durhamunigeordie Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Aye mine are 83-84 as well. The que for 83 was massive with 15 mins to go but there was a 30 second que for 84. Had the problem with the club having sold season ticket holder seats on general sale. Hopefully that will cease to be a problem now as it seems the club have a policy that those few blocks will be for season ticket holders and on the day cash payers only?

Troll Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I used the cash turnstile in the Gallowgate. When I was near the front, one of the stewards walked along, counting us, than told the people at the back that there weren't enough tickets for them. Got in 15 minutes late and missed the goal. That'll teach me to leave it till the last minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J7 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 On Saturday I decided to go late because I didn't have a ticket. Just went straight up to cash turnstyle in the Gallowgate and there was nobody there. Because of that I decided to pay cash last night but the line was 30 mins long. Good job I went up early as I just made it in for kick off. There weren't THAT many more home fans last night, so no idea what made it so different.

Scoreboard82 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 And some people on here made out anyone who bought a season ticket for this season was mad. A season ticket means you avoid all the p***ing about at the box office and with fiddly paper tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Same here madras. I know we go into the same turnstile but it was an absolute farce last night. What time did you go, me cp40 his bairn and lass were there 35 mins early. After our parade aorund town looking for a parking slot. I was there about half 7 mate. But I just found it ridiculous that only one turnstile was in operation at that moment in time. Absolute amateurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 My turnstiles are 79-82 or 75-78. I always used 79-82 as you can access the, direct from barrack road and don't have to go under the congested stand. Except, just like on saturday turnstile 80 was closed and 81 and 82 seemed to be accepting cash and tickets but had no signs up to say so and people were asking us in the massive queue whether it was a cash turnstile or not. This was at 7.25ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, i hate evening kick offs, even 8 pm ones. In theory i could just get changed at work and stay in town, but that means not seeing the wife and kids until the following morning. Also have to take the car to night games due to the shit public transport after 6PM which i hate doing as you can never get parked and then get stuck in traffic afterwards.

It didn't used to be too bad, but the council have changed practically every Single Yellow Line in town to Double Yellow in the past 6 months which makes it nigh on impossible to find anywhere to park except in marked bays.
