In what respect? No problems as far as we were concerned, in fact we got in the ground faster. No problems getting in or out of the WRE.
Surprised with the replies stating no issues at all.
We went as a group of paying customers (i struggle to get the full value of the season ticket so just go to the games i can make).
We were ushered around to the training ground entrance at 2.55pm. The queue for the 4 turnstiles was way back to the entrance on wheldon road. Took us 30mins to get from there to the front of the queue. Of the 4 turnstiles around there, 2 were ticket, one was juniors/concessions only and the other paying adults.
One of our friends who had a ticket was told he could not go through the junior turnstile with his 10yr old son as he was paying for him. The 10yr old kid had to queue alone and wait on the opposite side (outside) of the ground for a further ten minutes to us as people were complaining to the till person they hadn't been given the correct change (from the back door).
Entry to the turnstiles was all flooded and sand we had to jump over sandbags to gain entry. I understand the weather was bad but 2 sandbags ?! It also wouldn't have been hard for Cas to have swept the flooded water out of the way before the game. I understand it would have filled back up but not for a good few hours until the rain started pouring down at half time.
We wanted drinks and the toilet at half time but the toilets on princess street were out of order. I mean come on Cas, it's the first game of the season??! The nearest bar was the complete opposite side of the ground?! £20 extra revenue lost there Cas.
