To cover their s if they cock up i'd assume.
The cards will more than likely be sent out before the first home game, i think its just a waiting game. People need to relax!
Cards seem to work everywhere else, im glad we are moving on with the times, as much as i loved that ticket book its much easier having a card.

| We have had a letter this morning from Saints telling us our swipe cards should be with us for the Wire game. We have to put it in the plastic sleeve of the season ticket book with the barcode showing and take them both with us to all home games. If for any reason it doesn't arrive in time for the first game then we have to use our voucher from our season ticket book.

I didn't. Just my season ticket, no swipe card with it.

To be fair to the club, they did say in the shop weeks ago that they had already gone off to Widnes. The delay could be at the Widnes end and not the Saints end.

Damn. I had my rugby bus pass neatly tucked in there! I can see me losing one or more of these things at some point during the season.

I don't see why I need both. I have the swipe card, even if the reader isn't working, why can't i just show my card to the turnstile attendant?

I presume it's to make sure that only hose people with tickets get in should the card readers not be working. By insisting that you bring the paper version as well, in the event of that happening they'll just rip the appropriate voucher out of your book. If you don't have your book with you then it's your own fault as we've been told several times that we must bring both to the Halton Stadium to ensure entry! This will stop unscrupulous people passing their seasoncards on to their mates and saying the reader isn't working/ recognizing my card.

I totally agree with you, it's been used at stadiums up and down the country for a few years now so I don't see why it won't work at the Stobart. It may just be Saints being cautious. I'm not sure on the Stobart Stadiums highest attendance but maybe they're worried that the probable sell out for the Wire game will be too much for the system to handle. Do we know if it's newly installed there? Or have they had it for a while now?

In which case we don't need the books so why issue them?
But if they think the swipe cards won't work (which they must do or we wouldn't have the books) they'll have to man them anyway unless they can magic up a full crew of turnstile attendants at 2 minutes notice on a Friday night when it turns out that they don't work.

Intertesting point, if I have a card and a book can I get 2 people in? If not then that means you'll have to show both and if you forget one or the other you won't get in. Otherwise I can give my swipe card to someone else and then go up and say I've forgotten my card but here's my book. Then the 2nd person swipes in.

Presumably because there would not then be any evidence that you had attended.

But why does that matter? They'll count my season ticket as a sale anyway.
