That's a very open-minded and positive attitude.
As I understand it, this will be trialled in the Upper West stand - ISTR at the Blackburn match.
You'll load up your member card like an oyster card, and then use that to pay at the kiosks. I'm assured there'll be plenty of ways to load the card up (machines or even over t'internet) so why shouldn't it work ok? This type of system is used in thousands of schools, colleges and work canteens.

Dirk Gently I just give up! Perhaps the club may just have thought of the potential problems and found ways around them. Who knows? But they have been working at this for a long time and so they're trying to make it a success. That's why they're doing things like piloting it in just one stand (Upper West) so they can see how it works and maybe make changes before they roll it out. Unlike previous implementations, which I do think they've learnt from.
But hey, why bother? - it's going to be a disaster!

Trialling it in the UW is the way forward, but when it goes wrong in the East and away concourses, all hell will, no doubt, ensue.
All I'm doing is stating my position so I can either be pleasantly surprised or say "I told you so".

But the aim of the trial is to iron out problems and so make it less likely that it will go wrong somewhere else - and also to develop contingency plans so that they know what to do if it does go wrong.
And the worry from the number of projects that I've done is that when users approach an implementation expecting it to go wrong then it most likely will - these things are often self-fulfilling prophesies.
