Just got back from a 100 kilometere wild goose chase to Casey Fields and back.

I arrived at 1.50, walked round the ground from the car park in the paddock, queued up to pay and saw the sign 'Cash Only'.

I asked if there was an eptpos facility nearby, he replied in the nearest shopping centre. I said this is a troglodyte sham, he said, 150 others have said that.

I walked back to my car and drove home. 

Goodbye Casey Fields, I'll not be going back.

Who plans their day in 2017 to the extent that one must assume that an AFL fixture is played at a venue that doesn't have eftpos facilities? I can understand it in an under-age suburban competition bu

I don’t see what everyone’s complaining about. The last time I went to Casey, they hadn’t invented money there yet. I had to barter with livestock.

In thisday and age no eftpos is ridiculous. Wife does markets and even we have mobile eftpos pay facility.  Agree with Dieter, very poor, last century thinking.

Agree its 2017 yet Casey must think its 1977. Get the mobile eftpos.

ANZ charges us (an northern suburbs sporting club)  $20/mth for a machine.  It pays for itself in 3 minutes !! Good for the canteen especially. 

Hardly rocket science is it Smithy.

Casey Fields is a bot like Stalingrad, now that you mention it, flat, desolate and populated by people from yesteryear, shall we say?

boney, toothbrush, and now diets what a trio. remember, when in rome, do as the romans do (i.e. when in casey, take cash) - lol

(i do agree it's not rocket science, but if i'd done a 100km roundtrip i would've gone to the local atm and not spat the ole dummy)

I have heard that many people in Casey take cash, (and anything else portable that you don't tie down) especially if you don't hang on to you wallet very carefully.

Not a problem for members. 

Silly not to carry some cash anyway. They should have just let you in. 

It goes further though. No one carries much in cash nowadays. So what occurs when you want that pie ( possibly a good thing to be saved from rethinking ?) or beer etc. A LOT of folk just wave the phone or card. 

I know ...requires 21c thinking...:rolleyes:

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
