If every game was selling out in advance, these people who only pay in cash would find a way to buy a ticket earlier in the week.

People cannot or don’t want to realise that this isn’t just an“elderly person” problem but also for low income families, people who have had money troubles in the past etc. As a fan of over 30 years it [SwearFilter] me off I won’t be able to attend some matches due to their new ticketing policy but [SwearFilter] me off more that the club and some fans can’t see how much of a problem this is
Also an expat problem, should I ever get the chance to get to Barrow for a game, my debit card is only valid for Belize so is useless. My credit card could be used for the ticket, but as soon as I used it for little items such as a pie and pint it would be blocked leaving me with nothing to live on for the remainder of my visit to UK.
You would be able to buy a very good burger in fanzone for cash or a not so good pie or other munchies at any of the refreshment huts in ground so don’t be deterred.

Don’t sneer at owners these accountants have done wonders for this club.That is very offensive.They are doing good job.I repeat the numbers affected I believe to be small.The only thing I think that could be looked at is this child’s card which I agree needs 50 pound I think deposit to activate which is a lot if people have several children and trying to treat them equally whether they are football orientated or not..

It doesn’t matter if it only affects a small minority, it is still affecting fans who have possibly followed the club for tens of years, but don’t worry, we don’t need their support anymore

Sorry but it’s plain wrong IMO. Small or large numbers we are a community club who should cater for all. I won’t go over the points I made in an earlier post but I was adamant it was a wrong policy from the club when first announced and nothing has changed my mind. It does not affect me but I care and have sympathy for those it does.

You don't actually need a physical turnstile that takes cash. As I have previously said you can open the office for an hour before kick-off - take cash there is exchange for a ticket. Put it all through a cash register if need be to help the accounting.

Agreed. Or take a look at Carlisle who have three satellite ticket points around the ground on match days that take cash for tickets. I am not saying we need three one would be sufficient IMO. The fanzone IMO would be ideal

So are you saying they're willing to take cash at the food outlets but not at a ticket selling point because if that's correct it makes their stance even more ridiculous ?

COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT
It's not about cash turnstiles it's about the owners of a football club spouting all sorts of shite about engagement when they want you to buy season tickets [ i.ll bet they wouldn't have turned down a good old wedge in the middle hundreds for a couple of season tickets ] and then taking not an ounce of notice when those very same fans point out something they want changing and what makes it worse is that they're coming across as not giving a shit by refusing to defend their actions other than some crap about being unable to find anyone trustworthy enough to sell tickets for cash [ maybe PH could get in touch with me and i.ll explain to him how an operator provided float system works which completely rules out the possibility of discrepancies in the cash taken ] and at the same time i can explain to him how someone with those inclinations can actually make many times more by instigating a little card fraud but then the difference is that its the customer who loses out not the club but i.m guessing he already knows all of this and doesnt give a shit.
Having read this carefully, digested it and ultimately I have concluded that this post is aggressive, conceited and unnecessary. Only my opinion.
Well keep your opinion to yourself then as i can't see a single worthwhile contribution from yourself on the subject on either this or the other thread.

Yes that is correct. It does not make any sense whatsoever

the burger van is not club owned - so it isn't the club taking cash.

The food kiosks in the ground do take cash… for now. Everyone saw their arse over the club going cashless so they compromised.

Well my opinion, that I choose to post because that is the nature of the forum, is that I don't believe I have read any positive pro Barrow postings from you. In your recent one you appear to be adopting an attitude that sees yourself as superior to our chairman, and that if he has any sense he should consult you. Unbelievable really. Arrogance and conceit personified in such an otherwise harmless forum, as this medium.

I see that before the Exeter and Aston Villa games the players ‘took the knee’. I believe that this gesture is made to promote equality in our society and to oppose all forms of discrimination. But Barrow AFC in stopping any facility to pay with cash to enter Holker Street on match day is blatantly discriminating against many sections of Barrows population. I can draw two conclusions from this. Firstly taking the knee is an empty gesture and it’s continuation at Holker Street would be ridiculous in the circumstances Secondly if you are white working class in this country you are at the bottom rung of society and nobody gives two hoots about your rights.
