Hi there,

Just wondering if the turnstiles are operated by man or if it is an automatic scanning system?

My friend has bought a concession instead of an adult. Wondering if it will matter for him to save himself 4 pound and just scan himself in.

They have a lighting system that shows what type of ticket you have, I think orange shows concession and green is normal ticket

Automatic but in theory they have stewards behind them and a concessions ticket sets a light off and they should check who is using it. Whether they do or do it properly is another matter.

if he leaves it till 2 mins before kick off should be ok the turnstiles have a traffic light system with a stewarded behind keeping an eye on who goes through but they normally  go into the ground just before kick off

your friend won't have a problem, i know ppl who get in using concessions all the time and are never questioned, don't worry

[ritchiehumpsleftfoot]

Maybe not worth the risk then?

You're joking right? Never seen a steward anywhere near behind any turnstile I've ever been in.

Of course falsifying records, including electronic ones, is false accounting. This is covered under s17 Theft Act 1968 and carries a maximum sentence of ten years. If you let me know where your (sorry your friend's) ticket is for I can check whether there will be stewards specifically looking at those turnstiles.

Easy to sort out if he goes to the ticket office with plenty of time before the match

To be fair, some of those entering the ground as a concession would probably qualify. Just look at some that post on here. Adult by age but extremely juvenile.

10yrs, it could be well worth buying one then you wouldn't have to suffer watching the rubbish we are having to put up with under DS.lol.

Must admit as a 12 year old I did try a heist on a sweet shop, almost got away with 20/30 odd assorted black jacks and fruit salads, so I'm no angel

It is on the scale of someone doing small scale shop lifting, do you condone that?

Or put it another way, stories like this go all the way back to Saltergate and CFSS, where you'd be cheating the club not some millionaire, would you be so sanguine about that?

There is someone checking this at the east stand entrance but, as you say, whether they do it properly .....

Not to worry, sorted it with the club and got the ticket switched to adult.

Ive normally gone in the south entrance of the west stand and in general there is someone checking there as well.
