Attendance Thread - Norwich City

[Wayne The Punk]

A large percentage of that estimate would have/could have bought tickets on line, the rest is pure speculation.
The club is not going to do this, full stop.

So as I’ve said before, if anyone feels that strongly, go to the club and volunteer your services to find a solution to those people wanting to attend the match but don’t have IT or a bank account.
Trying to prove a point on this forum is not going to change anything despite the “whataboutery” .

Do one you selfish fucker, its all about making it easy for everyone, not just the I am all right jacks like you

How much preparing can you do when dealing with idiots given their (our) loose cannon instincts?
I assume they will take them off sale soon. Ideal time for am update.

(btw, I am travelling down after the match, due to P'boro 17:48, if I catch a 17:51 then eta BSE 19:40. If the connection goes wrong it's 20:45)

The levels of stupidity do reach new depths every year.

Are you in the Premier Inn? Nice short walk from the station. Couple of pub en route as well.

Many fond memories of that place.

Have you got the cab numbers etc? They can be a bit sketchy over BH weekend.

Just bought my ticket. Was hanging back for the PC, but they may not open it, as with QPR.

Missed that game because of that. Don't want to miss too many promotion season games.

You missed a game....because you waited too long for a part of the stadium you had virtually no evidence that it was going to open?

Yes. I've said before, not opening the PC loses sales.

Bizarre mentality, I can understand preference but missing out on watching the lads for that reason, when you had the free time and money. Odd

Confirmation if any was needed, that the world has gone batshit mental

My wife would agree with that. Seems normal to me though.

PC won't be open for this one. If people want to go to this match there's no point in holding back.

The bank my choir uses charges 8% just to make a cash deposit. On top of that, there's the cost of secure collection, which I've not had to get involved with.

How can we judge SAFC to a community bank account for fking choir?

There is no way a turnstile can loose money even from the clubs own figures which I would dispute and are now out of date.

We don't take cash either, and if we do get a little bit (the odd £20 or so sometimes), I make an online deposit from my own account into the choir's, and use the cash (eventually) myself.

 

[The Town Hall Clock]

Most likely not. Even that amount of cash needs secure collection, which is fixed rate and very expensive.

How do pubs get their takings collected? I'd imagine no pub is as rich as SAFC? How do they afford it?

Fair enough. With due respect you are the treasurer of a choir likely with a community bank account. SAFC has 40,000+ customers. Some perspective here.

We should be making it as easy as possible for people to attend the match. If it doesnt make much money fair enough but its not going to loose money (even on the clubs figures) and could possibly bring many long term benefits and importantly goodwill.

9,000 empty seats and some of supposed supporters want to make it hard for some people to attend the match. You need to give your heads a shake.

 

[The Town Hall Clock]

17p per £100 for note deposits here, on a similar scale to what SAFC would take if they sold in the region of 250 tickets.

Don't let them blind you with the cost excuse. Secure cash collection isn't as expensive as people are making out.

We knew that. The Cash Nazis have been full of Shite on various threads for weeks.

 

[Honess10]

I dont actually care tbh, it should be an option, at one gate in all stands, am I correct in thinking at the moment any issues at the turnstile are just redirected back to the ticket office as there are no staff at any turnstile to deal with it?

people going on about the cost or whatever to the club. Not being funny but who gives a shiny shite. It’s a community club. Not everything has to be efficient or make money. Even supermarkets etc have ‘loss leaders’. Plain and simple the club should have a walk up option. That can even be card only worst case

It's a normal business account with a bank specialising in charities. OK, we only have an income of around £50k pa, but we sing in professional venues, and, apart from the singers, everyone else involved is a professional musician or singer. Scale doesn't stop you doing things professionally, and it will cost you as much to go to one of our concerts as you'll pay at the SoL. Small =/= ramshackle.

Do you know a chap who goes by the name of "Nukehasslefan" by any chance?

If it's so expensive to deposit cash why do some businesses make it cash only for transactions under a certain amount, EG £5 minimum spend by card?

I can think of 2 off the top of my head that have a £5 minimum for cards. Card Shop place on Chester Road next to Post Office and the Harbour View pub down Roker. With processing cash being so expensive you would think they'd be glad for punters to use cards?
