Arriving at two minutes to three and expecting a turnstile all to yourself is setting your expectations a little too high perhaps.
So what time is acceptable? My son joined the queue at the side of the main stand (because the Golf Road turnstiles have been a shambles for weeks) at 2.40pm. He got in the ground at 2.55pm, traipsed through the main stand (which is also a joke) in order to take up his position on the popular side just as the match kicked off. I venture to suggest that is unacceptable, and smacks of poor organisation.
At the Manager/Board presentation a couple of weeks ago we were led to believe we are supporters of a professional football club which is going places with big plans for the ground. I’m afraid it’s largely smoke and mirrors because the basics aren’t there. Lack of open turnstiles is but one of the shortcomings.
