| have to say that i dont see there being as many people wanting to get out/back in, of the main stand area as there is wanting to get in and out of the stand itsself
think the new system doesnt utilise staff aswell and is open to abuse, but we will see how it gets fine tuned

| it did seem a bit of a farce tbh. i went out for 2 cups of tea and had them plus my handbag in my hands so was very relieved that id dint have to show my ticket again on the way back in (not quite sure how i would have managed otherwise i aint good at juggling )
hopefully it wont be like that all season!

| I spoke to someone at the club and they toldm the Stewards were over officious. What Gill has posted is correct and it will work a lot better in the liong term. For the next game the Stewards will not be checking tickets at the top of the ailes at half time, so there shouldn't bea problem. What will happen will be no different to what happens at Sheadingley where you get your ticket torn at the gate and then checked when you go into the main stand. After kick off you are free to go get a cup of tea or a burger and just comer back. That's what will happen at Odsal.

| I still fail to appreciate what the club are seeking to achieve by these changes.

| Daftest thing about the ticket checking farce was for every ticket the clueless stewards checked 12 or more walked passed them unchecked.
Rubbish Method old system worked fine!

That`s what puzzles me. The old system didn`t have a problem; you handed in one half ticket to enter the stadium and the second to enter the stand with minimal waiting time but now it`s bring out your book everytime you go to the toilet/for a drink/shop or food. Why??? Did anyone actually say there was a problem with the previous system? If so does anyone find the new one better? If so why?

You should not have to get your ticket or book out everytime you go to the loo or shop or concessions Bulliac, you should just have to show it the once when you enter the stand, unfortunately the Stewards got over enthusiastic and we had chaos. That is where things went wrong on that day.
I'm still optomistic that things will be a lot better for the next home game, as I've said on paper the new system looks better and you get into the ground quicker, but if things don't improve they will just go back to using the old system.

This does not work. What is to stop someone going to the stand 10mins after kick off (and if they dont have to show their tickets on entry and exit) from saying that they had just been to the bar/loo or anywhere else and gaining entry for free.
The only way for the system to work is checking on every entry and every exit which will cause unacceptable delays. I have had a season ticket in the stand for the last 13 years and speed of entry in the old system has never been an issue. As I said earlier in the thread if its not broke dont fix it.

How will we get into the ground quicker? I takes the same time to tear off a ticket on the way into the stand as it does at the top of the stairs. Has getting into the ground ever been an issue?
Without proper checking of who is in the stand area I can only see problems.

| Have to agree that the new system seemed bizarre and I can't see what was wrong with the old one. I was surprised to get to the back of the stand without having my ticket checked and then dismayed to have it demanded from me at the top of the stairs whilst trying to control my lad who was chomping at the bit to get into the stand to meet his mate and Bull Boy. The result was a temporarily lost child, a dropped programme (I too was juggling all kinds of objects by that stage) and a first game feeling of 'I hope it's not like this every game.' Let's hope there's some pride swallowed and an admission that the old way was best. I've never been a big fan of radical changes....
