Drummer

Not for the first time I posted without thinking my post could be interpreted in another way, my apologies. What I was getting at was I wondered if the gate figure given for the York game was correct because I could see no way of a correct count when people where being let in through the gate and not the turnstiles. Kipax mentioned in an earlier post that a count was done fair enough but from an outsiders point of view it did look a bit suspect. I was in no way making an accusation that anyone was pocketing any gate money.
I think I better wear a disguise for the next home game, Jase can I borrow your new wig?:)

if I remember rightly quite a few people at the time thought the bouncers may have pocketed money, myself included. We hadn't long had them at the ground and then they were seen to be pocketing brass from an open gate.

Only a few days later we were informed by Mick Schultz that the gate was opened with his permission and had been monitored. End of accusation no problems from me or anybody else.

I thought at the time that the club had for years left themselves open to spurious accusation because we have always doubted the official gate given. We now have electrickery devices in place to monitor the turnstiles so there is no longer a problem there from me.

All is happy in the stanley wonderland again. Except fer t'roof

But these electrickery devices only work when people come through the turnstiles. I thought that with all these new Football League rules and police safety measures everybody had to come through a turnstile so that the crowd was monitored in the police controll room. I don't think that we will go to another Football League ground where a gate is opened for people with the right money. We must be seen to be professional in everything we do.

Forgive me Jeff, but I think you may have misunderstood, NO gate was open for taking the right monies only, however a turnstile was.......so the electrickery devices were working.

The only time (to my knowledge) that a GATE was opened was at the York game last season, before the new turnstile system was in place.

Hope this helps mate.:)

I've got to have one more say on this subject because it's bugging me. Are you 100% certain that the turnstile counters where working for the Blackburn game and for Saturdays game v Rochdale on the 2nd set of turnstiles at the Clayton End, the ones furthest from the clubhouse? :eek:
 
not that im 100% but the way mick shultz talked to me other night i thought that even if the electronical turnstyle counters arent working, then the manual one are there to back it up. :rolleyes:

To the very best of my knowledge yes, however JT's post is also correct, should the electrikery thing fail, then a manual counter/click is used.......ie each time someone enters the turnstile is counts via a mechanical device.

I cant state my life on it, but am 99.9% sure this is the case.
 
Like i said im only going off what the safetry officer mick said to me so therefore i would presume that is true...i think that this thread is more like you creating rumours but then not giving any information for anyone to investigate your claims...except what happened last year
 
New deal - It's well known by now my views on the attendence figures given, is there a scam, who knows?

I've noticed lots of postings about the poor service being given by the clubshop it's not good enough, what I want to know is whenever I have bought something in the shop including the extra cash I had to pay for my season ticket because somebody had not done their job correctly, I have never had a reciept even though I ask for one. I'm told it will be sent by e-mail or posted to me, utter bullsh*t is this a possible scam, who knows.

Don't bother giving me any crap about how hard they are working because I'm not having it, it's just a poor service that needs something doing about it now.
 
To the person m/f who left this message in my karma don't be shy your comment was relevent - "but why not actually complain to the club ask to speak to karen she will sort it for you"
I have complained and she did not sort it out that's why I having a moan on here just like everyone else who is not happy with the clubshop.
