Do you think there is a risk the club may be unaware that some of the turnstiles don't work? Either way, it's hardly the fans' job to point it out.valleynick66 said:
I notice you have referenced this a few times.seth plum said:Looking forward to all turnstiles being fully operational having been sorted by Keohane who has had months to attend to this matter and get it sorted.
Have you formally enquired of the club to explain what the issue is (if there is one) or perhaps via the Fans co-ordinator / liaison?
I don't know if the perceived problem might be a result of a technical issue which is taking time to fix or is a plain & simple decision not to use all turnstiles due to some resource constraints / cost saving practicalities.
Might be worth seeking an answer to satisfy your curiosity. I am a firm believer in that things don't always get fixed which aren't flagged/highlighted.3 -
I am a firm believer that a thorough going over of a very basic element (entrance) to an event at the Valley should be reviewed and fixed before the event as a matter of course, or a matter of routine.valleynick66 said:

Not disputing that at all.seth plum said:

Might be worth seeking an answer to satisfy your curiosity. I am a firm believer in that things don't always get fixed which aren't flagged/highlighted.But as it’s a curiosity for you it would at least be interesting to see what response the club give.Rope to hang them selves by?0 -
I don't want to undermine the club, I simply want all the turnstiles open.1

If anyone wants 2 freebies for tomorrow get in touch livo
Also have 3 for Saturday. Both sets are in the west upper pretty high up, they are free tickets I will email to you but a donation to the upbeats or Macmillan would be a nice touch. First come first served. Send me a private message with the email address you want the tickets sent to and what game.1 -
I hope the PM was an education in names of Valley stands.Lordflashheart said:

But that’s partly my point. They may have a legitimate issue for some and which they have a dependency on others to resolve. At the moment we don’t know why.seth plum said:I don't want to undermine the club, I simply want all the turnstiles open.
EDIT
To add the reason I say this is because many years ago I challenged / enquired why in injury time the electronic scoreboard never showed the added minutes being counted up in the same way each 45 mins are.I learnt it was a premier league / FA thing.I never knew but my assumption of incompetence / unwillingness to do what seemed an obvious thing was challenged!0 -
They close two turnstiles every match just to piss Seth off.valleynick66 said:

I reckon Royal Oak will be banged out by 1.00pmDOUCHER said:
it seems to be selling well and personally i think it will sell out no problem - i've got about 15 extras going for that one - vets team xmas do and can see a lot of similar happening - just gotta try and get in crossbars or royal oak now - what time do we reckon they will be full up by ??Lordflashheart said:Do we have any info on likely crowd for Cambridge ?I see from the Cambridge Utd website we have only given them lower half of the Jimmy Seed Stand
I don’t go to Crossbars, so can’t help there I’m afraid0 -

If you want a table, you wanna be queuing at 12 when it opens. Later than 1 and you may not get in0 -
There is an explanation from the Head of Match Day Operations about the turnstiles here:seth plum said:I don't want to undermine the club, I simply want all the turnstiles open.

Excellent and simple but informative response. Puts it in perspective now.castrust said:

https://www.castrust.org/2021/12/arrive-early-on-tuesday-and-saturday/Our ground is showing signs of wear and tear now. The positive is the intention to fix notwithstanding only occasional excess demand whilst we are in League 1.1 -
The article indicates a total of three non working turnstiles in the whole ground.
An improvement, because at least six turnstiles at the non Sam Bartram entrance to the Alan Curbishley stand alone were not operational at the Plymouth game.
Keohane sends out the message for fans to arrive early (whatever the weather) because I believe he has been so lazy and diffident about such a basic factor they hadn’t been attended to.
The club making a statement about the turnstiles is in itself telling, yet some regard pesky fans mentioning the issue as the real problem.Anyway the evidence of this evening will be informative.1 -

Still got two spares in NW stand if anyone is in need0

Is the operations director - who is actually in charge of repairs, as opposed to the part-time safety officer who we know is interested in communicating with fans because he is one - hiding under the table again?valleynick66 said:

On a second read it could be ambiguous and that the 3 relate to the West Stand.seth plum said:The article indicates a total of three non working turnstiles in the whole ground.

The question put to Mick was specifically about The West Stand so I'm sure the three he refers to are West Stand turnstilesvalleynick66 said:

I reckon there will be a lot more no-shows tonight then Plymouth, weather being a big factor. Probably 20ish-k actually in the ground.2
