Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

No disrespect intended to our fanbase but when I look around the stands at KR or away, our demographic is, I believe, relatively old compared with that of many (most!) other clubs.

Maybe this is why programme sales are not as poor at KR as other grounds with younger crowds - fans have always bought programmes and it is, as you say, an integral part of the match ritual.

As noted previously, I haven't bothered with buying much at the ground since going cashless and I have wondered how much (if anything) the club misses out on if there are many likeminded fans to me.

Unless my memory is failing me, pre-cashless the halftime draw prizes were a few £ hundreds higher. Whilst that is not necessarily a defining reason to bring back cash payments, if that is reflected in programmes and kiosk sales, how much is it costing the club?

Amuses me that we have a cashless stadium yet the 'unofficial' food outlet outside the ground has a hand-scrawled sign stating "Cash only" ... whilst we all know why that is(!), do people go there because they can't be arsed with cashless inside the stadium? Never having tried the unofficial outlet (as its offerings look to much like the alleged food dished up from the rusty caravan at Braintree!), maybe it's the quality of the food that draws the crowds and not the fact they accept cash.
