Scanning

[LeedsExile]

Precisely SUFC and no technology to go wrong. There is also usually more than one steward handing out tickets so the process is seamless.

Approx 1,000 today

How did the attendances compare on Monday and Tuesday?

So people want a scrap of paper to carry rather than rely on technology?

Who is it who are No Change Essex? The club or supporters?

But that isn't what is being said.  Use the technology to get people in and out the ground but during breaks use paper to help speed up the process.

Once the technology has bedded in what will be the time saving between a steward giving a member a piece of paper to put in his pocket and the member holding his card over a scanner and it going beep?

Everyone is moving to paperless now - it is the modern world.

I totally agree and i do everything via my phone, theres an idea, membership scanning via my phone, anyway i think their are 3 issues. 1 the scanning software - If the person who scanned before you has entered the ground the steward has to scan first to change the IT equipment so it knows you are leaving etc which i found out on Monday does not help you leave the ground quickly.  2. The stewarding as nice as they are up to date with IT or speedy they are not and 3 the paying public(inc members) who aren't always acceptant of change.  i think the turnstyle scanning mentioned earlier in the week on this board is a good idea and would take the scanning away from being in the hands of the stewards.

Thanks for comments, to install ticket barriers would cost a huge amount, obviously something we are looking at for longer term. Thanks

Thanks Danny, i don't see there be too many complaints once the season is in full flow.
