After we played Sunderland I read on Twitter our fans were praised for not throwing coins down on Sunderland fans below. Sounds like it is an issue with other clubs fans going there.

is this their version of a northern tax? can't be right, it is not illegal to have coins and away fans are stuck up in the gods up there. an olympic discus thrower would struggle.

It’ll slowly move onto the pre pay method so the clubs can gain interest on pre paid systems like Oyster cards do.
Fine as long as the infrastructure/wifi/connection is up to scratch in a crowded situation. Norwich was indeed cashless, and I spent five minutes trying to buy one programme while the geezer waved his card machine around in the air trying to get a better signal.
Saw Standard Liege play earlier in the year. Completely cashless and all pre paid cards.
Probably the real reason for the ban. Just wish they weren’t so snide about it and consulted fan groups and the FSA.
Edit: I see this only affects away fans!

It was away fans that were throwing coins down on the home fans below that was the main cause of the ban,but surely if the stewards did their jobs it should be easy to spot the idiots doing it. All the coins confiscated will go to a local charity I think.Still wrong that they should punish everyone for the actions of a few idiots though.

How is this even legal? You can't just confiscated legal tender from someone who hasn't done anything wrong
You can deny entry to private property for any reason as long as you don’t discriminate, I suppose. I would hope it was made clear when the ticket is sold.

I suppose it's down to who decides what discrimination means.
Well it's the start of the end for buckets being rattled at half time to raise money to save football clubs.
While we're on the matter, my urine is boiled when spectators are required to leave food in bins before being allowed entry into events, so that they can be fleeced once inside. I can understand bottles and cans, but food?

Yep, and after being treated as grown ups for a while, we're no longer allowed the lid on a bottle of drink again !

Yep, this really does boil my pish. Bought a bottle of water at the game on Saturday, but had to throw most of it away because apparently at 51 years of age, I can't be trusted with a bottle top

The sad thing is, there are 51 year knobheads who would have thrown it.
But let’s be honest it’s not about that. It’s the contempt we are all held in and marketing opportunities in manipulating our match day habits.
