I have no intention of ever signing up to Twatter. But it's getting to the point that those of us who think like that are being increasingly marginilised. Same with EVERYTHING seemingly going digital only. Every time I phone the bank they ask if I want to do online banking**; they seemed surprised that I actually LIKE speaking to actual people to get important shit sorted. I've lost count of the amount of times I've tried doing something using an automated service (phone or t'interweb) and they haven't had the option for what I'm seeking aid on. ** I have set up online banking, but every time I log in it asks for a code. I enter the code and it just cycles back to the homepage. Try clicking on any of the services from the homepage and it sends me another code, which I enter. Sends me back to the homepage. I've told all this to Yorkshire Bank (Virgin now) and they couldn't help, even when I went through the process while they were walking me through it on the phone. Their IT assistant couldn't help either. How about this one. BT started to charge my Mum for the internet. She doesn’t have a computer and has no clue about IT. I rang them to sort it , explaining everything. Know what they said? “Please tell your Mum we’ll confirm by email! “. You can have email on your phone though? Don't need internet for that. Unless she doesnt have a phone either...doh |

Won't bother then. This business model will fail around here.

Fuck paying for this match. Especially if they're not even accepting cash. 46 games plus one or two in the cup is more than enough for me thanks.

I get everything will be online at some point, but the whole buying tickets online can be crap. Needs a total revamp in my opinion

That might be the case, however Town have never said you can pay at the gate, nor have you been able to for a number of years so why start now! Also, what's the issue with either buying online or queuing up on Saturday (if you don't want to pay the booking fee)? No issue at all, my friend rooo - but I was commenting on the difficulty I had getting an answer, or even any contact, from contacting the club. Unlike you I was not aware that you haven't been able to pay at the gate for a friendly match for a number of years... I will know better next time. Ticket office was closed on Wednesday I think, for an ‘admin day’. |

Dont really see why we can't pay on the door. Surely you want to make it as easy and convenient for people as possible. So long as people turn up with the correct amount of money and don’t require change, what’s the issue? It’s what £20/£25 to get in on a match day, most people can have the right amount at those prices. As mosher has said, it’s the fact that we’re being “funnelled” down these routes by the banks and other financial institutions. Payment by cash may have significantly reduced in Covid but it’s recovered, I get paid for plenty of small jobs by cash. |

It’s not free to set up a cash entry system.
This is just going backwards for the sake of a select few.
Cashless is 100% the way forward and has been for years.

Many places are cash only still. Big cities such as Liverpool, Many bars etc there are cash only. I wouldn't have any idea on the cash entry not being free, but if they are paying an employee to scan tickets. Surely the same employee can take cash payments too? I know of 4 people not going today because it isn't pay on the day. Club are missing out on income which is where they need to improve. |

What a weird reason to decide not to go to a football match, takes a minute to buy online or at the ticket office when you're there.
I'm not going because it's a pre season friendly and they're invariably shite

If a town fan genuinely isn’t going because they don’t want to walk 30 yards to where you buy a ticket then more the fool them. It isn’t as simple as just taking cash at the turnstile, there are other factors involved. |

Not being able to pay cash on the day at the turnstiles doesn’t necessarily affect me but I can see why it’s an issue for others. It’s like this new rule in London where you have to pay to drive through the centre and some of the outlying areas. Nailed on it will fan out to include all big cities in due course and I won’t be shopping in Leeds and paying any more - not on top of the crazy prices they charge for parking there already. It may well improve the air quality a small percentage over time but at what cost to the retailers? The big winners when it comes in will be Amazon and other online retailers but hey, it’s progress 👍.

I actually like ULEZ, it typifies our country perfectly. A forced new tax with good intentions but if you’re rich enough it won’t effect you in the slightest and you can carry on as you like while the working class shoulder the burden.

Thing is security would have be on top of things like never before, theres more than enough fraud now.If the day ever did come where we never used cash the fraudsters and scammers would just up their game too, plus the banks would know all our spending habits, where and when etc, it wouldnt bother some people but others wouldnt like the fact. |

I’m in the ‘not bothered’ camp but understand the privacy intrusion connected and appreciate this is the darker side to cashless systems. |

Going off the photos I've seen tonight I bet there'll still be more there than there is tonight for the peanut huggers. Well over 5,000 for Giants v Hull and only 4,008 for Town v Heerenveen today, that was a poor turn out. |

There didnt look to be 2,000 in for the Giants match the other night. I'd have been far more inclined to go and watch yesterday's friendly had it been pay on the door. |

All the folk that can’t seem to manage to buy a ticket on their phone, or internet bank seem to know their way around posting on an internet forum and watching a game on YouTube.
