I got in early so it was a doddle. 4 turnstiles in use and a couple of guys fitting you with the wristbands. I kept looking over to see how things progressed and noticed that the turnstile doors never closed so we can't have reached the 1500 max. There was a bit of a queue inside for the wristbands as the usual late arrivals rolled up but no real congestion or problems as I could see.

Considering how poor we've been and how bad the weather was I thought it was a reasonable crowd. Might be more wanting entry in the North Stand for the Wire game?

Believe the council were in attendance to keep an eye on it.

No barriers are up either side of the North Stand and the big screen frame has already been dug out. Quite a bit of terracing at either end of the standard was out of bounds it Work has already started for the prep.

Arrived about an hour before kick-off, no problems getting in, or queues for wristband attachment.
One positive for me, was that there was not any foul mouthed chanting this week and the noise in there when the dg went over was unbelievable.
When is the open top bus tour of the city, because the celebrations at the end were as if we'd won t'cup.

It worked ok
Got to the ground 45 mins before kick off (rather than the usual 10 mins), had to queue for a wristband but, it was all pretty straight forward.
With work already underway (the Sky TV framework has gone etc) and with parts of the Northstand now cordoned off, there had to be some restrictions.

It's just a pity that there weren't more fans in attendance (although this may have tested the new "system a little more".

No access to the "infamous" gents toilets at the back of the stand, which meant more queueing at those that were available and the "tannoy" was impossible to hear.

It will all be worth it and we just look forward to the improvements starting and being completed

It just seemed a bit daft to queue on the inside of the ground for a wrist band after coming through the turnstiles.

It wasn’t an issue in Sunday but also plenty of pushing in going on as people came through the turnstile and didn’t go to the rear of the next queue.

If there was a chance people could be missing out on getting in the North Stand I could see that leading to a bit of bother.

I'm presuming the turnstile doors will close once the capacity is reached so all those inside will be fine? Also reducing the turnstiles in operation to just two, once say a 1200 were in, would smooth the flow inside the ground.

You could gain entry to the paddock as well as the North Stand at the Doncaster road turnstiles, so the turnstiles will remain open. Once the wrist bands are all gone you'll be directed to the paddock.

Really? The info said Doncaster Road turnstiles were North Stand only and the guys put my wristband almost as soon as I walked in.
All 4 turnstiles were clearly labelled "North Stand Only"
East Stand paddock was supposedly from southern end next to bar?

People just walked into the paddock, which added to confusion queuing for a wrist band. I know the signs said North Stand only, but it was not mentioned at the turnstiles.

Do you think there was 1500, Hull fans on the West terrace, or a mixture of both home and away fans. If the west stand had 1500 hull fans, then Trinity had less than 3000, at the game, Worse situation than I thought.

Not sure to be honest, just trying to rationalise the numbers rather than the mix.

Perhaps the club may have to allow both sets of fans onto the west terrace for some home games, once the East stand and paddock is closed, and only 1500 allowed on North terrace. If we have an attendance of between 4,500, to 5,000. at a game, then we have to put around 3,500 fans between the west terrace and the 500 seats at the south end. I’m sure the club have taken all things into consideration.i hope

Take heed, 1315!!!!!
