Tim S Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Who else had the problem on tuesday night of no cashpoint machine??? Tuesday night, i came down, bought my ticket but then realised I had no money for drinks/burgers - and i was starving! So started to make the long treck over to sainsburys to the nearest cashpoint. EMPTY! How frustrating is that!? Several times the club have said they will look into getting a machine but never have. I for one would use it if they got one. If dodgy corner shops can get them, surely city can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I had that problem and I think the girls on the fag counter at sainsbury's were throughly narked off at everyone buying a mars bar just to get cashback - by the time i got there they were running out of money!!!

Guest Tactical Genius Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Why not just organise yourself better. You had all day to get yourself some cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 or... They could start doing cash back in the club shop. Just think how many keyrings they'd sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XrAnGeX Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 It seems ridiculous. I have also encountered this problem, which resulted in me having to walk all the way up to the tobacco factory. :@ Average of 11,000ish per game and no cash point. Surely the club are losing out. It really isn't a lot to ask ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody pointed out earlier - just organise yourselves better, it really isn't that difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SW Valleys Red Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 We looked at it extensively over the Christmas period, but concluded that at this stage it was not commercially viable. ← ... Not Commercially Viable. What is so wrong in providing a service (that may or may not be economically viable or efficently profitable)that is quite clearly required by the supporters - without whom, this club would not survive?

The Man In Black Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Just petition one of the local pubs next to the ground to get one in. It would be more viable for them to have one (regular footfall throughout the week) plus they have the bonus of people coming in on matchday. I don't think some people appreciate that the club has to pay rental costs for a unit which would only be used maybe once a week, and then not for long periods during the summer. Companies such as LINK won't pay the club to have the unit, and I'd expect that most of the fee would go to covering costs, that is if the cash point breaks even. I can't believe that too many people would make a huge use of it, only the odd couple for the convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 How is it not VIABLE ! you would earn £1.50 from every transaction ! ← How much do they cost to rent and maintain? To be honest not a clue but the banks own theirs and these shops rent theirs from Securicor How many times will they be used? Quite a few times every second saturday of the month and a few wednesdays for 9 out of 12 months. Shops get daily visitors, have longer opening hours. Where will it be sited? Club shop? Usually empty all week. One of the bars..same thing. Outside? Get vandalised or have a skimming device fitted. £1.50 for very transcation probably wouldn't cover thr greif it would cause. Use the one in West Street or annoy Sainsburys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I have to agree its all about organising one self better. Any way, just to show how times change. When I wur a kid, and played football all saturday morning long at the Wedlocks end of Ashton park,by the toilets I always needed to phone some one after finishing footy. No phone box by the toilets,always had a vision BT would install one by the wedlocks pub saving me a long walk to the tollgate house end of ashton park,where there was a phone box Alas a thing called the mobile phone put paid to that dream.
