Queues

If anything makes me pack it in it will not be the scanners, the referees, VAR, the players. It will be that God’s awful public transport system Metrolink.

I agree mate..I usually use the tram to and from Ashton on matchdays and it's usually crap..but today I had to get the bus from Haughton Green to the ground via Ashton..going was ok but getting back was a fucking nightmare.
Left the ground at full time waited at bus stop and the first 216 to Ashton arrived at ten past six..arrived home at quarter past seven.
The transport to and from the ground is a joke..last time I catch the bus there.
The match going fans are treated appallingly by the knobs who run the buses and trams.
There were a fair few elderly people waiting for the bus who eventually caught taxis.
I can see plenty of fans binning off night games unless the situation improves.

I got to M1 (entrance for SS3) just before 2.35 and got in my seat just after KO. The queue as I was at the turnstile was at least as long as when I arrived and people were still coming in 25 minutes after KO.

The problem seemed to be with the scanners as when I held my phone close to it nothing happened. I had to get to the QR code and then put my phone in the slot. Everyone appeared to be struggling to scan their phones and many didn't appear to know what to do if it didn't work.

Seemingly there will be new turnstiles installed in SS but it appears to be a state secret and also new scanners are being installed at every turnstile allegedly. My question is when? I stand by my comment about Danny Wilson as he is head honcho for operations and it is a disgrace.

Unfortunately, Danny Wilson seems to have become 'just another bullshitter' who doesn't actually know what's going on any more. The club should be doing more for fans who aren't fortunate enough to be able to afford hospitality etc.

funny that
cos i walked passed a 216 about 5.15 to 5.30 at asda,they're not allowed to stop outside the ground officially,but you'll know that no doubt
i use the tram both ways from ashton these days,i let it calm down by staying to the end and walking up to cemetry gates ,past the grove pub
 
One of those "youtubers" should forsake the start of the game and actually film what is going on outside the ground 15 - 20 mins after the game has started and interview fans affected by it..... then stick it on YouTube and inform the club / MEN / Radio Manchester of the issues "customers" are facing in buying a "product"

I was talking to a few blues who usually catch the bus there.
Last time I caught the bus from the ground was the Wycombe game and I caught it at the same place as where I waited today..funny that
 
Witnessed major issues with queues at the North Stand ticket office today, 80 minutes before kick off only 4 out of the 10 available windows were open.

Supporters, some in wheelchairs, left to wait unnecessarily for over an hour to have issues resolved with their mobile season cards.

Is it too much to ask, that supporter Services ensure that all 10 windows in the North Stand ticket office are staffed and open prior to the game on a match day?

A complete shambles!

I can't like your post as it is an utter disgrace.

Again I stand by my post at HT today. Danny Wilson and the club heirachy should be ashamed of the shambolic state of the operations side of the club.
