Cashless is not necessarily the same as contactless. If you have any type of bank card you should be able to use it.
"Payment options include chip and pin, contactless, as well as device payment using Android Pay, Apple Pay, etc."
A good point has been raised about youngsters who don't have bank accounts/cards.

There are contactless cards available for children as young as 11, with limits on payments allowed.
Definitely the way forward inside the stadium. Having experienced cashless at Tottenham it is much quicker for service time on the day and the club don't waste many man hours counting cash, bagging it and making a trip to the bank.
I dont often buy in the ground so wont really affect me, but surely both payment options (cash or card) should be available, I'd rather be in the queue behind someone waiting for £2-50 change from a fiver, than behind someone who's card is rejected and all the faffing about that ensues. How long does it really take to pay with cash anyway.
It's not the paying that is slow, it's the service in my experience, why can they not have pre poured hot drinks ready for half time, it's not like they'll be cold, you cant normally drink them for 10 minutes without 3rd degree burns to the mouth anyway

The last time we played Reading I was impressed with their beer service. Guys carried big containers strapped to their back, and moved amongst the crowd serving very quickly from a nozzle. Brilliant idea which I’ve never seen elsewhere.

Surely it's a similar percentage for debit/credit cards having traces of faeces on them as well!
Joking aside went to Spurs new ground for the first time last night. Stadium is completely cashless and worked a treat. Most sporting events are becoming like this (PDC World darts @Ally Pally) so it's great to see Argyle moving with the times!

Ha! We still have places here that only take cash. A couple of places do contactless, but the cashier will spend a few minutes explaining how it works, and you still have to use your pin and sign.
That's why I get funny looks in the UK when I use contactless and get all excited over how easy it is!
Oh my god, I worked in a bank for many years and handled huge numbers of banknotes on a daily basis. How am I still alive?mervyn":rf6xxo8p said:
Just had a look on the Spurs website to see how they cater for people who don't have the ability to pay in a cashless way.
You can get a card from the club shops which you can put money on and then use that at the tills. You can top up the card as and when you need to.
I guess Argyle will do something similar

Mainly the smaller, locals places. In pubs I tend to leave my card behind the bar and just scribble on the tab when I leave, as I'd be too scared counting all that cash out!
Well done to Argyle for tjhis move though, a step in the right direction. Now if they cold only sort out the high-speed beer dispensers......
