Queues

ive said this before and got stick, but I don’t think the official supporters club do a good job of standing up for our fans. They are often silent or release a generic statement on the major issues for our fans.

Unless I’ve missed it they’ve said nothing on this issue.

other supporter clubs or groups, such as the spirit of shankly do a great job of sticking up for fans. We currently have nothing
I'll make a wild guess that the higher levels of the OSC aren't in the M1 & M2 mess and may even not have to use any entrances that we all do....the original goal/reason for their existence can be lost when getting perks.

As far as I can see, the only time I’m aware of Kevin Parker of the OSC lately is when he needlessly played into the hands of our media enemies with the Pep/Leipzig stuff, and when he persuaded hundreds of fans to give £140 a time to a Covid test firm that wasn’t fit for purpose. Oh, and when he personally sorted some East European friends with Porto tickets despite them not having the requisite points.
Not a peep from him or the OSC about this season’s ticketing fiascos, the transport situation or anything useful
 
I never made it today due to coming from Leeds and the M62 closed at Huddersfield at 1pm (bet this fucked up a lot of Yorkshire blues)
As I was waiting in the traffic I was working out at which time to bin it off and get off at the next junction. When I still hadn’t moved at 1.30 I worked out that even if the traffic started I would not be getting parked up at the ground until 2.30 at best and most of the streets would be full by then. By the time I would have walked to the ground I would have been in the SS3 queue and would have missed a big chunk of the game.
In nearly 20 years coming from Yorkshire, is the 1st game I have missed due to traffic.
This season I have been leaving home 30 mins earlier than ever before to ensure I am getting into the ground by 2 which has worked well. It seems that anything after 2.30 is asking for trouble.
In the end the Motorway was shut until after 2 and I managed to get off and was back home for 2.30 and luckily missed the shit show. After unsuccessfully trying to find a stream and then fucking it off, I watched the cricket whilst listening to the radio City commentary.
All in all with other results, a pretty wank day.
Yes I got stuck in that bastard. First time I've driven this season as well. Normally get the rattler. Persevered and was in me seat by 3:14. Many thanks to the kind lady who drives the mini bus up Mercer Way who took pity and gave me a lift!

I can assure you that they do, Alan Galley ( Chairman of the OSC ) who is a mate of mine could not get into the ground yesterday when he got to the turnstile like a lot of others, myself included, entrance C was fucking rubbish yesterday.
 
Can people who keep moaning about the OSC please let us know which Branches they are in? I just want to get a sense of whether you have the level of commitment to improve the effectiveness of the OSC.

City Matters is the forum for engagement with the Club on operational matters and I know the fans reps have worked very hard on our behalf. Things are still pretty shite though. I hope the extra 10 Supporters Services Staff City have been and the 6 new turnstiles at the South Stand from the PSG game begin a step change improvement in customer services.

The Customer services staff are being let down by their managers at the moment and the ticket sales system that was bought. It’s a good job the supervisors at the games are helpful.

Entrance J (normally decent) was shite yesterday. Yes, I see Alan coming out of the ground sometimes and it’s not in the Executive Boxes lol
 
Yesterday was just an all round shit day mate.
I totally agree mate.‘I was stuck behind that piled up on the M60 for an hour and didn’t have enough cans cos I had been to the sorting office to pick up our membership cards. Then there problems with mine and my brother’s tickets at the gate. Then the game started lol.

I reckon most of the people left in the ground to clap players off were Supporters Club members who have to wait for everyone before our coaches can leave anyway

I was really lucky unlike you: I was getting on the motorway at Huddersfield and saw that that accident had just happened. Nipped over the Pennines through saddleworth and joined an empty motorway the next junction down. I made it in plenty of time.
