My typically daft observation is that the scoreboard operator clearly wasn’t expecting Saito’s early goal (much like the rest of us I suspect). It was at least four more minutes before it registered on the screen! |

On the contrary. He loved Christmas so much he didn’t want anything to do with Queens Park Rangers. |

Good points well made and well argued. The genie is clearly out of the bottle but it does make me chuckle when I stroll past the expensive new ‘artisan’ baker at the end of my road when the ‘sorry, cash only’ sign is displayed when their payment systems have crashed again. The confusion and panic among the yummy mummys and their beanie-hatted, goatee-bearded partners is palpable. I’ll save my story about attempting to use a fiver to buy a Cornish pasty in Bude for another occasion (suffice to say that I think of it every time I see that ‘crypto only’ ad on TV). |

I understand that it’s all about cost-savings for business but it’s being achieved by outsourcing those costs to the individual consumer who has to bear the expense of smartphones, contracts etc and the general aggravation that goes with it. My point was more about choice. How difficult or costly would it be for West Ham to knock out a few normal tickets for non-conformists like me (let alone these multi-billion pound sportswashed ‘football’ clubs owned by smiling, bonesaw-wielding dictators?) At least our lot still provide Season Ticket cards for smartphone refuseniks like me.
Another point about choice: in my previous incarnation as a taxi driver it became mandatory to accept credit card payments a few years ago. Fine, all well and good etc, but who has to fund this? Why, the good old cabbie himself via equipment rental contracts, transaction fees, lost fares when payments fail and the passenger ‘doesn’t carry cash’. All I’m saying, really, is just give us the choice. |

I didn’t know Barrington Bandersnatch III played for QPR. This is the ‘Alternative Jobs’ thread, isn’t it? |

Should be a legal requirement to provide normal tickets for those who neither own nor want them. |

Reminds me of an interview with Paddy Ashdown, the former Lib Dem leader, a few years ago. Reminiscing about his SAS days, he said the soldiers would only be issued with three sheets of bog paper for each mission: “One up, one down and one to polish”. |

Beautiful indeed. I wonder if anyone’s noticed the flock of geese that occasionally fly over the stadium? Would love to see them in a photo. |

Fair point about the post and I do concede that most people have fully embraced the digital world now. And, of course, not everyone can get to the box office at the drop of a hat. I guess I’m unusual in that, in my cab-driving days, I’d wait for a job over to Westfield or somewhere and pop in from there. And now I’m pretty much retired I do rather enjoy making a day of my occasional box office trips from south London. I’ve absolutely no idea what an ‘animated QR code’ is though! |

Indeed. I’ve always bought my occasional away game tickets direct from the box office where they print off a paper one for you in return for actual cash money. The last cup game I attended was Cambridge United away. The ticket was rather nice and I do like keeping them as souvenirs. Trying now to convince myself I won’t be missing much as even a couple of my West Ham mates have stopped going because of the sh*t matchday experience at the London Stadium. Grrr, though. |

Digital only (no paper or print at home tickets). Counts me out then. |
