    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.

    Love that idea. Maybe it could be done through the NFC chip that most phones come with nowadays?

    Do those units read barcode? Or are they a proximity switch?

    Progress is all very well, but where's the next Robert Lee going to come from?

    Panic on the streets of Charlton
    Panic on the streets of Bexleyheath
    I wonder to myself
    Could life ever be sane again?
    The Floyd Rd street that you slip down
    I wonder to myself
    Hopes may rise in the Star
    But Honey Pie, you're not safe there
    So you run down
    To the safety of the town
    But there's Panic on the streets of Charlton
    Sidcup, Greenwich, Shooters Hill
    I wonder to myself

    Burn down the turnstyles
    Hang the blessed RD
    Because the entry system he's just arranged
    IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
    Hang the blessed RD
    Because the system is a technological improvement but people don't want to be changed

    On the side-streets that you stagger down
    With your old fashioned season ticket in your dressing gown
    Hang the big screen, Hang the burgers, Hang the grass snakes
    Hang the lagers, Hang the service, Hang the vapers
    Hang the foxes, Hang the late trains, Hang the Rumours
    HANG the Rumours, HANG the Rumours.................



    not now it's under new ownership.....

    Love that idea. Maybe it could be done through the 14 KFC chips that most phones come with nowadays?
    Corrected for you.

    Does anyone know what's to stop some local herbert ripping that off on non match days.

    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.

    You'll blame the EU

    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
    Don't be a spanner.


    I'm clearly going to blame the public sector.

    They are stuck on with velcro, on match days only.

    But will they work? I was in the club shop the other day and they said they were having lots of problems with them.

    Looks like Sat Nav. And the destination looks like League 1.

    Have faith, everyone. I'm sure it will work but I might try getting in with my Oyster Card for the QPR game before buying a genuine ticket!

    Are they not positioned behind the doors that lock off the turnstiles?

    Damn you and your sensible observations!

    (I'm sure they will be, not sure which stand the turnstiles are in the photo, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a roller shutter that closes off the whole thing...)

    When are we likely to see these cards sent out, only 3 weeks to the first home game and I have not seen mine.

    Does the 100th person through the turnstyle get a home visit from Del & Rodney?
