‘Everton Free WiFi’ at the Hill Dickinson Stadium

In fact... I think they're really missing a trick to milk everyone and their mother! I mean, I seem to pay through the nose wherever I happen to want 'connectivity'.

I'm not sure which network Sky Mobile uses but it seems problematic in most places I find myself. But I bought a dandy little Vodaphone MoFi dongle thingy years ago and that is usually brilliant, still going strong!

He'll wanna know if there's somewhere he can plug in his steam radio!

They could send you free adverts that pop up every 5 minutes with a catchy Tik-Tok video, or a 'starting gift' at Free Bets R Us.

There are not many places that charge for WiFi now. Some can be a bit iffy, depending on how many people join it, which creates a capacity issue and could be a problem in the stadium.

Even a lot of the train providers have improved. Avanti West Coast is really good. Just a shame they always go on strike or there are engineering works, especially for Sunday matches.

The days of two or three blokes in the Lower Gwladys with a transistor radio shouting out scores relevant to us!!!

Now, most have a smart phone and are calling out the scores left, right and centre. I don't want to know. Mine goes in my pocket and doesn't come out until after the match.

If you don't see the cash leaving your hands, you are likely to spend more. Method in the madness here, make people think they are being given a favour or something for nothing. It's never what you think.

Eventually, if you try to pay with cash, you can't. A cashless stadium will need WiFi across the board, drinks, food, tickets, shirts, even using the toilet, smartphones, bank details, photo identification.

And don't give me the old, "Oh, they are all doing it now." That proves my point then, doesn't it? Next you will have to buy Everton cash cards that can only be used at the new stadium. You are being suckered in.

Me, I'll stick to cash and Dave Abrahams's steam radio.😁

We are all being pushed into a cashless society if you want to or no. It's so governments can see what you're spending.

The world's turning horrible.

It doesn't sit with everyone, but I prefer it. If anything, it's better as you're only spending what's charged as opposed to taking out, let's say £100, that you won't use.

I suppose it's what you get used to.

I've seen the club card system work on the continent. You load it up and then use it to buy drinks and food on the concourses. I have one for Schalke.

You are there to watch a match with other fans, for heavens sake. I never can understand why people zombify themselves with technology… and I await with pleasure the day a solar flare melts the lot.

If I'm listening to a match on steam radio and there's a goal etc I have time to go and see it happen on Tv. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to put a bet on and make a killing!!
