The Club has announced that QuickPay, the cashless payment system that has been operating on a trial basis at some refreshment kiosks in parts of the Upper West Stand concourse, will be withdrawn at the end of the current 2008/9 season.

The trial has seen an improvement in the speed of service and the system may be considered again in the future, however at the present time a full roll-out is not a priority.

For all remaining home games this season, supporters in the relevant areas will be able to pay with a mixture of card and cash on any transaction.

With immediate effect, supporters will no longer be able to top up their cards with cash, and are advised to use their card at remaining home games in order to run down account balances.

Any supporters who still have cash balances at the end of the season will be able to apply for a refund by completing a refund form. The usual £1 admin fee will be waived.

All Member Card and Season Ticket holders in the relevant areas will be contacted directly by the Club, and any queries should be emailed to royalsquickpay@readingfc.co.uk
