Queues

[BimboBob]

I go and see Newcastle play at St James'$ Park on a regular basis. No security checks what so ever. Makes me think there is intel about a possible threat to the Etihad

That would explain all of the heavily armed police that I didn't see.

Still arriving 5 mins before kick of, but found this year the queus much smaller and better managed in P

I recall queuing past sniffer dogs at St James' last season.

If you look at it he’s talking about the home fans, not away.
We are at home, can understand the searches when we are away.

Two games in and the most I have queued is two people in front. Get in early. Some of you may not be able to but most can.

Getting there early isn't the point. The point is the awful organisation. Look at JRBs post as an example. In my case 2 adjacent spirals (T&R) where one has a huge queue and the other one doesn't. Both spirals are as good as each other (almost) for accessing blocks 325,324,323,322.

A tad harsh on the female population of Newcastle.

T was chaos yesterday; it's always like that

They have a separate queue for the people who insist on bringing bags, but don't stop them from joining the other queues, hence every queue is as slow as the bag queue.

If the person doing the scan takes five seconds then no queues, if they take 20 seconds massive queues.

Always makes me laugh when someone comes on saying there are no queues at the ground.
There clearly are and they affect some fans whilst not others. Just because it doesn’t affect on ‘I’m alright Jack’ then it doesn’t mean they are not there.
I got moved last year and my new entrance has small queues and I could easily say to others there’s no problem. However I went back to my old stand yesterday, which was horrendous for queuing before and it had three short queues and one very long one for bags.
I thought, fuck this, and just went to the shorter one with my bag and got in in next to no time.
