The government's preference I feel is for us to be cashless to avoid the non payment of tax, nothing more sinister than that imo.
I suppose in terms of the club shop, the cost of handling, banking and provision of cash tills probably outweighs the cost of card charges now on a pound for pound basis. But they probably just want to avoid queues at the tills on match days.

Sorry but how is using a bank card instead of cash an example of us being controlled?
Surely you don't need me to explain that Wassy. Every time you make a payment with your card or phone it is recorded so they know how much you spent, where you spent it and at exactly what time so if you want to know where you were on 25th April 2020 just ask the authorities and they will tell you! If that is not being controlled then what is it?
Anyone I am shutting up now. Can't wait for the PL to start again so we have some Football to talk about.

What are they controlling though? Why does it matter if they know what and when I got a Costa? What are they going to do with that information? They're not affecting any of my decisions in any way so it's not control.

Just to support Sniff on this one................
It is controlling because it is taking away peoples right to choose how they prefer to pay for things. It is saying to people, you can no longer have the choice to spend cash. You must use electronic options only.
I wonder what the club will do if there is ever an electricity outage or the internet goes down?

If it a cashless society, they will then bring in Digital currency.
Then watch them control you, once you have had your monthly quota of fuel or what ever you want to buy, if it doesn't match the governments criteria to meet Net Zero and your carbon footprint, you will be restricted, cash is King, use it or lose it!

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.
Sniff, get with it mate. Youngsters don't do cash anymore.
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’m not sure you’re right on the U16s bit, the growth in things like Go Henry is changing that massively

Yep, when a bank or company like Paypal decide a vendor isn't appropriate anymore, for whatever reason, they can be cut off.

Do you know what the difference is between a conspiracy theory and fact. About 6 months
