if you decide to go to the game on game day, go to the ticket office earlier before the game and maybe spend less time sinking pints in parkers, (or whatever its called now!) right up until kick off!



this isnt aimed at anybody particular btw!

You'd better explain that, I think

Or decide to go on match day after all, walk up to the turnstile, pay and go in and sink pints in the KC, putting money in the SMC coffers. Why the SMC can't see that as a good thing I have no idea.

(And yes I know the beer is crap, but the point remains )

I understand the thinking of this .
However it will be chaos for people like me who pay on the day of a game as my job does not let me have the luxury of buying a ticket for every game.
Its ok people saying be there early etc but what happens if you go straight from work.
Surley the best method would be to just have a certain amount of turnstiles that are open to cash payment.
The SMC have to realise that this is RUGBY not football. Its very easy to sell out a stadium pre game for a Man City/Man utd game. However it is never going to happen for Hull FC V Wakefield etc

Certainly won't help get the extra fans in, people are 50/50 about going, maybe won't bother now with the extra hassle.

I'd bet Pearson is not very happy about it and I would be interested to see what he says about it.

Can't really see the issue myself. Leeds have done it for years.

If every game is going to be all ticket then we should have a facility to buy tickets online. (Assuming there isn't already but I don't think so)

Me neither.

A lot of the turnstiles are ticket-barcode arrangements but not all. A few still take cash.

How much would it cost the club to pay 8 people to run 2 cash turnstiles in each stand?

Must be worth doing it ourselves surely?

So they haven't done this for years then.

It will cost less than the amount the club will lose from lost revenue. IMO of course.

Smacks to me of a braindead accountant making business decisions from a spreadsheet again, whilst locked in a grey cupboard away from any semblance of reality.
"excel says reduce headcount"

Went to get a ticket this morning from the bransholme club shop but was told they had sold out yesterday at both bransholme and saville street and the best place to get a ticket would be the try pod or the kc

Fans will have to adapt.

Those without passes who go to games will have to organise themselves better and arrange tickets in advance. Those that through various circumstances decide on the day, will have to walk all that way round to the ticket office.

Welcome to the modern world you lot. If I wanted to catch a train this afternoon, I'll have to get myself a ticket to get through the turnstyles before I get to the platform. Picking your ticket up is an accepted part of it, just like it'll become an accepted part of going to watch Hull.
