been here before Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Pish. Bring back the old paper voucher ones and the signs above the turnstyle with what number to tear out. And dont forget the different colour ones at the back for cup games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Reynolds Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I use a third party app at the moment so happy I can add it with the rest now. A photo/screenshot works anyway in a pinch. They won't be getting rid of the plastic cards just yet so folk can chill oot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
been here before Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Alternatively just take a picture of your ST and scan it at the turnstyles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the advantage to the club ? You’ll still be able to use a card. I’ve got a photo of my card’s QR code so I can use my phone already. Handy for letting someone else use your ST without having to meet them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Loved the physical season ticket booklets. The joy of tearing it out as a kid was brilliant That said there's no need for anything other than a QR code these days so makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4nny_ Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Just take a picture of the barcode on your season card and use the picture on your screen. I’ve been doing it for ages and works fine. Always got my season ticket on me anyway incase it doesn’t, but I’ve never had an issue. Suppose it depends on your screen settings too!

Francis Albert Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Is this an alternative to having a physical st card. If so fine if it keeps techy obsessives happy.

You just stick to the ST you've never failed to remember. Good. If it is a cjoice then no problem. But "technology" seems to have a way of becomiming unavoidable. I actually have a bit of aversion to the use of the word "technology" to describe elsectrons flitting about in a bit of plastic. The Forth Bridge, Clydeside shipyards, the Flying Scotsman are more my idea of technology. As opposed to toys.

Debut 4 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Should trial a cash turnstile for us (semi) oldies. Like a wee trip down memory lane. “Oldies” trying to get a lift over or giving the operator a “tenner hard cash” to let you through…. This is why we need a standing area to allow for people sneaking in and be able to handle the numbers. 🙃 Edited February 7 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
