North Stand Doors

[Silver Fox]

Another system on Saturday with the middle doors open, but that was it, not even allowed a turnstile pass out down our end, meaning everyone had to go through the beer queues to get out TBF to the steward I spoke to, she was pretty ashamed of the whole shambles

Why aren't they opening the North Stand doors at half time this season? It was a cracking plan last year as it meant smokers didn't need to rush their pint and it was also a winner for the less cool fans as the concourse was fewer busy and queues for food outlets were reduced as it was easier to use the ones outside.

As everybody won it seems a bit rubbish to knock it on the head

Said this last week to a Steward. It is because apparently fans were turning up at Half Time without tickets. God knows where they sat for the sell-out games!

Don't be silly - they took the place of the early leavers!

dont see how this new system was any easier to police than the last one tbf
still requires people to keep an eye out for people coming in and sneaking under the tape

I heard someone complain that outside it was so smokey he didn't want to take his children out.

He had a point....................alot of smoke around the burger bar.

Oh well..

No he f*cking didn't.

The clue is in the word "outside"

Err..................did you actually go to this area on Saturday?

[Huntley & Palmer]

Fair play, they finally listened and the old method of opening all the blue doors was in place on Saturday. Hope they keep it

[melonhead]

agreed.

sanity breaks out at mad stad

[Silver Fox]

Another Saturday win for common sense (maybe helped by the TV trucks I suppose)

[Silver Fox]

No TV trucks on Tuesday and yet common sense reigned again. Maybe soon the bar service will get fixed

In the West Stand crowd, a dead end world
the East Stand boys shag West Stand girls

North Stand Doors
dum-dum dum-dum

Me too now.

Looks like the doors staying open might be a permanent fixture

Yet people still complain about the lack of progress at the club

Well they don't have to worry about anyone trying to sneak in at H/T to watch that crap

Fast becoming my favourite Club Policies thread.

Great policy - means you can get a drink and some food at half time without missing any of the game. Those Polish girls at the chippy van serve much faster than the stupid students employed in the concourse refreshments areas.

[Silver Fox]

Managed 2 cigs at half time NYD, which I'm sure we can all agree proves the north stand doors policy is a great great thing. However news reached me that the east stand have TVs outside, come on Reading this is an issue that needs to be remedied before anything else at the club

If our new Omani overlords (who, for the avoidance of doubt, I welcome) take control, one can only assume that the east stand will see further favouritism of this kind.
