Turnstiles Broke! Massives Queues Outside The Ground

[worsleyweb]

Anyone know if this is sorted tomorrow or do I need to factor in queuing for 30 minutes to get into the ground?

Will be a low crowd tomo. Sunday funny time on tv and a lot of people away for half term.

Ha I know what you mean and to this end I'll be arriving that bit earlier, such is my pessimism.

I'm convinced it's just a ruse to create an atmosphere prior to ko and get more in beforehand rather than everyone being on the last minute

I had an email from the club similar to the one last week and advising me to get there 45 minutes before the game.

"arrive no later than 45 mins prior to kick off"? :-) Yes I've just received that text as well. Stressing which turnstiles I'm allowed to go through.

"Arrive no later than 45 mins before kick off"

Translation: Please buy a least 1 pint of overpriced piss and a dry hot dog from one of our not arsed catering staff before kick off.

Not sure 45 minutes will be enough time to get served !

Should times that figure by 10 to maybe get it before the pitch handshakes.

Nicely relaxed having a pint watching on a screen as wide as a double decker bus. Armchair and proud just cannot do it anymore with young children and Halloween, bonfire night, birthdays, Xmas, bills ringing in my ears. To all those who live with mummy & Daddy, have a healthy disposable income, retired and well off, I salute you, sing your heart out for the lads.

Couldn't get to the game today, what were the que's like, especially at n1 for ss3, were we all still getting searched/scanned ?

And we'll reduce the number of chuck wagons on the outer concourse to reduce your options.

I'm East L1 and enter through gates K. I missed the game last week so didn't see witness the queues were like or the new security measures
Today I arrived at 1.15pm (15 mins before K/O) and there were five people in the queue. Even the queue for the spiral entrance wasn't that large
I approached the security guy with the scanner and he whizzed it from knee to shoulder on my left side in about two seconds and said "fine"

By mistake, at the airport I've gone through a scanner with my wallet in my pocket and set the alarm off and today I thought that would happen with the hand held scanner It didn't and he didn't scan where my wallet was.
I actually don't believe those scanners are real

Didn't pick up my car keys or mobile phone, perhaps they just detect Semtex?

Non existent as far as I could see, one of the few positives.

I was inside early yesterday and watched the queues through the concourse windows over M1/M2.

Around 12.45 there was a good 100 queueing up at each entrance then I assume the call to suspend checks was made as within 5 mins everyone was inside.

So although everyone got inside ok today the searches are a complete waste of time.
