Turnstile Complexity

Who has a printer nowadays? If so I wonder if they keep it next to the fax machine?

I have a multi-function colour laser printer. There are times when you have to use paper, especially when dealing with government departments. Recently, I've needed to print out bank statements etc, for proof of address. Needless to say, the fax connection is not set up - I've no landline.

The whole print at home thing is old hat tech and needs replacing so you can scan on your phone . Imagine having to print at home to use boots advantage points or Tesco or m&s points systems

For sure the bar code reader element of the access reader doesn't seem as effective and forgiving as the chip reader for the normal cards
 
I love it when people lose tha ability to count (if they even had the ability in the first place)

Love to see them looking for their seat, seat number 178 for example. "Seat 138, not that's not it, seat 139, not that's not it, seat 140 , no that's not it.

We also need to discuss the elephant in the room with cup games. There were very obviously people in the West Stand that were absolutely not West Stand material. Stewards just looked on gormlessly.

I can't believe how many super fans we have. It's time letters went in and a pressure group lobbied for the vetting of potential supporters.

It can be a problem at unfamiliar stands or grounds finding your row and seat - compounded by many clubs printing the details in small font on tickets, sometimes in a grey type face. If it is a night match or in winter light it can be really hard to read where to go. Ask a steward at Blackburn and he shrugs his shoulders and disappears back into his hood.
Some grounds have unfamiliar ticket reading technology. You approach the turnstile wondering which way up to present your ticket. Where is the barcode that is going to be scanned etc. It can be a relief when there is a real person behind the grill doing the scanning for you.
The fact that some groups deliberately choose to sit where they want and not on their allocated seat numbers is another matter.
 
The sheer anxiety of scanning your ticket and the turnstile blocking you out can be terrifying.

I ensure that I have one hand on the turnstile and one hand scanning the ticket on every entry.

I take from your astonishment that you use a printer regularly? Maybe I am in the minority but I honestly have not printed anything for at least 5 years. Prior to that I used to print the odd thing at work.

I don't know whether I have just phased out using things that would require a printer or whether processes have changed?

You do still get asked to print for some gigs, though less and less.
 
Haven't used our printer in years.
Oldest son (mid 20's)has never owned one.
It all about uploading pdfs/ screenshots etc online.
Also it's great to be able to travel at home and abroad without carrying any printouts 👍.
