My prediction earlier was 2047...what's the difference? (and before you say 653...)

I got to the ground at 7:25 did a lap of the ground. Not a programme seller to be seen. Went in to Addisons to ask & was told there was loads of sellers around the ground. Turns out they'd sold out. I bought mine early but the seller told me they only printed 400 |

Ridiculous. I didn't get one against Dunkirk and would have liked one. May have been unlucky with the timing but it sounds like the club is just throwing money away...should be almost waving programmes in people's faces, not leaving people to hunt and hope.

I usually spend about £25 pound in the bars before and after games but with lack of choice and the pathetic plastic glasses, ( we never needed these before) I am now going to drink elswhere and f## ck the club, they are just lazy

In the clubs defence did anyone else expect a 2700 gate tonight? It's another learning. I don't think it was beyond the realms of possibility. We often had long queues to get in when we had 1500 turning up for conference games. It should be clear that two windows to provide tickets for 2000 people isn't going to work. |

There were 4 windows open when I got there. Using both the ticket off by official entrance and the old office window (by former toilet block)
I think lots of the complaints re queuing for tickets, lack programmes and real ale running out etc are down to a much larger crowd than 95% of people were expecting. That's not to say there can not be learnings, there can and should be.

Trying to do it on a shoe-string at the moment. Things should improve, off the pitch, as they and we get more used to it. I was pleased that they delayed kick-off so that everyone(?) got in for the start. Not sure how many left before the end though!

To be fair for all the moaning how many people predicted a gate of more than 2000? There were atleast 500 in the ques than even the most optimistic of us expected, and upwards of 1,000 more than a lot expected.
That said it was frustrating.
I have utmost respect for volunteers but to be honest it took the best part of a minute to purchase one meadow end ticket with all the walking backwards and forwards that was being done to complete the transaction. At this point there were about 100 people behind me so it came as no surprise when the kick off was delayed
delayed.

Wills right I was expecting 2000 ish certainly not pushing 3000. Just a thought whether the club could do a deal with the old toilet block on the corner and convert it into a bigger ticket office with six seven windows?

I was in the queue last night and a club official was good enough to come out and tell us the k.o. had been delayed so it calmed most down a bit.Thought he could have been better employed selling tickets to the queue though,one pocket full of tickets,the other two pound coins,simples!

Great. If you're planning for 3,000 smart-arses that's perfect. Back in the real world...

A couple of things: It may be new to us and weird (I dont like the thought of it myself) but there a plenty much bigger clubs than us, much higher up than us who operate in this way.
As a new system, it's going to take a bit of getting used to for both the fans, and importantly the club.
Just don't get me riled up asking for volunteers to sort everything out on behalf of the super-shareholders!

With the turnstiles, presumably, manned to let people in and collect the ticket stubs what's the point in providing a second facility that needs a second set of volunteers/staff. |

Evening Adi.

Evening Chris.
With all due respect, what has any of this got to do with you?
You have publicly said that you want nothing to do with the club that plays in black and white at Edgar Street. What's your point? What are you trying to prove?
Keyte's gone. Tommy's gone. Your mate from Feltham's gone. Why are you still hanging around?
