Rob Burrows fathers didnt work at the Celtic game.

the tickets are for smokers to go out of the ground

any other names you want to drop

..as i was saying to lee smith when i was sat next to him on a radiator trying to get warm at hunslet the other week..the pass out tickets are useful if you want to go for a beer in the supporters club at halftime .
Anyone happen to know the attendance for that game ? And was it really the coldest match ever , or did i pick the coldest seat in the place ?

I asked one of the stewards that question, he said the stand
was at capacity and the pass outs were to stop anyone coming in later who shouldn't be there.

just over 1000 iirc

Some invisible entity is on my side. I’ve not had any problems getting into the sacred ground.

Here’s a tip that works for me every time: Stare at your card at least four times a day (Senior is my lucky squad number) and chant I will be accepted. This has the same affect as the Hare Krishna stuff what has by the way made my life complete.

huh?

so my south stand season ticket is useless, if i turn up late ill be told "sorry the stand is full" if you had an old cricket ticket you could get in

Thats the bottom line, yes. Your southstand season ticket is not a guarantee of entry into the southstand, all things being equal it should be, but given that its sold out for the season and its going to be at capacity for all of the home games, and given that people can stand where the hell they like and take up as much room as they like and not feel obliged to shuffle along and fill up the gaps often left in the middle of the blocks so that the stewards think there is crowding near and in the aisles - then they reserve the right to divert you to somewhere else in the ground.

You don't get this problem in seated areas.

Not true as you could, and I did, buy tickets for the SS on the day. This maybe an exception, the on the day bit, but you can buy them in the run up to all games.

Really ?

Sales must be down this year.

yeah my silver card is peeling on the front. I doubt it'll last the three years its meant to.

Maybe but I have had no probs buying tickets for the wife and 2 daughters for the SS over the years. They are all members this year as opposed to the 2 girls being season ticket holders in past years (now at uni so season ticket not viable) so on Friday I rang and got 2 onto their cards no probs, plus 1 freebie

its the post code wot did it ls13

unless you have darwoo coming late with his pint. shocked me on friday by coming in waaaaaaaay early. making a point i reckon

These forums have a anti-Bramley-filter built in to them?
I'm actually living in LS12 now , but spent most of my life a stones throw from Maclaren Field . Used to go there and was a season ticket holder for years . Even had an advert board behind the Daisy end posts at one point . The board came with 4 tickets per game for 400 quid a season iirc . Was useful , could go for a beer or three in the rugby ground on an afternoon in the bad old days when the pubs used to shut for a couple of hours

Indeed ... and with a seat number you don't have to get there an hour before kick-off to reserve your spot.
That fact alone improves my "match day experience" hugely.
In that saved hour, I can pop to the chip shop and/or have a pint in the cricket seats (or a Wilson's pie now) or simply turn up just before kick-off ... the choice is mine.

Will you be leaving to go to the loo during the match, so spoiling our enjoyment of the game, by having to let you pass.

I have had no problem buying ss tickets for friends this season and there were even two Southstand cash turnstiles open for the Wakey game.

I sometimes wonder if they actually know how many people are in the Southstand?

I think they just give out pink cards because its someone's jobs worth. 2K down on Wakey last year, is this the start of things to come. Have we surpass last years tickets, probably NOT

How do things work at your local Springfield stadium?

Is it better or worse than Headingley?

Looks like they know of the issue. HTH guys.

Its a bit different over here, someone has marked out a baseball pitch where the Rugby should be played.

However, there is no metal strips laid on the terracing, so no cold feet.

You can actually hear the announcer, and the cheer leaders, well what can you say on a forum, without getting a locked thread, or worst.

Stewards are very friendly, no "Jobs worth" staff members, our membership passes work, and if we loss them we pay $1 for a replacement. not £15 as you do over their.

Our "southstand" is not falling apart, but we do miss our spiral staircase, its just not the same without it. It always used to get in the way of the action, oh happy days.

Our referees keep to them self, so we have no data protection problems. We did have a ref, dressed in Orange, would you believe who had his own show, is was called the "STEVE CRUSTY SHOW", but that lasted one week.

We hope to have a new ref called "Billy Whizz" coming over from Aussie Land soon to take charge of the odd game. I think he used to play over in England for the Pie Eaters but I may have got the wrong man. D'oh

Hope that helps DAMO

Steady on fella or the drugs squad will be after you faster than you could say "[iwhy did McLaren ban me[/i" ?
