dieter; the penny's just dropped. How the hell did you qualify for an AMEX if your not worth 5o bucks to your name ?

Anyhow I'm off to watch to watch Moana for now and Hope that your finances improve and you stop moaning while I'm away !

Isn't Moana a town in NSW across the border from Echuca? Better get a move on then, the roos come out at dusk.

I just fudged the figures. Anyway, Amex is desperate to sign customers. Also, please don't tell my wife about this card.

If you had cash and you live in Thornbury and you like Christians you're obviously related to the Salems and drive a Mercedes and I know that your fellow countrymen are cash dealers. I deliberately spelt c not hash.Okay.  I'm glad you had cash and had a good day, I had to go home and get nagged to death by my wife.

i can't believe you missed out on a cracking good game, diets, just because you were too stubborn and ornery to go to the local atm at casey after travelling a 100 clicks to get there.

It's about that old fashioned notion of customer service, young man. Always make it easy and comfortable for your customers is the motto of every smart business person.

Why should I have to walk back to the car park, find an ATM, drive back, find another park, walk back to the pearly gate and miss the first 15 minutes?

As the say in the Irish Classics, Fluck the geese who made it difficult for me to pay them to enter their venue, and if they have relatives in America, Fluck them too.

Dieter, come with Uncle Bitter, Biffen and I to a H&A game early in the season and we'll scrape together enough loose change to get you in. I can't promise you won't end up intoxicated at 2am in  some sleazy, sticky-carpet bar in St Kilda. Your Amex card will almost certainly take a hammering and you'll have some explaining to do re the missus. But at least you'll see the footy!

Agree. It's just that I'm 67, have a crippled arthritic left knee, also suffering from a lergy today, get out the violins Wiseblood, weep.

I know there were potential customers who had the same issue, they were wandering forlornly around Casey Fields looking for an ATM. Like I say, why make it difficult for your customers? Think I'll have to barrack for a 21st century team...

Sounds like a perfectly beastly experience to me. The promise of loose change sounds tempting. Anyway, we'll lose and I'll become teary and morbid again.

Casey Fields is not my favourite place in the world, but complaints about the lack of eftpos are ridiculous. It is a suburban football ground, not a shopping centre. Buy a membership, pre purchase tickets, bring some cash, go up the road a few hundred metres to the shops. There are so many easy solutions to this first world problem, Especially when you are travelling so far. My family had a great day out.

Poita, this is 2017. There were thousands of people at Casey today. I was one of, according to the ticket operator, 150 people who expected to pay by Eftpos. Buy a membership, mate, I'm 67, have been to two games since 1987, questioned begged: why should I have to buy a membership just to watch one pre-season game?

Pre-purchase? Why should I? I only decided to go at midday.

Bring some Cash? I brought fifteen bucks, about as much as I ever need to carry because I know in the civilized world I can use my card.

Going up the road a few hundred metres is not as easy as it sounds for someone with crippling arthritis. 

Glad your family had a great day out, sounds like you are one of the wise virgins in one of the Gospels, can't remember which.

It's just that these days, especially at a function which is going to attract thousands, ignoring the simple 'first world' fact that most of us expect to pay by card, without letting the customers know that this facility would not be available is bulldust.

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. 

 

I'm with you skinny - lack of eftpos at significant venues or events is a [censored] joke.

I rarely carry cash unless I'm doing err...  "business" at establishments like the GAT.

Eftpos freely available for the food BB.  I have just got back from the most fantastic double-bill. Both teams did themselves proud and My Bro, son and I agreed it was a fantastic day.

NB.  I am a member and I did have cash.

Then it makes no sense not to have it for anything else !! ;) (Eftpos )

What if I confessed I don't have an Amex card? And that I've had three missus'es. One of whom follows the footy but barracks for the E Coli Wobblers, one of them is dead and the other is Polish and just wants me to mow the lawn on the weekend. Give me a break, Puntkick, my life is hard, hubble bubble toil and trouble. All I wanna do is drive to Casey in peace, buy a friggin ticket just like I can buy one anywhere else in the universe and watch my team. You got a problem with that? If so, it's not a first world problem it's a mental problem and indicates an incapacity to take even one step in another man's shoes. And, remember, the shoes are worn by a dude crippled with arthritis in his once well-functioning left knee.

My advice to you is that you repent and say three hail mary's.

Good to see some humor and 'Robust' discussion. Alleluia to both. God knows we need them. Which reminds me, when are the troglodyte Luddites gonna acknowledge there are eftpos machines in Casey?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
