Quote ="Abbott for England"It's idiotic because if you've lost your ticket, or not been given one (Happened to me at the Catalan game) you've to go in at the sides and barge your way past thousands of people through a crowded stand to get back where you want to be, that's more dangerous than just letting me past when showing the season ticket I paid a fortune for.'"
What'd be worse - everyone crowding into the centre section (like Hillsborough) or you having to walk round the edge to get in? I know, you know and everyone else knows the former would be the worst case scenario (albeit we're not penned in). Its not about whether you have a ticket for the right stand, its about controlling the crowds and ensuring their saftety by controlling the crowd that go into each section. If you didn't have a ticket for the right stand, you wouldn't be in there. You'd get it checked at either end of the stand to get in and the SS turnstyles wouldn't let you in without an SS ticket.
You're just an idiot for losing said small ticket or not getting one. Stick it in the back pocket and produce it when asked for it. Its a system that has been in place for quite some time. Surely you understand how it works by now?
No one else seems to have a problem with it.
