I'm all for a cashless system but am just waiting for the day when an IT issue pops up and all of a sudden no payments can be taken. Can't see then wanting to take 20,000 IOU's for food and drink 'We'll pay at the next game'....

I know it's unlikely but I will still always keep a few notes on me anyway, just in case.

Jonny Cantor actually looks quite normal.

Had a vision in head of something totally different

It’s a shame we can’t have a fans forum, followed by another fans forum where absolute ****ing retards aren’t allowed to ask questions.

The embarrassing thing is that Bloom, Potter etc. must think that the questions coming are representative of our fanbase, rather than being from a select group of imbeciles.

What question did you ask last night to break the monotony?

I have better things to do with my time than attend a fans forum.

I’m sure we can’t be the only group who goes to games and will have a whip?

Why do we need to go cashless? Just accept both and keep everyone happy. Don’t buy that it slows things down. As others have said its the temporary staff that work once a fortnight that are the issue.

coffees and food slow things down , dedicated beer queue with someone constantly pouring pints.

Not rocket science

I thought Barber handled the Seagull Travel point well with calmness and precision.

Yeah but the answer was ********

How so ? 'Tap card - done' is massively faster than....get money out (if a female, purse will likely still be in handbag at this point), select right notes (or worse, EXACT change - or 'oooh, hang on, I've got the 75p - after the server has entered £20 tendered), hand over notes/coin, wait for undertrained/hungover student minimum wage-slave to count cash, enter amount received into till, count out change, hand over change (slowly, as carefully making sure it's correct)............

It’s the same characters that attend this event, did I imagine or was there a trans fan in attendance ladies night asking for more goals and forks?

Personally I prefer withdrawing and using cash at The Amex simply because I find I keep track of what I've spent far better. I'm another one who disagrees that it's cash that slows the queues down - a tea or coffee drinker paying by contactless is far slower than me buying Harvey's with a £20 note. (Assuming there's actually some Harvey's poured up and the member of catering staff has worked there before.)

Yep, at the Valencia game, I wanted a coke and a cup of tea but the person at the front of the queue was ordering several beers. They held our line up for over 5 minutes, not their fault but the people after them and ourselves, were very very quick. I agree with the comment about pre pouring beers, would make things quicker.

They try to have beers ready-poured in WSL but can't keep up........they're also particularly crap at doing it (vertical glass, half a glass of head etc)

Wouldn't you be? Brain the size of a planet and that is the sort of questions you get asked.

The questions (for Tony) were actually what you'd expect and sensible. Yes. there was some trivial or silly stuff but so what - its a radio programme not a board meeting.
but asking TB about Ownership of the club/offers of investment, the future of the womens team, the Amex sponsorship, the vision of the club, and Dan Ashworth - is what you'd expect from engaged fans interested in how the club is being run.
PS: he looked no different to how he looks in the other forums or public appearances he does.

Did anyone ask about the likelihood of us seeing McAllister or Percy in a Brighton shirt at some point?
Sorry, haven't had time to trawl through the thread, or listen again online ...

The majority of the questions were actually pretty good - just had the usual inane ones thrown in amongst the better stuff. TB never looks entirely comfortable facing an audience - clearly not his thing.

Yes and the answer was the permit rules are involved and are even likely to be changing further very soon. It is complex and the club are looking at ways through, if or when the situation changes with the permits they will let the fans know, or words similar to this.

So why do you worry about the quality or lack of quality questions if you're not that interested or bothered?

Indeed considering the club go way beyond the average club in giving disabled people decent facilities within the stadium. The person in question obviously believes that his enjoyment should be paid for by other people.

The thing that struck me was that if he can get on a Seagulls Travel vehicle (mainly buses, but some coaches too) he can get on the normal buses or trains that still receive the subsidy. AFAIK all Seagulls Travel services use the main bus routes as they use the bus stops. If he is disabled, and needs a seat on a crowded bus, there's bound to be plenty of people who will give up their seats, standing so he doesn't have to.
