Anyone on here have a go at the 50/50 draw at the stadium?
What a performance now and it is costing the club some money as well as the fans, who expect a reasonable prize draw.
Previously you would sometimes see two if not three sellers of the tickets outside the stadium on match days. Now there is only one and that poor lass is getting some right and underserved abuse from fans and all because they no longer take cash. That's tight, it's credit card or nothing and loads are refusing to pay by card so, the takings are down and well down.
One old chap was giving the young lady some lip because of the situation, and good for her she gave it him right back and told him to go to the ticket office and complain if he felt that strongly about it. I asked her if she was okay and she said it's happening all too often. I hope she is feeding all of this back to the club.
Some folk like myself still had a go by card but sometimes the signal is weak and it's taking longer to complete a transaction, result being some are even leaving the queue and walking away. As a comparison, normally when it's a decent crowd, say
8k - 10k the half time payout is always above £1000. Last Saturday the crowd was 9k+ and the payout was only £620.
Whoever thought of the card idea needs to think again and bring back the cash procedure or, takings may drop more thus the money that goes to the youth set up reduces and more funding will be required from elsewhere.
