revolution saint Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 No, not the band, but what was happening with the huge queue to get in to North Kingsland yesterday? Also at HT there was only one poor lad serving the bottle bar. Obviously this doesn't rate up there with righteous outrage of the "not at the game brigade" singing anti pompey songs but it was a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 One of the sets of turnstiles was completely closed; the queues were ridiculous to get in there, glad I wasn't in there. I was in the chapel for the game, and the half time queue for beer was equally disgraceful. Why, when there is only one bar supposed to serve up to 4000 customers, are there only 2 tills, and 2 staff members taking orders? Dreadful service, unless you go down and miss 5 minutes of the first half you don't stand any chance of getting a drink any time quickly. Simple solution, install as many tills as possible and put more staff on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaffer Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 where i go in 4 turnstiles were shut for whatever reason. A guy tried to queue jump and I thought the guy in front of me was going to lump him one.In the end he dissapeared to the back of the queue and rightly so.

Huffton Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 I thought they had a new catering company? It looked to me like the same (clueless) supervisor and a load of new teenagers. Just as bad as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc1971 Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 I think they were told to look out for duplicate S/t`s. After the big Cock up the were a few around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_bert Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 I walked straight past the queue and into Turnstile F, where there wasn't a queue and walked along inside the stadium and up to my seat. I couldn't believe why people weren't doing the same? Yep, we did the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe why people weren't doing the same? me too! We seem to have a lot of hard of thinking who enjoy waiting at the first turnstile they come to.

Dr Who? Posted 7 August, 2011 Share Posted 7 August, 2011 They were short staffed, one of the stewards admitted it. Lots of people on holiday who work at the ground. He did say first of all just a late walk up, and then said no we are short staffed, as they are on holiday, do not tell anyone I said that... whoops!! F was fine though!! Sure you could bring in temps to work on the gate? Oh well, what a day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolution saint Posted 7 August, 2011 Author Share Posted 7 August, 2011 me too! We seem to have a lot of hard of thinking who enjoy waiting at the first turnstile they come to. Because it's a gamble. If they're short staffed on one turnstile it would be logical to assume they're short in all areas of the ground. Go round and investigate and you lose your place and face a longer queue - it's not that hard to understand for some intellectual monolith like you is it? Surprised it need explaining really......
