Season Tickets

[chrisw1]

Will all be fingerprint access soon. Or some other digital crap where they can restrict the less fortunate

It won't be.  But even so, how would this be any more restrictive to the less fortunate?  Unless you're talking about people with no figures, which is a very niche part of society to be white knighting for.

We have cashless/contactless shops opening up , a few in London. Piers Corbyn was at an Aldi the other day and there were barriers up preventing him from buying a packet of strawberries unless he signed up to the system.

you register and just walk in ,no option of using your cash or even your card. This will be the case at football. I suspect facial recognition so there will be no more 'passing on' your card to a friend or family member who may normally not be able to afford to attend. The club might offer a service to change the ticket but no doubt there will be a big process and cost attached .

And the looking glass is well and truly entered.

If I had a shop and saw Piers Corbyn heading my way I'd board up the fucking windows.

Who had Wilma going all "GB News" on their bingo card?

[Flin5tone]

Far from GB news fan but a very big fan of both Corbyn brothers. Principled human beings who stick by their beliefs even if I don't agree with all of them , I have nothing but admiration, going against the nodding dogs .

Better not start this finger print crap I had mine removed just before I took part in the Great Train Robbery, up to now no one bothered me

Fucking hell.

I can understand why someone might remain a supporter of Jeremy, but Piers Corbyn is a bona fide nutter.

[Clampy]

Yep. Piers is a massive massive twat.

Isn’t he a climate change denier?

Yes he is and a Covid sceptic, likened the vaccine roll out to Auschwitz.

There is no conspiracy with cashless shops.  Take Villa as an example you turn up pay for you drink/food with cash but it's not exact so you obviously want change  how do you think they get that change? they have to get it from the bank who then have to transport that money to the club in a very secure and very expensive van.  Then after the match that cash doesn't just magic itself into Villas bank so the 1st process has to be reversed and then once it's at the bank it has to be counted, this process isn't free the driver of the Cash In Transit van has to be paid as do the people counting it in the bank I know this because I used to do it.  You think you're helping the club because you buy their stuff but if you do it with cash then the club doesn't see all your money whereas if you pay with your card which you seem opposed to then the club see a hell of a lot more of your money than if you paid cash.

Oh and one last thing the people collecting and counting the money are working class people who are on a really low wage, so if you've got a problem with cashless it's those pesky working class people that are to blame.

I was stood behind an old chap today, who was trying to use up all his loose change to pay for something. After about 5 minutes of checking various pockets and counting lots of 10 and 5 pence pieces, he came up 15p short, admitted defeat and then used contactless anyway. I could cheerfully have chucked him in the sea.
