Anyone queuing to enter turnstiles to pontoon stand check out the main gate and you will see stewards letting in people for a number of reasons, if 1 person cannot enter via turnstiles they are let in along with family and friends!


On Saturday I was walking towards the Ponny turnstile, and was told to ease the queues to go through the lower findus gates (ticket was scanned though).

It is amazing that this problem has never existed for 17 seasons, then after only 6 games we have this situation. It's not a good situation and needs sorting out, but after 17 years it's one of the better problems to have.

It does show that a sleeping giant has woken up.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Maybe a member of The Trust can give their take on this or ask the appropriate people at the club. If "freebies" are being given out and not being used then that should be looked into. The numbers may be only small but then again a hundred unused freebies equates to lost revenue of at least £2,000/match approx or £44,000 over a season.

There are 3 reserved seats behind me that have had no one in them all season. I also talked to a lad I know on Saturday who had 2 tickets going spare from people who couldn't make the game. That's 5 missing bodies in the ground and I'm sure most will know of similar situations.

That's true ginny.

To solve that someone from the club could  literally sit in every 'restricted' view seat, take a picture and then hyperlink from the seat in the sales page to the picture so that anyone whose not familiar could see exactly what view they would be paying for.

Probably a day of one of the staff's time but would be worth it.


This sounds very sad and pathetic but I'd happily do this for the club when I come up on Wednesday free of charge, I'm sure others would aswell.

One thing I have been thinking of doing now for a while as a fundraiser is to sit in every seat in Blundell Park.  I think Robbie Savage and Alan Shearer did this a few years back at Wembley.

Obviously it wouldn't be anywhere near that feat but I have absolutely no idea how long it would take, if I ever did get round to doing it.

It might be an idea to offer a voucher for a ticket to these companies or schools. If the voucher has not been redeemed by midday on match day then it will be sold.

I think if it’s a school or a company they should at least have the decency to let the club know the day before
