Turnstiles Broke! Massives Queues Outside The Ground
- Thread starter jrb
- Start date
The match day experience is a shambles nowadays for us poor normal folk! From trying to get in the fucking place, to trying to go for piss....your fucked if you need a shit with the whole 2 cubicles with queues 9 deep of lads 18-35 waiting to shuffle in for a line of beak, that's if you can see where your going in the first place due to the smoke. Then people leaving past me on 35minute mark because if you leave it any longer you have no chance of getting a pint and a twix before the 55minute mark...... And don't get me started and trying to get out of the car park!

Is the reason that the service for pies and crisps is so shit that they're concerned about our carb intake?Is it beyond all comprehension that the club don't want people pissed out of their skulls at the match?
It's such an easy fix but there's a reason they don't do it

Sorry if I missed it but did the club make a statement about turnstile problem?
Only in the MUEN as far as I could see, they said they had opened up another turnstile, which wasn't much help to the supporters waiting at the rest of the turnstiles away from that one!!!

Exactly.
And I don't want to get 'pissed out of my skull' @Petrovs left peg , but one pint might be nice, together with a few minutes to drink it without missing the restart of the match.
You can also add trying to get a fucking tram. Stood at Ashton for 25 minutes with fuck all coming and no announcements with the display system saying next tram 2 minutes!! Then you get there to be greeted by the shambles of trying to get in the stadium.The match day experience is a shambles nowadays for us poor normal folk!

Would be tempted to start driving to the games in future if only I could find somewhere to park!

Fucking hell they might have to start leaving anti depressants under the seats.

. Whatever the pros and cons of the work being done in the West Stand the breeze block wall looks horrible and must surely be temporary - without wanting to sound too pretentious, the concourse on Level One used to be a pleasing curve and you could see the crowd starting to build up ready for kick-off far into the distance

Heard it all now. Fans having a pint at half time are ruining the spectacle for other fans. Believe it or not your average fan will have quick pint at half time, always has been always will be. We alternate between mates who gets the beers in, so all of us bar the one getting the drinks in will see the whole of the first half.If you're stupid enough to put up with that, the awful beer and the inflated prices then you deserve everything you get in my opinion. And it's people like you who ruin the match-day experience for people like me, who sits on the end of a row by an exit and has to get up every 30 seconds and put up with people pushing in to where we sit as the stewards (rightly) won't let them block the aisles.. If having a drink is more important than watching 10-15 minutes of football then I'd suggest the pub might be a better venue for you.
My point was the service is shocking these days whether that's getting a pie of having a beer. It's never been an issue in the past.
If you say I belong in the pub I think by the same token you belong in a theatre
