To improve supporter experience, our Ticket Office and Megastore at The City Ground will be implementing cashless payments only.

How the f**k does that improve supporter experience taking away a payment option?

Imagine all the kids being given some money for Christmas. 'Happy Christmas son here is 100 quid but you can't spend it in the Forest shop'.

Big boo to this decision and I hope they rethink it and reverse it.

Screenshots on Twitter of the City Ground in the latest FIFA update (though I don't think it'll be fully available just yet). It looks very impressive though.

Many do especially the under 16's and although I used an example of youngsters what about many older people who still like to use cash.

It's not about getting with it it's about taking peoples freedoms away and trying to make out that they are improving supporter experience by doing it.

What will it be next? Payments only by your chipped implanted card.

OK that is an exaggeration but you can see where I am coming from.

The crowd and the masses need to wake up.

I agree mate. We should cherish the ability to spend cash. I know builders who have shoe boxes of cash in their lofts. 

But if I pay back my nieces and nephews in cash for anything (they're early /mid twenties) they look at me as though Im robbing them of the money. All they want to do is pay for stuff by flashing their phone at a card reader.

Sad that they enjoy being controlled so much. Why do people seem to enjoy big brother knowing where they are and what they are doing every minute of the day. It's their choice of course but it's not for me.

Im actually with the club on this. The ground has been cashless for a few years and is better for it. How many times did we used to wait in a long queue while a bored 16 year old at the bar wandered off to get change for someone who paid for a cup of tea with a £20 note. It used to take forever.
I never take cash anywhere now literally the only exception are some of the pubs near the CG are cash only on matchday.

So we take peoples freedom of choice away just so we can get a cup of tea a few seconds quicker?

Sorry but how is using a bank card instead of cash an example of us being controlled?

I think on matchday to speed things up when there are hundreds of people to be served its fair. A little bit harder to justify when little Jonny wants to go to the club shop with the £10 his nan gave him for Christmas.
Common sense would help but, sounding like a true old fart, that seems to be in short supply globally these days.
