Thanks to both clubs for early warning on the ticketing arrangements for Saturday.

games not all ticket

According to the Fax web-site, there will be no cash turnstiles and everyone has to buy a ticket from the ticket office in the car park before the game? Other clubs, such as Leigh, do the same thing but not seen it at POR before. www.halifaxrlfc.co.uk/news/artic ... -ticketing

"Today 12:10 @Halifax_Rlfc: Our fixture, away V @InfoFevRovers this Saturday, is ALL ticket".

DIY rugby league. "If you build it, they will come".

There's so many fans at games these days, clubs don't need to worry overly about ticketing arrangements, kick off times, change of dates etc etc.

This is why Rugby League is a massive sport in the UK. Such great communications with fans and the drive to make life easy for us. Other sports can only dream of matching Rugby League's fan engagement strategies.

Think i was looking for an excuse to miss this game and now i've found it.
All ticket why the feck ? who decides this e.

Very miss-leading to say the least, there is a ticket booth next to the turnstiles, you q there, buy a ticket then go through the turnstile into the ground. The club done this as the old system of pay turnstiles had too many flaws apparantly. its no problem you will get into the ground just as quick as before. You cant get into the ground without a ticket but you buy them at the ground,

What about if we have to park at the back of the ground like before? Cutting it fine for making kickoff as it is.

You wont have to park there, no segregation park and go where you like

Please explain it's worked fine for 100 years ! remember Sheffield at Bramhall Lane other year,queued 40 mins for tickets from their clubshop at a championship football ground which holds 30,000 plus the kick off was delayed and the attendance was 1022...ffs who dreams up this crap.

money going missing apparantly, you get in just as quick

more chance of money going missing when paying to a booth rather than a turnstyle with a counter.

Mr T Hall,

I explained this to a few fans from other club, not sure if I explained it to Halifax John or not, but more than happy to explain to you. Either via PM or in person if you fancy a beer before the game.

Safe journey to all the Fax fans coming over for the game.

the club think otherwise

There's no need to explain thanks clubs will do what they think is best for them.
It just adds to the downside of going away.I enjoy my trips to the LSV but in going there
you know to be early get a ticket and have a pint in Wren,but don't want this to be a feature of every away day.At Wakey other week i missed kick off there were 4 gates
open but only 1 for cash paying adults other 3 were empty and there was about 80 in my queue,this clueless fascination for ticketing games which attract 20% capacity attendances is beyond me.

@gingdong - Is the parking "round the back" still available? Tbh, it's a pretty good place to park up, even if we need to enter the ground from the other side.

Yes but you cant get there through the car park, go past it down post office road and turn left

Noted and FWIW I agree with your sentiments.

What's the problem?
You get there a little early and queue up for your ticket, you then go to the turnstile and produce your ticket and then you get in.
Scenario, a full paying adult turns up at the turnstile, gives over his £17 gets in, the turnstile operator puts £6 in his pocket and £11 in the till.
Many turnstiles do not differentiation between us old biddies and full payers.

Dave, no you didn't, pm me if it's different from what I said above.
Best wishes

How many ticket booths? If it's just one then don't bother trying to gloss over this abysmal policy. A thousand people queuing outside one ticket office will p155 people off. Still, who gives a rats ass about fans?

You get me wrong, no seriously you get me so wrong, im not trying to gloss anything over because\ personally I don't give a flying shiiiite if you attend or not, will not make 1 bit of diff to my life, im telling folk exactly as it is. When it was announced what the club were doing there was mass hysteria on fev social media outlets, people saying basically the same as you, the reality is you are no longer getting in the ground the q goes down very, very fast, there is 1 booth with 4 or 5 working in it, then there is no q at the turnstile your straight in

If that's the case I will retract. I will report back later today

It all went very smoothly
