Who actually knows where they were from but it was a joke with just under 18 thousand in attendance

Much better tonight in Tile Mountain block 30. Only one of 6 turnstiles shut. Yes it was way better. I wonder if in view of Mutters post they’re moving the staff round so it isn’t just one stand hammered every week?

We did move staff around and had to bring some staff in from Coventry which got stuck in traffic. We are very short staffed which are a lot of businesses at the moment. It's not the clubs fault it's just the situation we are in at the moment so some patience would be appreciated and not the moaning and some abuse me and my fellow staff have been receiving.

Mate I had a moan on here and a bit of a moan at Anthony Emerson but I wouldn’t get on at the staff at the ground. It’s not their fault no matter what the reasons the club can’t get staff in. My moan to Anthony btw was more at the lack of info coming from the club. You’ve been far more informative on the matter than the club has. If they told us what the problem was we’d be far more understanding.

To be honest, do the turnstiles even need manning? The one I went through last night I was asked to scan the card myself, the member of staff did absolutely nothing.

Cheers mt that's why I've been posting so everyone can understand what's going on and have a bit of patience. I arnt to affected by the moaning as I work away end and have done for years. As somebody mentioned earlier in the thread wages arnt bad £10 an hour and get to watch the match so it works out at roughly £45 for 2hrs

As for staff not doing anything who do you think let's you in? You try standing there for 2hrs before kick off in January bloody freezing but we do it to help elderly fans who arnt good with technology and prefer a friendly face.

That wasn't a dig, apologies if that's how it came across. Other clubs use unmanned self scan turnstiles, there's no reason why we can't either?

No because scanners arnt connected to entrance button needs to be done manually this stops fans getting in with no tickets which you might think is not a problem but we get quite a few every game trying it and not just away fans.

Apology excepted mt here's hoping situation sorted soon because if we stay in with a ch ance of play offs or automatic promotion and crowds get larger could be a problem.

I think someone’s mentioned fans doubling up at other grounds with self scan. That is two squeezing through on one turn. Wouldn’t work with a bat fastard like me but two skinny minnies might do it.

Why do people advocate getting manless turnstiles as those behind the counter are apparently doing fuck all?
Those people need money just like everybody else and long may they stay doing that job in all conditions as long as it gives them a wage
Is getting them fucked off really what some have come too?
Sigh

Thanks Werrington for your support we have a young girl who works turnstiles and she left a Saturday job at trentham where she was on £4.65 an hour to work at stoke because its more money and she enjoys it. Me personally I don't do it for the money (I have a well paid job) I do it for the banter and really enjoy it.
