Chaos at Gate 3 Yesterday

[splott parker]

Missed the start of the game yesterday due to this. Turnstiles not working, or working intermittently, eventually got in at Gate 4. Don’t know why you need to enter at a particular group of turnstiles at the Canton/Canton Grandstand part of the ground, you are on the same concourse after entering. Wouldn’t it be better for fans to enter at the nearest available (or shortest queue) turnstile on arrival, then make their way to their seat as I eventually did yesterday.

My gate changed from 4 to 5 this season. Was shocked at how empty it was at half two, just waltzed straight in

Apparently Gates 3,4,5 & 9 are paired together, so you can use any of these if you have a ticket for one of them.

Says entrance gate 3 on the season ticket card, so have always used that. First time I’ve used gate 4 yesterday. The stewards at gate 3
were telling us yesterday that because of the turnstile failure gate 4 would accept our cards. I assumed that using your card at a different gate than what’s stated on your card would result in rejection. Wouldn’t want to attempt it when turnstiles are working normally as could result in queuing up twice.
As I said though, it would be sensible for ‘same concourse’ cards to be usable at any relevant turnstile.

Tony brought the issue up on the SLO group Whattsapp group and Wayne Nash informed us of the entrance ‘grouping’..

Mine was for entrance 9 and I went in via 4 as I’d had to go to the TO to pick up Reading tickets, so that seemed to back up what he said.

Re: Chaos at Gate 3 Yesterday

Use gate 4 every now and then even though gate 3 is on my season ticket, it definitely works

We always use gate 3 but it's more of a 'sugar mouse' thing (if you've read Fever Pitch you'll know what I mean).

Re: Chaos at Gate 3 Yesterday

If you want to get to 116 you have to use Gate 9¾.
