Isn't 'electronic entry' what Sherlock Holmes used to say to Dr Watson.

Well you were quick to bloody view it 🙂
What can go wrong with Electronic Entry? Fans will be in at the Speed of Light.
186,000 miles a second. are you sure about that. ?
well 1/100th of that, but considering the short distance from Outside to In, it be fast if it's Electronic.
We'll have a couple of home friendlies to test it out.
In the future though, fans will be able to purchase tickets for away games on their "home" season card as all the clubs will use the same computer system. In decades to come, kids will never believe that you had to get up at 5am and stand in a queue halfway down Deepdale Road for 6 hours three weeks before a game just to get a ticket when they'll be able to order one with an app on their phone without leaving the house.
Well we don't want the fans to quantum tunnel the way in and avoid the turnstiles altogether! Bit slower please.

They’ve got electronic ticketing before you’ve got tarmac roads ?. ??
Yes, we’ll be beaming in.
Almost - its was when Holmes and Watson were indulging in fruit themed sex games....

Just wait until the next time we get to a play-off final, the memories will come flooding back !
Interesting point about using our cards for away games, it would mean all clubs co-ordinating their electronic ticketing systems, but it can't be that difficult in the 21st century.

As I posted on another thread earlier---Electronic turnstiles? Well at the moment I view on my computer what seats are available, ring up ask for that seat, pay by card and collect it on the day, usually without any problems---So what will Electronic turnstiles bring to the table for me or others like me I wonder?---I sincerely hope they test the system properly and at regular intervals and have a backup system available, because if it breaks down I can see a lot of angry supporters who having taken the trouble to come to the ground, may well say ‘Sod It’ in future

Well with the new system you'll see what seats are available, click buy and it will go onto your card, you turn up on match day and stick the card in the turnstile scanner and walk in. That must be easier surely?
Ha Ha Ha........ Where do you get them from Matic ??
I was thinking about this last night............. I attend about 4 or 5 games a season these days and when i do, i purchase my ticket online and select my preferred seat...
Then the ticket is sent to me through the post and i have a hard copy ticket which clearly shows where i am sitting...
When i use my new card how will i demonstrate on the day what seat i have selected ??
IF it works---What happens when it breaks down, or we get an electric failure at the ground---That’s what I mean when I say I hope they test it properly and regularly---Remember the TSB system change over---That when well didn’t it?

Other places have readers dotted around that you can stick the card in and it will show you where the ticket is for. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
You're right John it could break down, but there are dozens of these systems working all around the country which work on a daily basis.
