Very miss-leading to say the least, there is a ticket booth next to the turnstiles, you q there, buy a ticket then go through the turnstile into the ground. The club done this as the old system of pay turnstiles had too many flaws apparantly. its no problem you will get into the ground just as quick as before. You cant get into the ground without a ticket but you buy them at the ground,

Please explain it's worked fine for 100 years ! remember Sheffield at Bramhall Lane other year,queued 40 mins for tickets from their clubshop at a championship football ground which holds 30,000 plus the kick off was delayed and the attendance was 1022...ffs who dreams up this crap.

more chance of money going missing when paying to a booth rather than a turnstyle with a counter.

Mr T Hall,

I explained this to a few fans from other club, not sure if I explained it to Halifax John or not, but more than happy to explain to you. Either via PM or in person if you fancy a beer before the game.

Safe journey to all the Fax fans coming over for the game.

There's no need to explain thanks clubs will do what they think is best for them.
It just adds to the downside of going away.I enjoy my trips to the LSV but in going there
you know to be early get a ticket and have a pint in Wren,but don't want this to be a feature of every away day.At Wakey other week i missed kick off there were 4 gates
open but only 1 for cash paying adults other 3 were empty and there was about 80 in my queue,this clueless fascination for ticketing games which attract 20% capacity attendances is beyond me.

You wont have to park there, no segregation park and go where you like

@gingdong - Is the parking "round the back" still available? Tbh, it's a pretty good place to park up, even if we need to enter the ground from the other side.

Yes but you cant get there through the car park, go past it down post office road and turn left

Noted and FWIW I agree with your sentiments.

Re: Featherstone all ticket : Fri Jun 05, 2015 6:44 pm  

What's the problem?
You get there a little early and queue up for your ticket, you then go to the turnstile and produce your ticket and then you get in.
Scenario, a full paying adult turns up at the turnstile, gives over his £17 gets in, the turnstile operator puts £6 in his pocket and £11 in the till.
Many turnstiles do not differentiation between us old biddies and full payers.
