Golden turnstile on Friday night
http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/g...%20picture.jpgBoth the Clayton Terrace and the Main Stand will have a Golden Turnstile for the match against Darlington on Friday evening, for any season ticket holder wishing to pay instead of using their voucher or any supporter who will consider paying above and beyond the standard price of match day admission.

All going through the turnstile will receive a raffle ticket and at half time there will be a draw on the pitch, with the winner receiving a signed shirt, and two runners up prizes of hospitality for two in the Buy-the-House Lounge at a future game and a mascot package.

There have been suggestions made to the club that both ideas may be of interest to supporters, and so we would like to offer something back to those who choose to do so.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Bu**er......Can I have a ticket - I won't be there but I'll be paying my gate via Paypal....:D:D

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Nice idea. Proves the club are showing a bit more savvy regarding good customer relations! :)

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo

The first and the last match my wife attended was a free game against Torquay a couple of seasons ago. It rained heavy the whole game and she swore she would never go again.
I have managed to persuad her to go to the Friday night game against Darlington,so if you see someone knitting ,or reading the OK magazine while the match is on I will be sat next to her. At least we will have a roof over our heads this time. Good luck Reds, dont let me down.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

I'm going on Friday to support the cause. Do you reckon she will have finished reading it before half time so I can borrow it :D

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

I'm sure we could find you something constructive to do........:rolleyes:. You can abuse the Ref in my absence....:D

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Doug i'll be more than happy to abuse the referee on behalf of you if lancsdave gets his OK magazine :P

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

that was the only downside tonight, thought the ref had a decent game.:D

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Bobby Grant didn't think so :D
Thankfully the ref missed Bobby's words of 'encouragement'.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

It's just a shame that this scheme wasn't explained properly to the people working on the 'golden turnstyle'. As a season-ticket holder I chose to pay on the gate. In fact I actually paid £20 last night for my entry fee, but I was told that I didn't qualify for a raffle ticket as that was only for people who put money into the bucket.

If people were 'donating' by paying over the odds, I doubt many would also put money into a bucket too.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

That's not good TM it sounds simple enough on the website why do they complicate things ? We paid £40 to get in gave 2 £20s said keep change for the fund, then some steward in clayton end said we couldn't sit down unless we had a ticket !!! I said how do I get one or can I pay more to sit as the wife preferred to I was just told no we had to stand. This is the sort of stuff I don't miss about Stanley the guy was an arse sorry if he's someones dad on here but I felt like chinning him, we went an hour before kick off so we could sit as well.

Are seats just for season ticket holders ? I then saw loads of Bury fans sat on seats !!! Nice gesture them coming but not good upsetting local fans returning really.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

I qued up at the turnstle and paid £13. we didnt know there we were supposed to be 2 prices and no one explained anything to us about tickets. There were 12 of us and we got in at kick off.

We didnt mean to upset any regulars, we didnt even know you needed a ticket. We just walked in the turnstile went to the left and walked around the front and into a seat. No one said we couldnt so we certainly didnt intend to upset anyone.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Not your fault pal at all thanks for going, it's the stewards not knowing their arse from their elbow even if they were working for free they need to be a but more helpful. I gathered later as I watched people walk round he obviously had given up getting abuse or been told to let people sit down if they wanted.

Just spoilt the experiance for the wife doubt she will go again but I'll work on her :D

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Ohhh eerrrr missus :)

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Posted via Mobile Device we paid to get in and wasn't asked about seating or standing as usual nor the stewards either. We sat in front of goals without problem, there was plenty of seats so couldn't see a problem if u wanted to sit seems the stewards were a bit ott as it wasn't an enforced thing last nite than usual.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Exactly (in scouse accent) :D:D:D

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Posted via Mobile Device u should of tried sneaking to seats at half time lol.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Thought of that but had a nice spot leaning on the red rail behind lol.

Can someone just explain the situation to me regarding seats don't mind paying extra to sit.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

You would have to confirm with the club, but I am sure that when you pay in the Clayton End, you are asked and then get a ticket either way... Like StanleyMad said last night was a bit O.T.T. From some stewards, could not handle the huge crowd :D :D :)

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

it doesn't cost any extra to sit or stand (so why all the bother). I've always just paid my £13 and then got asked 'sitting or standing' and they give you the ticket. It's time they just stopped bothering with it and let folk come and go as they please

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Here here....

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Thanks for the replies if he had said go back and get a ticket I would have I didn't know what he was on about but his attitude was poor and I didn't want to cause a rumpus in case I got chucked out lol.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Someone got that one wrong then, I paid to get in and I got a ticket.
Did you hand your season ticket stub in?
Did you go in via the usual gate?
I queued up at the 1st one because there was a bit of gold tinsel there, thought that was the golden gate but it wasn't, had to join the queue again at the normal season ticket gate

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

I went through the normal season ticket turnstile, which did have a bit of golden tinsel pinned to it.

I was told that it was ticket 15 and when I asked if she wanted the stub as well as my £20, she said, "I think so..... ummmmm.... never mind"

I'm not blaming any individuals here, but I wish they'd get these things clarified in advance, then everyone knows what's happening.

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

It's not exactly difficult to see if all the seats are full is it :rolleyes:

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

these are simple things to resolve, keep people happy, do NOT understand em at all.:confused:

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

Posted via Mobile Device. Right have explanation sort of basically some of the seating area was ear marked for college kids with tickets for the match, dont ask was something to do with commercial dept, which left mick n his team with a safety issue as notification was a bit late leaving chief safety officer with a potential head ache hence precaution on that area before kick off, with it being a potentially a big gate increase. Hope that explains things a lil :)

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

:(college kids with tickets for the match, dont ask was something to do with commercial dept:(:(

Re: Golden Turnstile V Darlo
 

When we got there at 7pm there was not one person on the seats and only 3 or 4 on the terrace, I said to him what you're gonna fill all that ? He just said if I had no ticket we couldn't sit so I asked if we could pay more to sit and he refused then you find out they probably gave the tickets away free to people at college :confused: makes sense that I'd already spent £50 by the time I met him on raffle tickets and food and entrance fee, its barmy sometimes that club.

Oh whose the lad selling raffle tickets near the Clayton End he's a proper star, walked past him when he asked if I wanted tickets said I only had £20 pound notes thinking he would so ok but he said Ive plenty of change here so I turned around and said ok give us 3 or 4 he then said why not spend a fiver I just laughed and said ok again ..... proper salesman that lad. :D
