Question lads and not having a pop at Spurs fans, I see their new ground is cashless, now i'm sure they will have checked the legal aspect of this but i thought it was illegal to not accept cash in certain situations.

I assume the new ground must have a restuarant of sorts, and in UK law restuarants are not allowed to refuse legal tender. In a tendering agreement between seller and buyer, yes they can refuse cash, but a restuarant bill is classed as a debt.

The reason the topic caught my eye was because Visa got done some while back for encouraging companies to not accept cash from their paying customers, basically the card companies wish to turn us into a cashless society which only benefits the banks not the consumer.

An older story on the above topic; https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/4015...to-refuse-to-take-notes-and-coins-as-payment/

Also banks have started to reduce ATM's, however, this has already been highlighted as affecting the less well off in our society. It's claimed a cashless society would affect 8 million UK residents.

Heading towards the payment chip in the back of the hand mate. Look forward to seeing reports of people having their hand chopped off in a mugging <grr>

Loads of places in London, and probably elsewhere, don’t take cash now. It’s nothing new and makes a lot of sense.
 
The stadium better look good for £900m. Architecturally it looks the business, but there’s no denying, even from the most excited spud with his hardon in his little paw, that it’s a gargantuan **** stain on the club’s history right now, due to the fact that Levy made a colossal **** up and delivered it a year late... and overshot the budget by almost double.
 
Stadium looks good. I like the beer taps.

Anyway, it's results on the pitch that counts. Would be funny if they lost their opening game there against Palace.

One of the Spurs lads should probably bump that 'Only place in London...' thread.

It’ll be a more level playing field to start with. Didn’t you scrape a draw against an average Villa side first game at your place?

On the flip side though playing a few games there this season should mean that they won't suffer from a settling in period next season.

Yeah we struggled for a bit when we first moved to the Emirates. The players said it took a while to feel like it was 'home'. Not sure Spurs will suffer in the same way tbh as they've effectively been playing away at Wembley, so moving to the new stadium will feel more like home for them.

What happened to the rule that once you'd played a certain amount of home games in a stadium it had to remain your home for the season?

Or did I dream that :huh:
