Fleetwood Town FC has teamed up with two county firms to install new point of sale technology throughout Highbury Stadium and training centre Poolfoot Farm.

Bispham-based Card Saver, one of the UK’s fastest-growing card payment processing providers and the club’s official back of shirt sponsor, recently partnered with Leyland-based Bleep UK PLC, to provide the latest in payment technology.

Andy Pilley, owner of Fleetwood Town and Card Saver, said: “We are always looking for ways to improve our service, and the new technology installed by Card Saver has transformed the match day experience.

"It's really pleasing that the feedback from both customers and staff has been fantastic."

Phil Davies, facilities and operations director at the club said: “Often there can be lengthy queues at the kiosks within the concourse area, but I’ve never seen them so low, and I’m sure it’s down to the transaction speed of the new tills.”

Gordon Bolton, managing director of Bleep UK, said: “One of the biggest frustrations for football fans is queuing for food and beverages on a matchday – something Bleep’s point of sale technology is already helping to reduce at Highbury.

"Our stadium solution also improves service and increases spend per head, whilst driving revenue across concourse, hospitality and retail areas.

“We are delighted to be working with this ambitious, forward thinking club and this is just the beginning of an exciting partnership between Fleetwood Town FC and Bleep.”
