Especially in summer.

Travelling from Fax this afternoon with my lad, and a quick question for any Sheffield fans. Do the stewards allow plastic bottles (soft drinks) into the ground, or is there a ban on such things?

That ended up being the least of the problems

Re: PUBS SHEFFIELD : Sun Aug 08, 2010 6:32 pm  

Indeed. No search of the bag by the stewards at the turnstile (don't think they dared after the ticketing shambles).

The problem is that it's not the eagles fault. It's Uniteds policy, personally I think it's utter rubbish. Even though I have a season ticket

It's not really a 'policy' - it's just that the turnstiles are electronic. Unless they install turnstiles with coin slots I can't see a way around it.

Or credit cards.

Or take it off your mobile phone credit.

EFTPOS is the answer

Why can't someone at the Lane just send 500 tickets to away teams a couple of weeks before on a sale or return basis?

Was the hold up at the turnstiles due to the actual gates that were open or the fact that fans without tickets had to walk all the way round to Cherry Street and back again with probably 2 people in the box office.
