Tension at the Turnstiles 8 July : Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:15 pm  

Last night against Huddersfield the season ticket ripping the ticket out of book fiasco struck again!

Going into the South Stand a guy and his kid got stopped because they had a ticket but didnt bring their season ticket booklet!

I thought the club had relaxed this rule???

But it seems to have come back! Anyway a near riot erupted after the stewards rushed in and tried to evict the lad and his Dad and a massive queue of people started shouting to get in the ground! But some clam thinking by my mate Army Man clamed the situation down and people without ticket books were allowed in....

Maybe it was because the South Stand was full already and the stewards didnt want extra people coming in (like Game 1 at the HJ!)?

Are the club gonna address this before we cause a proper full out riot?

How dare they disobey the terms and conditions outlined in the season ticket and still expect to get in.

Everyone knows that the book is required to get in, what was the idiot playing at not bringing his book?

I usually go in the south stand throught the turnstiles by dallam lane but last night went in through the winwick rd ones outside the security lad said rip your voucher out to save time I did this and put my book back in my pocket when I went it the turnstile I gave my ticket in and the guy there said wheres your book I got it out and showed it him I then told him what the security guy said outside and he said he should not be saying that and more or less said I was lying I told him to go and have a word with the security guy then he then shut up.

You won't be able to incite a riot, you're hardly 'voice of the people' are you Raymond, all that would happen is you and your clam thinking mate would cause a bit of a scene and be dealt with by the stewards, and everybody else would just walk by pointing and laughing.

He's bound to cause a riot

Its easy bring your season book with you, rip the correct voucher out of the book in front of the turnstile operator, enter the stadium and enjoy the game.

You will get the usual response to this thread something like!!

I dont want to carry my season ticket around with me cos i have 3 pints of bitter in the Railway club and dont know my ass from my elbow!!

Or why should i take the whole book to the ground when i only need to take 1 ticket!!

Or there is 4 people in my family so i have to take all the tickets around in my handbag,last time i done this i put my back out and had a fortnight off work lifting the damm thing!!
