Maybe yes.

To be fair we commented on the same as we where waiting to get in on Thursday.

They actually did a cash turnstyle for us which was good but im not sure it saved any more time that getting a ticket as you would at the LSV or even at Widnes.

There where only two turnstyles open and for the reasons Matt has explained above the two 'older' operators seemed to be conscious of holding onto the notes.

Il pre-empt any response by saying that possibly that was just due to our visit.

This is what does my head in, we either can or can't have cash turnstiles stop pussy footing around and make your frigging mind up!

i give up frank, its not my problem or a problem for me, despite living in warrington i manage just as you do coming from salford. If my suggestions are so ridiculous theres no point in me showing i care about others, and suggesting to people how to get round things at the present time. It isn't law you know to have to buy drink and finish it at 2.58 before strolling through a turnstyle.

welcome to the club Derek

why not just send tickets to the away teams club??

obvs big teams should get more than the teams who bring no fans! this will shut the likes of widnes and fax fans who moan. then were all happy!

But I don't think your comments are ridiculous. All I am trying to point out is we should make it as easy as possible for fans who do not want to come because of our current arrrangements to not have the inconveniece of waiting for a ticket at the LSV. Sell tickets in Leigh town centre send away club tickets' open 2 cash turnstyles.

We have 2 or 3 clubs in our league who potentially bring numbers lets encourage and re home supporters well the LSV has to show confidence in people who are willing to sell tickets in Leigh town centre.

Still think getting there earlier isn't end of world. Sending tickets to away clubs that are likely to bring a few fans is also a no brainer.

This 'get there earlier or tough' is nonsense.

Maybe folk dont want to get in the bloody ground at 2.30! Maybe they want a pint at Easts and stroll over at 2.50. It does not make them bad people especially when the ground is no more than 20% full.

Could you ever imagine Asda saying 'If you want bread this week you have to get here earlier. 2.30 every Sunday. Take it or leave it.'

With regular shoppers tutting that "it's only busy when offers are on".

absolutley right,they've got all week to get a ticket.

We want more customers, so make it as easy as we possibly can for them to get in.

It really is that simple.

Telling them to get there earlier (as if they are naughty boys) is not the answer.

Went to W1gan the other week to watch Kick Ass (excellent film by the way ). We arrived 15 mins or so b4 film started went to pay for tickets at the payment counter, then went to this bored out of his brains guy that ripped half the ticket off then went down the corridor to the door of movie to queue up to get in. After about 5-10mins or so we entered and sat down, having to watch 20 mins of cr@ppy commercials. What a palarva (sp?)!!
Its not end of the world. Having cash turnstiles for 10 mins prior to KO to let in the latecomers from the pubs isn't a priority in my book, unless we was getting a unexpected bumper crowd and/or there are major road works etc - but even then you would delay KO if possible.
If we have cash turnstiles the crowds will not go up because of it. OK send tickets to away clubs, but that should be done anyway.

i'm not saying to anybody get there earlier.
what i'm saying to home supporters is get your ticket early[they've got 7 days]and then you can turn up when you want.
away support is differant especially for evening games.
