Never had a problem in the corner. Compare that to nearly all other grounds.

it's not the corner that is the issue if you try and go further than the first set of turnstiles you come to a bit where the toilets are opposite 2 kiosks and the queues merge into a wall of people

you mix them with people trying to either get to the smoking area or somewhere else and it is a clusterfuck at lot of the time

Compared to the queues, it's not a serious issue.

The queues are dreadful but inside the bowl we have it very well. Even other 'modern' grounds like Stoke, Huddersfield and Swansea worse inside. Even Wembley was more difficult going to the toilet than the CBS.

It is really is, sorry but you really don't have a clue what you are talking about.

There is an accept by the stadium choke point due to the poor design.

Nowhere at Wembley is in as bad as this. It's not your ability to go to the toilet as has been clearly said it is the combination at that point that causes issues.

The fact that you who sits in a different part of the ground has no issues going to a toilet that is nothing to do with the issue has basically fuck all to do with anything.

You need to sit this one out now.

Yeah that's fair enough but this is the first time for a while I've heard someone complain about the concourse.

We all have these complaints but have visited the likes of QPR, Leeds, Wednesday and Ipswich where you would never make the second half of you went for a drink or toilet trip on the 30th minute. Those stadiums are genuine safety risks.

I didn’t see any complaints from the Millwall fans. They had a turnstile each

Random question from a Preston fan coming down- are there food trucks etc outside the ground now? Last time he came there weren’t.

Shamefully I haven’t been able to make it down this season, but last home game I made was Brum at the end of last season and we had loads on offer and bars out there- is that more regular now?

96,000 at the MCG tonight… not one issue walking in, took about 5 seconds, no queue, about 10 mins before start. This is how it’s done, just scan your phone.

You walk through a metal detector first and get patted down if necessary

Problem is, if you made it phone tickets, people would have issues with no charge after spending the day taking tiktoks and ordering unknown substances.

They've now got handheld scanners and have opened up the exit gates. They are also searching from a distance. Should hopefully work.

Again tonight arrived 30 minutes before kick off and just walked straight in, I sit opposite the dugouts.

The snake barriers and searching at the start of them are a good step forward though.
