Casey Fields Stone Ages

[dieter 3,325]

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.

It is what it is. Been there a few times. Problem was the car parking. Eftpos? WtF?

Its called planning your day.

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 but there were thousands of people there.

sorry diets, bad logistics on your part. remember russia 

[beelzebub 23,382]

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. 

[Skuit 10,031]

Strange. Just yesterday I tried depositing some cash into an account at a bank near your homeland. I was told they don't deal with cash anymore. ?!

[spirit of norm smith 16,574]

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?

[Vogon Poetry 2,095]

Not a problem for members. 

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

[Moonshadow 17,676]

When you arrive at Casey, wind your watch back 30 years.

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.

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...

Casey Fields is more like Albania than Russia.

Your doing Albania a disservice. 

Albania has its drawbacks but it is more interesting.

And in many out of the way towns they have EFTPOS.

I had a great day at Casey Fields, you'll get over it.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,962]

I used eftpos in Kandahar in 2008, probably less dangerous there than Cranbourne as well.
