I believe that this gesture is made to promote equality in our society and to oppose all forms of discrimination.

I can draw two conclusions from this. Firstly taking the knee is an empty gesture and it’s continuation at Holker Street would be ridiculous in the circumstances Secondly if you are white working class in this country you are at the bottom rung of society and nobody gives two hoots about your rights.

Don't let the old man in.
Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
Don’t agree with booing don’t agree with applauding. Taking the knee has lost all credibility since it was adopted by BLM. There was an excellent debate on talk sport the other day about it.MisterPleasant wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 4:13 pmHmm, I heard the odd 'boo' on Tuesday on the Pop side before they were drowned by the applause.EL CHAS wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 3:15 pm I see that before the Exeter and Aston Villa games the players ‘took the knee’.

Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
Having read todays programme notes by Paul Hornby and his take on going cashless for tickets on match days I have come to the conclusion he still does not get it. Something he does say that has not been mentioned is that at the ticket office in the fanzone for the Exeter game that did have a cash float for anyone wanting to pay cash for a ticket. Hopefully this will be the norm and will get more publicity than a couple of lines in the programme.

Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
I think the cash float was provided by the ticket hut themselves to help out...as the previous game they had used personal debit cards in exchange for the cash as Paul Hornby eluded to.Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 1:24 pm Having read todays programme notes by Paul Hornby and his take on going cashless for tickets on match days I have come to the conclusion he still does not get it.

Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
Good great work by those in the ticket hut. Hopefully this will become the norm and a cash purchase ticket hut will be provided on match days like many other elf 2 clubs do.mr_grey wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:34 pmI think the cash float was provided by the ticket hut themselves to help out...as the previous game they had used personal debit cards in exchange for the cash as Paul Hornby eluded to.Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 1:24 pm Having read todays programme notes by Paul Hornby and his take on going cashless for tickets on match days I have come to the conclusion he still does not get it.

Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
It should be been made very public by the club so those who want to use cash could see this info in various SM mediums etc & a few more would have attended todayMain Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 8:41 pmGood great work by those in the ticket hut.

Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
Glad to see that the club has at last listened to the supporters about the need for a cash turnstile and is providing one in the Fan Zone area.It was nice to hear that the club was prepared to change it's policy and has not forgotten it,s older supporters,shift workers and poorer families .I am sure we will now have more supporters turning up to each game as a result.Well done to.everyone concerned.

Re: We Need 1 Cash Gate
It'll be interesting to see how many people actually use this facility
