Five of the seven till positions at one of the food outlets in the WSU today were marked "Cash Only". Had I been the Operations Manager for the UK Division of American Express in a stadium sponsored by my employers, I would have been less than impressed.
It is beyond me why the club do not offer a discount for Amex users. If they did, a massive increase in card users would result.

Amex cards are pretty useless a lot of the time but you'd think 'The Amex' would accept them everywhere really. Also 'cash' includes Ecash, which confuses a few. I was more concerned that the first kiosk I tried had no pulled pork burgers (sold out at 2.15) and no Sussex pasties, the second had Sussex pasties but 'not for 10 mins'.

Sorry to go off topic (but this seems to be the best thread to mention it) a group of us* were discussing in the WSU today how much to top our cards for the rest of the season.

* strangely enough there is still one guy who has never sussed out how to put money on his card!

Went to use my card before end of season and found out pie and a pint is finished today west lower had stew and a roll not what I wanted before going home and having dinner. Slightly OT had a pint of Harveys today and it was the best I have had since I sold it unfortunately it was in The Dorset Arms Lewes not The Amex.

Good to know that e-cash is being phased out, yet the club still allowed their systems to auto-top-up my card by £50 today.

Its been announced that auto top will cease on 31 March (I think that's the date)

Not in my experience.

Problem is everyone would be waiting until afterwards for half price food.

I personally think that removing the ecash is a mistake, and will lead to longer queues.
