My season tickets in a bit of a mess, have voucher numbers 11 and 13 hanging loose inside the book and the next one to tear out is 15! What matches were 11 / 13? (postponements?) and are we on 15 tonight? Thanks.
[cite]Posted By: Nicholas[/cite]11 Is Soton and 13 is Carlisle
nice one, so 15 tonight then.
Yes 15 I was panicking when I looked at the state of my book at the Plymouth game I was adamant the bloke ripped the wrong number out, until I asked the bloke in front of me
There are reasons we stick to the original sequence, but it hasn't helped that they haven't always been displayed correctly outside the ground.
yeah im sure at the north west quad gate there used to be a display with the match number shown and that hasn't been about for the last couple of seasons
[cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]Ah Nicholas, you're one of those who doesnt have the ability to rip out a ticket yourself thus holding up the queue...

oh don't , definitely a pet hate .... farking pull it out you c...........
Barstewards. I always rip my ticket 3 quarters of the way with the book open for a clean easy tear out by the turnstyle folk. On this occasion I cant answer for my actions Sorry
Hang on - do we need to save the missed ones. I have missed some games this year so thought that if I hadn't used a slip it wasn't any use now. I wondered why 13 wasn't for the last game but thought maybe it had been used as a voucher for an away game. Hope I haven't thrown it away.

I'm with Nicholas. I do this ever since one steward made me report to the office to have my season ticket checked because I had not shown him the book when I handed him the ticket.
The official method should be....have it ripped three quarters....then rip it out YOURSELF in front of turnstile matey (thus showing him the book). If you time it right, you won't even have to break stride and you've done your bit for crowd safety/comfort! Try it and you'll never look back.

[cite]Posted By: Simonsen[/cite]And who would play the lead role? I'd go for Dennis. (obviously Robert Lee would be the efficient turnstile operative).
Let's get to work on the script:
Scene 1: A turnstile
Our hero (for it is he): "Ah, another home game. How optimistic I feel now that we have new ownership, a new management team and one or two new players about to make their debuts in front of a bumper crowd.
But what is this? A queue a mile long as the Valley faithful (ahem) renew their love affair with the Club. And, with only minutes to go before kick-off, it's going to take some fancy ticket work by myself and the courteous Robert Lee to get into the ground ere BWP nets his first goal."
"....and for me and my compatriots to have sufficient time for a comfort break, on account of having been in the boozer for two and a half hours (to quell pre-match nerves)...."
We've got to have a slight twist to the plot now...some sort of disorder perhaps?
[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]Perhaps we could replace the turnstyle operators with Naughty by Nature, who could then quiz those of a certain age 'Are you an OAP ?'

Shall I reach over and press the button to release the gate for them as well...?

I got tripped up by this the other week. And it wasn't helped by the ticket collector then talking to me as if I was stupid.

see this was my downfall and why I have the vouchers all over the place.
You need the saved ones.
Text book.
Maybe get Choice to video it as a training aid?
The Superstore could then sell it as a DVD.
What title would it have though?

It's good.
I wondered about 'Turnstile and I'. Or maybe 'Enter the North Stand'?
Gate Expectations?
Inspired!
I now fancy 'Carry on Entering' with Charles Hawtrey as the hapless punter.
Don't expect you to get that one Dave !
Ahem ... that would be a pun on 'OPP' then, AFKA?
