Mary D's The Townley or another?

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I have never used a cash card in a shop ever, not once. You have noticed they have tills in shops haven't you?

You said "Smaller businesses deal in cash mainly".

This just isn't true at all.

Of course shops have tills, what's that got to do with anything? My gripe is that in 2022, a pub having several "cash only" tills is mental.

You enjoy using cash. Good for you. The only time I ever use cash these days is the car wash, which is annoying as I never even carry a wallet, haven't done for years, I use Apple Pay for everything.

This is not uncommon. Not everyone's a Luddite.

Anyway, back to my point. Mary D's is a horrible shithole.

They won't let you back in the ground once you've left. Bit daft in my eyes and they haven't really got a valid reason

Appart from people coming into the ground to blow it up.

That sounds full on yank that, are we seriously moving on fully from the raw sawdust on the floor atmosphere to the themed American experience?

If we are we are further down the road to ruin than I thought we were.

Don't worry, you can still go to Mary Ds for a pint of piss.

Most small businesses use cash therefore believe it or not cash is a thing, nothing to do with being a luddite and in fact it makes you less of a drone.

To be fair if a dirty door handle bothers you and cigarette smoke makes you run for the fabreze the upcoming sports bars would suit you to a tee mate :)

Paid for with good old fashioned shillings and sixpences.

You can have your cheesy chips and spritzer after the game to wind you down.

I'm not saying they should stop accepting cash. I'd they did they's lose the business of the dinosaurs with their pockets full of sixpences and shillings wouldn't they.

They need to move with the times and accept contactless payments on every till - even have some contactless only tills, this would speed things up.

Wings and budweiser please.

You're doing it again, there is no reason why there should JUST be contactless tills is there?

As I said, not everyone wants to walk past a till make it ping and pay for their sherry.

FOC.

FOC.

And I wear that badge with a certain amount of pride, paying cash in a public house that has an atmosphere has a lot of merits.

Took my 13 yo twins in Mary Ds before the game yesterday and they loved the atmosphere

Why wouldn't they blow it up when they went in first time?

I’m not sure what the precise definition of a Sports Bar is but a bar that shows sport doesn’t necessarily have to be “Full on Yank” does it? In fact I’m not even sure what a Yank sports bar is.

As they go through security which isn't there after.

After Manchester Arena and 2015 in Paris, having people coming in when others are leaving is not going to happen.

There's loads of stewards on the exits at the end. More than there are before the game.

Give it a year or two and you'll probably see what a yank sports bar looks like, this is football, no tailgating no ice cream music and no beer hats.

Someone suggested opening a "Sports bar" let's not be naïve and not understand what one is, the matchday experience needs to be raw, not some coiffured imitation.

It has its knocker’s, but I’m a fan
