Collected my ticket around 1430hrs and later went to the South Stand entrance.
Long queue at Turnstile 1.
Turnstile 2 STILL out of action.
Ticket would not work on Turnstile 3 (steward said "try Turnstile 4").
After going to back of queue eventually tried Turnstile 4 and guess what? It did not work

Complained to steward who said "We have been told to make sure the iffy tickets are tried at all of the turnstiles". My reply was not printable really, as I was getting rather frustrated at that point. The steward then let me in via the side door.

Generally if I am paying to go somewhere to be entertained and I get messed about, or the experience is not good, then I never go back there again. The team who are running the show down there need to get their act together as this is not the first time this has happened to me and I hear it is happening to others.

Come on CFC. Fix the problem with the ticket readers and fix that bxxxxdy faulty gate.

My ticket didn't work today. Ended up being let in a gate instead. Not sure why the South Stand is missing an entry point.

I blame Chris Turner :lol:

We said the other week how scruffy the ground looks, all it needs is a pressure washer and a cherry picker before it gets any worse.

Was Six years old in July. Basically, no maintenance as been carried out at all. I really hate to think what it will look like in another 5-10 years. Very disappointing really.

This really surprises me so I guess the recent quotes suggesting huge money problems is the correct reason.

If your talking factually about maintainable how do you know this.

I've seen people that have tickets that do not work at every game this season in the South stand.
Very frustrating for those fans, especially if they had to queue up too.

Clubs going to pot fast.

I was told by a prominent member of the board, after the Wallsall win that we'd just had in the balance of the money owed by Hull (presumably, that including a promotion bonus?) and that we had circa £900k in the bank.

Of course it's wrong to ask for people's salary details etc, and apart from what I've seen on here which I've no idea if true or not. I would imagine if we were to find out what our CEO has received in contracted wages, bonuses that he may be eligible for, and any other renumeration he's entitled to since he's been at the club I would hazard a guess for a club of our size that amount could be quite eye watering?

Speaking generally, anyone paid a fat salary for a job they aren't very good at shouldn't also be creaming off bonuses.
