All while Ashton deafens us with a new PA in the SBR and sets off fire cannons equivalent to the NATO budget. Meanwhile fanzone presumably wacky races. |  | | |  |

Has to be more than 60:40, I know about 4 people that don't use an iPhone and I am very popular! |  |

😅 yep! God forbid the crowd is allowed to generate atmosphere at football anymore. Gonna be bloody nightmare with Ashton setting off his fire cannons and announcer bloke doing the blue army plus usual corporate video hype track dross. I don't come to football to see Greaves folding his arms in slo mo on a big screen while the yanks force-feed NFL to us. Oh well. Probably go further deaf this season. I shall amuse myself by pretending it's saying 'Marcus Evans the intelligence behind business' a la 10 years ago. [Post edited 5 Aug 19:11]

Portman Road needs to wake up a bit though, it wasn't just due to recruitment that Leeds and Sunderland were tough places to go. |  |

Agreed but it needs the supporters to wake up and stop being entitled so and sos I'm not sure that playing Blacked Eyed Peas louder than a jet is going to do much. |  | |  |

To be fair he's struggling with the idea of George Hirst leaving and the Cobbold stand being rebuilt, it's not a great surprise. |  |

lol touché But those are the official numbers - I’m sure if you delved into the split my demographics there would be some significant variation. |  | |  |

Most people I know use Android and I'm also well popular. Suspect I'm also a bit older than you though, so possibly an age demographic thing. |  |

As an FYI a lot of UK credit cards still don't work on Apple or Google and that relates to security issues with the apps in how security verification is undertaken. |
The point I’m making is that is unlikely to be a club decision. They won’t be the owner of the technology the creates and deploys the e-tickets. They will be using a provider for the service, and many of those just don’t support Samsung wallet yet. This will be especially true if the club get the service from a local tech company (which I hope they do). There is a cost associated with supporting each technology / API, and smaller companies just won’t be able to justify the cost to support what has bee (so far) a minority format & wallet. |  | |  |

| Queue predictions for Sunderland on 18:31 - Aug 5 by brogansnose | I've got apps to get into cricket grounds, for trains, flights and various concert venues which download to my Apple wallet with no problems at all. Can I get my ST to download ? Can I chuff. Safari. Who uses Safari ? |
The difference with these is that you’re using custom apps that process the e-ticket deployment - they don’t rely on a browser at all. This is how I thing the club should do it (other clubs do). Embed the capability into the ITFC app. That would put them in control, and eliminate these annoying dependencies. I think the club need to employ someone who is tech savvy |  | |  |
