Expect the queues to get into the ground to be much longer, as people not used to using a mobile phone struggle with the new technology.
It could be a real mess.

Gates in the Holte End - only open 90 mins before the game, the queues for the 1st game maybe quite long, also fans like me who have been moved, will have to find where they are now sitting!!

I have received an email to say that I have got a season ticket card and will be posted to my home address at no charge, which is good news for me.

The UH is always a breeze to get in, however there are long queues to get into the LH and TR when we walk by. That is my concern for the first game and I really think the club should've issued the tickets a couple of weeks prior to the first home game at least so that everyone would've had a chance to sort everything out such as moving to wallets etc and at least be in a position to flash the phone at the turnstile.

It's no good saying that it's plenty of time, it may be for some but not for others. Add in a few beers, a hot day, a good result the week before and I can see some frustration and tetchiness.......

People have only had twenty-five odd years to get used to mobile phone technology. Tsk!

The Witton Upper can be a nightmare to get in with long queues across the road

I don’t understand why all us GA plebs wouldn’t get there l an hour and a half before kick off first game of the season to savour all the refurbished toilets, enhanced concourse catering offerings and highly competent staff serving all those offerings….


….that is what will happen isn’t it? It can’t ALL be about the GA+ers can it? :-) :-)

Who wouldn’t want to get there to watch some kid with zero interest in being there pouring a can of something into a cardboard cup?

In response to BE, the phone providers have had 25 years to provide me with decent mobile phone reception at home. I am still waiting.

I consider those that faff about at the turnstiles to be the equivalent of the person in front at the garage, that has just filled up their car with petrol, paid and decides to spend what feels like five minutes adjusting their seat, putting their safety belt on and grabbing a Werthers original.

The euro games were a nightmare. There were people with phones that didn’t understand how wallets work, those with printed out tickets that didn’t know how they worked.

Yes but smartphones have only been omnipresent since the early 2010s and a chunky percentage of those who were in mid-life at the time may have shunned them forever.

Too right. We had to fight a NIMBY in court for two years to get a 4G mast (5G turned up during this but that'a another story) in our commune. We won but people down the street are now accusing us of importing cancer for babies and bubonic plague via Orange. And posting via their iPhones and Androids on the internet...
