I was in a big queue outside the SW corner turnstiles about 2.50. It eventually started to go down and when I got to the turnstile the steward just said…Get in. The turnstile was spinning like a good un’. Shambles.
When I went in nobody showed anythingDid the free drinks lot show their card or phone?

ffs!I used my digital ticket to get in and my season card for my free drink.
You can’t even make it up….
Girl at till, “sorry we don’t take phones for drinks”
Supervisor, “we are not set up to take digital tickets for drinks yet”
Good job they sent me a new season card last Friday, perhaps they foresaw this shambles coming; and I thought that they had only sent me a new card because they thought I was too old for new technology!

They had a friendly to iron out issues the other week, but no, they roll out something that would have teething issues on a standard match dayIt was absolute shambles, never been to a football match or event in my lifetime more badly organised tbh....Why are they changing a system that works fine....???
What do you think was going wrong at that block in particular - it was so much worse than the rest of the stadium from what I could see. The queue just suddenly built up didn't almost back to where I sell fanzines.
Was it lots of people trying to insert season cards or lots of digital people getting confused? Or were the turnstiles there not working properly etc?
You didn’t need to touch your card either, the turnstile was put on freewheel and the steward just told you to enter, to be fair ,for once somebody used their head and allowed people to use the turnstiles in the West Stand.Probably all sorts. At the NW the stewards started sending the corner ticket holders to the WS Upper turnstiles as they were quieter. Seemed to get bodies moving. Nobody told those stewards at the SW to do the same
