It's the way forward mate. I am a retired retailer and wish my company was cashless. It may have meant I could of spent more time doing constructive things, and less time sacking staff who were on the nick
what an absolute shit thing to say, so everybody in social housing is a scumbag? so not being able to afford London extortionate house prices or private rents makes you a scumbag?, get with the fucking real world you wanker
I know right!? You can't tell the missus you only had 1 pie and 1 beer when she can see your credit card statement.
This ruins me.
Probably guess work.
But I agree with the guesses, subject of course to these pesky 'safety systems' issues being resolved or close to being resolved.
The only significant exterior building work which needs completing (and that to make the stadium more water/weather tight rather than for safety reasons) is the South Stand 'eve' area. The veil/cladding is purely cosmetic but in the next month I'd be surprised if much of it is not complete, whilst the access to the stadium is all but done and whilst we are not privy to the inside of the stadium, most of that seems pretty complete and what is not is purely fitting out and could almost certainly be completed within a month.
So it all probably comes down to ensuring the 'safety systems' work is completed or at least all but complete before the next announcement/update on the stadium.
And given the Chelsea match in late November an announcement/update in the next week (to allow others to organise themselves for the venue) is very likely.....and an announcement on the test events if they are to be held in late November/late December cannot be far away either
You could always get a prepaid card for the extra essential supplies.
Where you on a Ryanair flight the other day?
As someone who private rents and all the crap that goes with it, I would take being called a scumbag by you, if it meant I had social housing.
Sorry mate, I don't understand how being cashless is an issue. No wallet full of cash needed, no waiting around to be handed your change in coins that clutter up said wallet or your pocket, quick easy transactions with contactless payments. I can see how it might be an issue with kids (dunno if kids get cards they can make payments with when they have a bank account?) but for fully grown adults, what's the problem?
I can see how it might be cheaper/safer for the club too. No cashing up and banking of money, and no opportunity for staff to stick their hands in the tills.
If I’m out on a bender, I like to use cash a pseudo way of limiting what I’m spending.
I don’t feel bad if I take out £50 and come back penniless, the trouble starts when I spend the £50 then start using contactless to pay for rounds.:avbfacepalm:
Granted these days I don’t think I could drink £50 worth of booze, but I can see why some would prefer to limit payments to cash.
Pretty much my sentiments as well
But it's not the club's fault if people aren't responsible enough to budget their own money properly
Anyone seen the movie "The Town"?
The last two thirds of it is about armed robbery of a stadium after a big game
Agree. I have been behind people in aqueue who pay for a Mars bar with a debit card. I have seen 3 members of staff at our place trying to rustle up £2 in cash between them to pay for the Grand National sweepstake (these are people on good salaries not low paid staff who might not have the money).
It must be an age thing but I don't get it.
Hate paying with cash. I carry virtually zero cash.
Origin is this story from Jack Pitt-Brooke in the Indy.
I just like being able to buget before I leave my house.Also, 2 of my mates (both fairly wealthy) don't use cards...That should be interesting. Just had one tell me(after I passed on the news) "oh well, the Mrs will have get em in the ground then".
