The Stewards were checking tickets before entering....

The Ninian stand yesterday :ugeek: that's the first time that's happened, apparently they were concerned about supporters wanting to get near the away support, don't know why this game was so special, as they haven't even done that for the Jacks :roll:

they always check in the canton, bit of a pain in the arse, as you gotta scan it to get into ground, show them when going up first set of stairs.. then someone else asks to see it halfway up the stairs

Really p*ssed off with the ones by 105, making a fuss because I haven't got a photo on mine. I paid for the extra bit for photo and they never done it. Told me I have to get new photos and pay for it again.

I had a photo on my one in 2011/2012 but haven't for 2 seasons.

Last season I had no trouble as the stewards who were by 105 would always have at least one who was always there, now they keep changing them every game.

why are they doing that they should only be concerned with making sure the right people are in the right areas, whether youre the person who is supposed to be in that seat or not aslong as your in the right seat I dont see what their issue is, strange one that.

The annoyance for me is why stewards are changing aisle every game this season, past 2 seasons where I sat I was in 104 for MM's first season and 105 last season they always had at least one person on the steps every game.

strange again, you have to show consistency if you work the same aisle game after game you start to recognise faces, know him, know him, yeah hes here every week. Dont know you (check ticket) are you in the right area. If you keep swapping around your forever checking tickets.

you should only have your ticket checked a maximum of 2 times at any 1 game. Once at the turnstile, are you using the right gate (nothing more annoying than having a guy who cant get in the ground to find hes using the wrong gate). 2nd time at your ailse to check your at the right aisle and to direct you to your seat, left and down, right and down, right and up, left and up (that way you know exactly where your going and gives a smooth flow of fans) having your ticket checked over and over ust causes frustration and bottle necks at aisles which can cause dangers

The stewards were discussing and questioned my mate who had a photo on his, it was quite obvious the photo was him, he has big ears.

I dont understand why the stewards are making an issue of photos, the seat number is the only information they should be concerning themselves with, if the club wants to question whether you should be in possession of that ticket it should be done at the turnstile (the lights system is that process) all stewards should be concerning themselves with at aisles is are you in the right area

I've used my dad's card on one occasion this season to see if they actually look at the photo (I'm 19 and my dad's 60, so there's a bit of a difference :lol: ) and I still got in without being questioned.

Same with me mate, annoying as f**k as I have to get it out 3 times before I get to my seat in 105, and have to explain to each steward about the photo situation :roll:
