Card readers were installed in a couple of turnstiles a few years ago for Liverpool FC reserve matches. LFC paid for them. A few of of had a conversation with a club official in Edinburgh last year and he told us that the cost of installing card readers was quite high and gave us an alternative, card readers at the turnstiles or a players contract. I know which one I would choose.
Rogues, you know as well as I do that Wigan RL didn't install and pay for the card readers at the DW, Latics did.

you cant even spell 'what'.

can't

i also didn't start the sentence with a capital letter.

If we're going to be pedantic, it's 'I'm,' and we finish a sentence with a full stop.

Wrong again.

And the 2010 average was 15,723

I take it it is a knock-on effect from the football side? It is quite common at football stadia.

And Leigh?

I see no evidence that our crowds increased after winning the cup.

Not really a valid point, Dad's LFC season ticket is a card (has been for years) and they obviously have quite a few more ST holders than we do...

What is the actual reasoning behind having to have the season ticket booklet with you?

If Salford can afford card readers at the turnstiles then Warrington should have no problem.

Would i get a ban for telling this knob to feck off??

And for your info the social pay nothing to me

In theory, if the user of a season ticket cant go, he will sell that games voucher to somebody else. As the tickets are not transferrable then it is a breach of the ticket conditions (and also the club, in theory are losing out on the admission paid by that individual). The club is trying to introduce a measure that means the person who owns the ticket is the only one who uses it. One things this wont stop is the "oh I cant make it this week, here you go mate borrow my ticket. Give it me back on Monday"

The other apparent change is that each catagory of ticket has/will have a different cover which will make it easier to spot people trying to use the wrong type of ticket. Yep, some adults people do actually try and get on with kids tickets apparently.

That's exactly right mate. I used to be a ST holder for Blackburn Rovers and before the cards were introduced about 4-5 years ago roughly, you had to take the booklets and only at the turnstile would you be told what number voucher they required to get entry. Stops selling the ticket if the ST holder cannot make it/doesn't want to go!

i believe at hillsborough they had id pictures on their season tickets a few years ago, it got quite anal.

In years to come turnstyles will be equipped with retina/fingerprint recognition technology. The cost of this technology is reducing, and will be commonplace in many different facets of life in the next 50 years.

thats good for me me and my dad can switch glass eyes

Thanks Mr Jetson. How are Elroy and Judy?

Hope its not introduced on coffins!!!!

Why don't we come in to the modern age and have the Credit card style swipe system that Wigan have? Much quicker entry to the Stadium that way.

There are card/ticket style scanners on the turnstiles in the East Stand, John. Surprised they are not used more often.

That's why we haven't installed them.
