Children having their own turnstile? Where has that come from?
It was the clubs answer to how to avoid the deluge of Jimmy Crankie types. Can't remember if it was an answer to a question at the Fans Forum or the AB, but it's come from the club. I imagine it's not going to happen though, just like the issue itself is a PR exercise excuse rather than something to be focused on. |

Found it, it was in the AB for December. "The club is actively looking at clamping down on people using wrong tickets i.e at last game they found at least 20 people using children's tickets when they were adults etc.. it was suggested that potentially specific turnstiles could be used for Adults & Children. To help resolve this issue." To me this reads that they are suggesting that one turnstile be used for adults with children, not children having their own turnstile. You would think that the stewards could just check each ticket though to resolve the issue. |

All very well, but the ticket scanners weren’t working in the DRS where we went in last night so effectively no checks at all

Skidata, who installed the system are a competitor to my wife’s company. They predominantly instal car parking equipment but dabble in other arenas like yes the turnstile system at the CG. Not dissimilar to the car parking systems work TBF. Now in keeping with the way these things work, initially there would have been a maintenance contract built into the original installation for a period of, whatever. See where this is going? After that initial agreement runs out there is an option to negotiate another maintenance agreement a favourable rates or… you can have an adhoc situation where you pay as you go but at a much higher call out rate and parts are not at any favourable rates either. What do you think we have? |

I watched from home yesterday, i'm fascinated by how people gained access to the DRS if the scanners weren't working... |

My mate was asked "how do we know that this is this years Season Ticket" - there are no dates on ours. "That's the clubs problem". They were fine about it, just amused me - the manual backup when the system goes down must be a nightmare! Suspect somebody cocked up database validation expiry date or marked them "used" for that game - or however the expiry is calculated (hopefully the card is just a barcode). Maintenance contracts aside. I watched from home yesterday, i'm fascinated by how people gained access to the DRS if the scanners weren't working...
MKI eyeball check and turnstyle unlock override by operator. I *think* it was just STs that weren't working. |

If you wanted to validate that there are more than 20 people getting in on the wrong tickets, that's a good opportunity in my eyes. Assuming the stadium manager etc knew it was happening BOOO Batch edited his post so i seem insane. If only ST's - fine. |

Showing the ticket to the operative who had a quick look then let me through. 'Permission expired' or similar error msg when scanning my ST. |

The operator just pressed a button to let you in. There was a young girl on mine who wasn’t really looking at tickets, in fact was more interested in what was on her phone |
