Match Day Changes

Big things are all food & drink will be cashless, bars closing
10mins before kickoff, & Stewards managing people returning to
the stands in North & South stands during play...
Personally I'm okay with going cashless in the bars & food, as
it means I don't have to remember to get cash out before leaving
home. I'm pretty much cashless for everything else nowadays, so
if it's been shown to speed things up, I'm all for it.
The bars closing 10 mins before kickoff is probably a good idea,
as it'll cut down on the people who get to their seats after the
game has started. Just have to remember to queue a little
earlier for the beer if you want to take one to your seat, I
guess.
As I'm in the East stand, I'm unaffected by the change in when
people are allowed back into the stand during play. Any thoughts
from those in the North or South Stands?

Actually that's not what it says - the policy is that queues
will close 10 mins before kick-off, which is fair as long as the
speed of service in the Kings Bar is improved from the end of
last season!

The only issue i can see with the cashless system is that we
seem to invite a lot of young rugby clubs and schools every
week, how are they gonna pay for things?
and im in the south stand, not being let in until a break in
play is the best thing i've heard all summer. Normally spend
about ten minutes each match trying to see past people that just
wander around during the game.

You are, of course, correct. Plus it's only for the Kings and
Honours(Members as was) bars. The Quins Head & outside bars will
still be as before.

Waiting for a break in play is a good thing, something that I do
anyway much to the confusion of some of the stewards.

I've had similar problems. When I've been to the bar in the
corner, I don't want to go back to my seat until the play has
stopped. So I stand to the side out of the way of anyones view
and they tell me I can't stand there and need to either move
further back or go to my seat.

All fine with me. Appreciate the difficulties for kids paying
for things but overall I think the change will be for the better
and queues should speed up as a result.

The big question is.. "Hopefully the stewards are interested in
Rugby, and laws, but how long is a break in play?"
Personally not affected, but many will be, I'd prefer a random
few moving around coming & going, rather than a group let loose!
Cashless, good, as long as everybody is aware prior to entering
the ground. Those that arrive with just cash in pocket aren't
able to purchase anything, does this include the shops?? Sths
aware, but what about the occasionals? Needs to be clear on
printed tickets!
Bars and queues, ok, but at ko there's still going to be those
buying drinks when the serving recommences, and then going to
their seats.....

Love it. Tired of slagging off the management and players...
let’s pick on the stewards.

Let's give it all a chance and see what transpires. The club is
at least trying, they're listening to our gripes and trying to
address them/ You can't ask for much more than that. The issue
with people moving from their seats and the time it takes to get
served at the bar are two there are complaints about every
season.
Now if they could just stop the huge number of players, subs,
officials, medics, water boys, people on bicycles and whoever
from absolutely blocking the view of the North stand if you're
positioned low in the West.... I'd be most happy.
