There are 46 card readers installed on the turnstiles at Fulham's Craven Cottage stadium. But installing the readers wasn't without its problems. Matthew McGrory, head of IT at Fulham FC, said. "The stand is Grade 1 Heritage listed. We weren't allowed to touch anything here."

That meant channels had to be dug in the concrete floor to lay electric cables, and the blue system boxes for each reader had to be carefully attached to the wall without anything being drilled directly into the brickwork.
