Mattredrobin Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 My mum has taken my nephew and son down there she's sent some pics through. I have no idea who comes up with this plan. Seems chaotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Basically one long queue then people just broke through barriers to players. . . Maybe with permission of stewards I couldn’t see. Then just utter farce , essentially a bun fight with no organisation and no one trying to take control. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 I think you want to be looking at the behaviour of fellow fans, not the lack of stewards at a free event 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Well, been here since 13.40 & haven’t seen a single player! Seems like ques are mixing, no barriers to direct the flow. Think the players are in multiple parts of the concourse? Who comes up with these ideas? Great afternoon out for the kids. COYR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Trouble is this was a disaster from the start because 1 it was open to 15k of season ticket holders out of term time(summer hols) and the amount of time you had to see players and get signatures in 1.5 hours just unrealistic.

bcfc01 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 One other thing about today was the parking. I parked in the City car park and registered my car for two hours parking for free using the registration tablet in the coffee shop. There were big queues for the payment machines outside the coffee shop. You don't need to pay to park there and it takes about 30 seconds to register the car in the coffee shop - why isn't/wasn't that advertised ? Or is that just for the coffee shop ? Just seems a bit strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a bit strange. If there were big queues of people waiting to pay, that explains why they didn’t advertise that it’s free..!

Surely you should never under estimate especially the rise in kids season ticket sales and it's free,If you have 15k season ticket holders then plan for that yes maybe over the top because people at work etc but have the event from 1 to 5 then you won't have a rush of people trying to get in within the hour and a half time slot. Under estimated the enthusiasm for the season it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsham Alf Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Well that was an utter farce. How did the club honestly think they could accommodate our loyal fans in an hour and a half ? There were stewards present but they needed to ensure fans only went to one group of players, instead of meeting all of them! My pal and I left at 2:20 as the queue was still going to take at least another half hour. Commercially we are a bit of a mess - our merchandise including shirts in the shop is really poor quality. As for the travesty of a logo (is it a Robin or a Hawke?) on the reverse don’t get me started. John Lansdown what are you up to ? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
