Problems like this often occur because training and guidance have not been given to the people carrying out the task or tasks. If the person responsible for turnstile operatives or stewards have not given the correct instructions to the employees, then errors like this will occur. This incident needs to be reported and a plan of action drawn up to eliminate any problems of this nature occurring in the future.

I understand Peawapps (and the others) aggravation and he’s right it was poor communication, but to state we are out of our depth etc is taking it out of proportion, I posted on here that we had a similar thing with Leigh East Girls at Huddersfield a couple of years back, when we were guests of the RFL and couldn’t get in because the Stewards knew nothing about it. Last season our tickets wouldn’t work at the automatic turnstiles watching Rovers at Old Trafford, we had to go back to the ticket office for replacements only for them not to work either, this season at Bloomfield Road we had to go to four different pick up points before we actually got our tickets.

It happens pass on your concerns to LSV and hopefully they’ll learn from it, but I wouldn’t be shocked if I hear of something similar anytime soon.

As I said, earlier in the post, the club/LSV will have to learn from this problem. I guess, as an organistaion, they aren't too used to SL clubs crying off fixtures at short notice.

But when you've actually paid for your tickets you've never had a problem

People pay for tickets?



It'll never catch on.

Not for Rovers, you're right.

Mo if you have one cash turnstyle they would all have to be cash turnstyles as no one of our stubborn fans would buy a ticket and it will be back to fans turning up at 2.59.

There was an argument going on at the turnstile going into the North Stand. Two fans were refused entry with Salford tickets. The Steward said the Club had originally said Salford tickets could be used but a fresh instruction came just before 2-30pm saying they couldnt. The Steward advised them to go back to the ticket office for an explanation. Communication is not good. On another thread there is plenty of is it on, is it off in relation to the Salford game. Why dont the Club tell us, one way or the other - perhaps its a secret

The Official site says we we will not be playing Salford in a pre season friendly and our next game is at home to Swinton on Friday January 25.

Well, that's twice Salford have wanted to play us, and then changed their minds. At least we know Swinton will turn up. Hope this heasn't made a mess of Paul's pre-season plans.
