFD in them, so when you walk past a screen it will know your details and might say " good morning Matt " for example
with all these " pre paid Cards " ( i mentioned the Starling bank and Revoult card in another post, someone has mentioned monzo ) we really have no reason to not have a contactless card in our wallet

Most schools use a card system for lunch. One was introduced whilst I was in school 14 years ago.
All they need is a card system for the younger where you can top up. That could be put inside the club shop.
Either way I think it’s a great idea and for the risk of alienating a few oldies, it will be for the best for the majority of normos

Exactly, be funny as f*ck as the rumble goes around the ground 10 minutes before the half time whistle as the first in the queue messages his mates still in their seats ‘ System’s down, they’re trying to sort it’ 😂 Anyway they took cash today for my Wigan tickets so all’s not lost.

Unproductive humans are expensive, so should they be phased out too?

Exactly. OAPs too. Cashless shopping marginalizes the poor. Not everyone has a bank account.

I’ve also got the, perhaps daft, philosophy of if I get to the till and say the bill is £18 & I’ve got a twenty pound note on me, I’ll pay with that because if I pay by card it’s as though I’m paying twice, the £18 will be debited to my account and the twenty pound note will be frittered away anyway later. As I said, daft, 😂😂

The cashless facility at outlets in the ground will not be replacing cash but will be an ADDITIONAL facility , so cash will still be accepted everywhere.

They have reworded their original website article about it now.
Re: CCFC kiosks go cashless
Got to be good news. I tried to buy a pint last season with a £50. They refused to accept it. In the end I had to pay with two £20s and £10.
