Simon Toone. Is he not the fella in charge or have I dreamed that?

Thanks lads

that just leaves the current LSV ownership question and which employee of the LSV hadn't fixed that turnstyle.

You forgot the post meeting analysis meeting.

A fixed fee.

Fine if you want it ask for it back, I’d take a guess that the majority don’t.

LSV should be saying “How can we improve the efficiency of getting people into the Stadium?”

A very simple breakdown of the LSV way, each activity given 2 seconds.

1. Hand ticket to lady
2. Lady turns ticket round so stubs are on right side to tear off
3. Lady checks ticket
4. Lady tears off stubs
5. Lady puts stubs on one side
6. Lady hands ticket back to supporter
7. Lady presses button to open turnstile
8. Supporter fumbles about/what should I do with ticket
9. Supporter goes through turnstile

9 activities x 2 seconds = 18 seconds to get in the ground, not to bad that is it?
So that’s 18 sec x 800 supporters = 14,400 seconds/ 240 minutes/4 hrs

It takes LSV 4 hrs to get every 800 people into the Stadium.

Now if they did it my way (sure there's a song in that)…….

1. Hand ticket to lady
2. Lady checks ticket
3. Lady puts ticket on one side
4. Lady presses button to open turnstile
5. Supporter goes through turnstile

5 activities x 2 sec = 10 seconds x 800 = 8,000 seconds/133.33 minutes/2.22hrs

Glows way 2 hrs 13 minutes to get 800 people into the stadium.

Having an all ticket stadium is more efficient than having cash, giving change etc but in effect by giving you the stub back it’s just like giving you change.

The problem with that is if for any reason you have to evacuate the part of the stadium you are in and then need to re-enter the stadium you have no proof that you have already been inside.

As soon as I get inside I throw it in the bin, so I've not got any proof anyway, plus if there was an evacuation at LSV it would be about three years before H&S would let us back in.

I'll have my season ticket for the next match anyway so none of this stub stuff anyway just the lady going beep, beep.

plus this thread should be about the footie team.

And the LSV.

It will be full next year when Sale Sharks move from Stockport! More than a rumour.

Is that why the football will be moved out??

I've heard Sale have made enquiries, but they own their own ground don't they?

Heard they may play T.V Games at the LSV, but again its all rumours...

From the 'fees' paid and influence on the LSV, you might well swap the top two there.

I always keep my ticket stubs for no reason other than I always have done, but they come in handy for any abandoned game etc.

As for Sale, they do own Edgeley Park but there isn't much scope for ground improvements and the pitch is a mess. Would probably make a fair bit of coin if they sold the place, and would certainly go straight to the top of the LSV wish list, I'd imagine.
