How will these machines keep pencil cases out of the ground?5
-
I think the Premier League version does have a pencil case detector.5
-
Some of the turnstile booths are looking pretty tired, so will need money spent on them anyway.1
-
So has anybody got a complete, mint, unused, pristine "last one ever issued" 2014/15 season ticket book to donate to the museum?4

That will give us over 50 points, how many kept us up last year? That means the bottom 3 need 30 to be safeHantsAddick said:

Where will we be after another ten games though. We have won six games all season. Without investment and perhaps a change of Manager we are sinking like a stone. Watching Charlton is so predictable, waste goal scoring opportunities and then concede from a set piece, over and over again. We need at least another twenty one points, can anybody say they are confident of us getting them?cafcnick1992 said:

Ha. I'm still waiting for the day, when you don't take a contrary stance. I'm yet to see it.colthe3rd said:Always a pleasure to see that improvements are used as a stick to beat the Belgians with. Long overdue this change, well done RD.

Is it possible to photocopy your barcode and keep it as a spare? Would it still work on the machine?
If you forget the card, or it snaps or breaks (like an ipad screen
), having a back up bar code would be handy. 0 -
What if you lose the photocopy? you better photocopy me one to look after, just incase.seth plum said:Is it possible to photocopy your barcode and keep it as a spare? Would it still work on the machine?

As they are talking about 'print at home' tickets I would assume photocopying would work - sounds like a good idea; I may do it myselfseth plum said:Is it possible to photocopy your barcode and keep it as a spare? Would it still work on the machine?

Wouldn't it be an idea for tickets/season tickets to be able to keep on your Passbook on the iPhone and other smart phones. So you only have to carry your phone and scan it.2

You're shafted if your phone is in for repair to the screen though.cafc-4-life said:Wouldn't it be an idea for tickets/season tickets to be able to keep on your Passbook on the iPhone and other smart phones. So you only have to carry your phone and scan it.

That's why they send a physical copy as well. Which makes it possible for only one to be scanned on a day.seth plum said:

On a serious note how are they going to monitor U11 or U18 tickets. Is it going to be as useless at the Underground where it says 'Child ticket' on the screen?0
-
I'm sure I read on the Fans Forum minutes the other day that a light will turn green if an adult ticket is accepted, but any child/concessions tickets will turn amber allowing a steward to check if the ticket holder looks like they shouldn't have a child/concessions ticket.
So potentially this new system will still be a slow process of entering the ground if the stewards are forever checking people's tickets.0 -
So what happens when the machine won't accept the card?
We miss the match despite paying our £300 plus "because the machine says so" COUGH!
I'm dreading it!
It WILL go wrong.5 -
One step at a time fella. We've only just got rid of paper tickets, it'll be at least another five years before we entertain even more technology!cafc-4-life said:Wouldn't it be an idea for tickets/season tickets to be able to keep on your Passbook on the iPhone and other smart phones.

I am completely at ease if the machine only lets one bar code in to each match, I understand it needs to do that. I am really talking about a back up plan when it comes to photocopying the bar code.
I also am entirely with Len Glover on this one, where the god like machine will be declared as unable to go wrong, and blame lies with the customer. The only resolution if the machine does not recognise your card is to be escorted to your seat with a steward to see if there is anybody else in it (mind you a scammer would sit in a different seat).
I am also wondering what happens if the reading screen gets scratched, or a vandal paints over it so it is buggered (yes I have been watching Humans on C4, and see how the machines can go wrong).
I am all in favour of a swift entry system, and I am assuming all possible going wrong scenarios are accounted for before we have to confront the system, because I wouldn't like to be denied entry after shelling out for the match because some geek says the machines are omnipotent.2 -

PL54 will blame Airman Brown
Fish will blame the BBC/Labour party
Seth will blame Roland
I'll blame Ben Kensell
Harvey's Gardner will say it won't have happened if we'd signed Danny Haynes
AFKA will blame Vanilla
Grapevine will blame someone but it will take too long to read his post to find out who
Viewfinder will blame the academy and our failure to score from throw-ins
Prague will blame West Ham and make a FOI request from the club
Seriously Red will say it is all part of the plan and what's not to like

Five seconds?Henry Irving said:
That seems like a problem waiting to happen, the turnstyles can get stuck, or somehow you push them in the wrong way or something. Five seconds suggests you have to get it right first time, I would've said nearer ten seconds to cater for the little dithering kids, or first timers, or maybe the elderly and such like.
Also you have to stick with the same turnstyle even if it is an unlucky one? If that happens we're relegated for sure.
Also the video does not tell the customer what to do if it goes wrong, presumably there is a tiny telephone number etched into the metalwork somewhere that says you have to ring up Biggleswade or some such place.
I want this to work, don't get me wrong, but I also think it had better. Remember what my old dad used to say, 'if it ain't there, it can't go wrong'.2 -
Never get a blanket, flask and pack of Werthers through in five seconds, no way!2

Ahh, you've made the mistake of using Turnstile 15 too then?seth plum said:

The ones at Chelsea are pony with people trying to use them too fast.
The person that they took out of the turnstyle booth is now employed to put his hand over the ticket reader until the pre-requisite time has lapsed. He then removes his hand from the reader to allow the next plastic to present their ticket.
Now that's progress!!4 -
I can't work out, if some of the comments on here, are serious or jokes.
If they are serious, I wonder how some people manage to get through the day.
They must be frightened of their own shadow.
Maybe I've been whooshed ?
