dont think it will be the ticket office that gets the stick today


we didn't like the new game......."find the open turnstyle"

shambles springs to mind............got my ticket for the west stand after lining up with everyone else for 15mins - then had to queue at turnstile for 5 mins cos there was only 1 open...... was a joke.

Me and my 2 lads turned up as new season ticket holders - me with my temporary ticket, them with their books full of vouchers.

We found an open turnstile and tried to get in with the vouchers, only to be told we had to queue up at the ticket office to exchange the voucher for a ticket!!!! Nothing was mentioned when my friend picked up the voucher book about having to queue again on match day. We then joined one queue, got to the front and was told we'd have to join Andy's queue for a kids ticket!!!!

I didn't want to argue with the ticket office staff (they're only doing their job) and there were only a couple of people in Andy's queue anyway. I rang my friend who was on the way and told her not to go straight to the turnstiles but to queue at the ticket office - needless to say she missed kick off.

We then got to the turnstiles and I was told my kids could go through turnstiles 21-24 but I'd have to go to the other side of the stand and use 1-4 I refused, and they eventually let me in.

What a farce - it's a good job we arrived at 2.30pm

Someone couldn't organise the proverbial in a brewery

We went through a turnstyle with 2 adult season tickets and a voucher torn out of a junior ticket book. no problem

Picked up four season ticket 'tickets' earlier in the week (including one for a junior ST that wasn't used in the end) and went in our usual North Stand turnstile on the Harriers side, no bother at all

I noticed on the West Stand only one turnstyle open and a very long queue, and a series of long queues at the ticket office.

I walked more or less straight into the North Stand then was dazzled by scores of bright orange jackets inside the stadium.

Whilst outside, they are not inside spending money.

Now, if I were doing some kind of time and motion study at that time, the conclusion would have been 'stop chatting and cottaging outside the toilets, and open some more bloody turnstyles'.

who exactly should man the turnstiles? the regular staff where told they weren't needed by the LSV management and so weren't there

Whoever LSV see fit.

Folk queuing up outside for 15 mins are not inside buying pies.

The aforementioned glare of orange high-viz would suggest the stewards, I guess.
