    Surely you'd be better off speaking to your conveyancer about this, rather than asking on a football message board?

    The club agreed last night, that they'd scrap the £2 charge for buying away tickets (already scrapped for season pass holders, now scrapped for non-season pass holders as well), but for home games it will remain, as they're determined to move to a cash-free system.

    I would have thought the priority was a league match which could help us gain promotion rather than the chance to rubberneck at The Emirates. Especially strange when after all the talk of expense and travelling more people are prepared to pay more and travel further for a 12.30 kick off than they are for a nearer, cheaper game at 3pm.
    Though the Bury thing shows people prefer the chance of experiencing a real football atmosphere standing up rather than be in a sterile atmosphere surrounded by the sit brown shut up brigade and choose that when travelling similar distances.

    The simplest way to move to a cash free system would be free entry. We can but dream...:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It sounds like a lack of trust in the employees to me

    Back in the 11th century, the Crusading knights adopted an embryonic system of replacing gold and silver coins with notes promising to pay the bearer in said gold and silver coins if they took the notes to certain financial institutions in Europe and the Levant. This enabled the warriors to travel large distances without having to physically move heavy sacks of coins.
    It took several more centuries before the system worked smoothly but eventually the pieces of paper replaced silver and gold coins.
    Move on a few more centuries and it now seems these promissory notes are not valued. Shops don't want them, banks certainly don't want them and now football clubs don't want them. Instead they wish to have electronic credits on their computer screens. Which can be created by central banks by a click of a mouse.

    There's a lesson in there somewhere but I'm ****ed if I know what it is.

    Its not bonkers. Its going to happen. But the ideal way would be to offer tickets bought online cheaper than in person or by post.

    We're in too good a position now, nothing will be done until next season.

    It should be a discount to incentivise certain types of sales rather than a tax on others. Very common practice like with direct debit and paperless discounts in other industries. Dunno why football struggles with these kind of basic concepts so much, even when it's self proclaimed 'business not football' people running it.

    And if we are promoted, they may not want to sell at all.

    How **** would that be?
