The head of security and his team fucked up big time v Derby and will see this pitiful over reaction as being proactive. His head is probably on the block as we speak.

Pretty much this. It was just pure posturing peacock style.

When you take a step back and look at what their response was it was laughable.

Just walk around to the telegraph stand I’ve never understood why people go to the turnstiles that there block is near to and queue for 20 minutes.

Perhaps the club should communicate better that you can use any turnstile to get in the ground?

No mate. We all go into the turnstiles that have no queue.

Yeah, but it's OK to go in the turnstiles behind the cheap seats at one end if your ST is for the cheap seats at the other (only found this out at Forest first game this season).

This is true. Just need to have five pints then run head first at the wall between turnstiles 9 & 10.

All cheap seats this season aren't they?

So instead of queuing for ages at the corner I can just take my pick of any empty turnstile in all of the East and North stands?

Does this work for printed tickets as well as ST cards?

Id be very surprised if the system is set up to do more than check it’s a valid ticket that hasn’t been used yet so I’d guess so. Give it a go tomorrow and let us know how you get on.

I might do, have some Bristol City fans with me so was going to show them to their end then I'm basically at my normal turnstile.

I'd be surprised if the steward on the gate wouldn't just tell me to go where I'm supposed to if I'm trying to get in where I shouldn't though.

They don’t check tickets do they? I’m season ticket but I’ve never been checked, just searched/patted down.

Depends what mood they're in. Mine was checked going through the turnstiles and into the stand on Tuesday.

Bunch of clueless simpletons. Needs rectifying, unless they have a remit to feel up pensioners.

Time to make it plain this is out of order even if there is a tiny minority of idiots.
Do they treat rugby fans this way.
It's so over the top.

No idea where you’re going in. I got to the ground 20 mins before kick off and didn’t get in until 5 minutes before the game started queuing to get in turnstile 21.

Didn't know you were a foreigner. Why didn't you join the queue like a normal person?

They don't treat Rugby fans like that because they don't have idiots who pick fights with visiting supporters

Dont let Sunderland fans read that, we will get the blame for them losing at home in the FA cup.
