Credit where credits due , as at AG they are up with the modern technology The electronic turnstiles ..... hmmm Well they’re sort of electronic .... it appears that the Sags scan their tickets /cards and if the light turns green a bloke presses a pedal to allow them entry FFS can't we get anything right? The only thing I could do was laugh as the guy watched me beep my card at the machine before pressing a peddle to let me through! My point is they were not electronic. A guy watched the light come on and then pushed a peddle to let me through. Still it sounds a state of the art system allowing swift and safe entry ..... ...........ohhhhhhhhh...... hang on ......... I banged my knee cause of a malfunction (the bloke forgot to press the peddle). And if it couldn’t be more funny , the new state of the art system is defended by a few It’s not there to save staffing revenue it’s there to stop ticket fraud and turnstile operators pocketing some of the gate money. Jobs a success t Ticket Fraud ? At the Minimal ? This plus if people read their ST Card, you are asked to retain it for future seasons if you renew, cutting down on administration and associated costs Exactly, modernisation as well as it is tied in with away prioritisation and probably marketing and catering in the future Yes , don’t people realise that the cards used for season cards can be purchased in quantities for about 20p each I guess saving issuing new cards will help pay for that elusive goal scorer Jesus wept , you couldn’t make it up ... the eternal gift that keeps giving Well worth a read http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/12691/electronic-turnstiles TURNSTILE MAN is security counting scanning hand digits,less than 6,he directs them to away end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider_boy Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I see Wael's avoiding the fans now (from twitter) due to a last minute meeting on a Sunday: WaelVerified account @waelalqadi Aug 11 More A big apology to everyone expecting to see me at the @martinbelstenm1 game tomorrow! Sadly I am no longer to make it due to a meeting that has come up last minute, I hope everyone has a great day and you raise lots of money for St Peters Hospice!

Tough in old style turnstyles and presumably no CCTV. Older City fans might remember similar shenanigans at AG, before the Gap became a Chasm and we pulled clear from the Gas's world of shabby mediocrity.

samo II Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 They might not be in active trouble, but I think it is pretty clear to see, even if you take away the rivalry and try to view it objectively, that they are in no better position to push on than any other bottom half League One team, and they’ll need something extraordinarily on the pitch to progress beyond that. The two promotions and the takeover seem to have left them with a bit of a warped sense of what they are in a position to achieve, and that’s what is making this so hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Kind of feel sorry for Wael. By all rights he should be watching games in a nice shiny new stadium. Him and his family entertaining friends, family and business contacts is corporate hospitality at the ground. Nice offices and a foot hold in the UK for whatever they wish to do, all with a nice football club to invest in a little (of course then a nice wad of cash from pocketing some of the mem money). Instead he was sold a dud, and I imagine his family are none to happy about it either, as selling / staying is going to tarnish their business credentials one way or the other, I expect they have no idea what to do with the club at the moment, so just treading water hoping something comes up.

If Wael leaves now he will sell the Mem to get money back to pay off the debts. They will not be out of pocket but the sags wont have a ground and be penniless. They are actively in trouble now if they do not find a buyer as they have owners who will not put money in and have spiralling debts - from what I gather anyway.

Xiled Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 From listening to Wael yesterday (and I don't make a habit of it) the family are withdrawing support, they have no plans to work on their taining ground (and will move to another temporary playing field), they will not be developing the Memorial Ground and they have no new stadium options but to keep people guessing he said they had to keep them secret. Basically he's stitching the fans up with vague promises that will ultimately deliver nothing. Exactly the same as the Nick Higgs stitch-up when he promised the Al-Qadi family that the new stadium was a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
