Sky dicking around with KO times is going to be a major issue soon for away trips like Hull as they are bound to be on the TV and may well mean not being able to go, grrrrrrrr

I have an under 21 ticket which my over 65 mate uses when my Daughter is at work (he pays for the pie & pint in return). Last week with the security there was no one watching the tickets going through so I could have got an adult through. Indeed, do they really watch your ticket as you pass through? I believe the lights flash so many times dependent on the ticket.

Engineering works on the ECML on that day, even for those in FIRST CLASS. Let's see what the 3rd round draw brings tomorrow.

I know what you're saying, but that must be the first time I have seen 'Albion' and 'cheap' in the same sentence! [emoji1]

Just leave the ticket inside the little wallet and it will scan ok, and nobody can see the colour.
It's not the colour of the ticket. It's the lights on the scanner

Wonder if someone might smell a rat next season when we sell 20,000 U16 ST?

I can see the point of the club wishing to restrict the number of upgrades. 6 is not the right limit to set given that there will be more 7.45 Kick offs than that this season. I suspect some Dads, not able to take their kids and unable to upgrade for a mate to sit with, may not bother going to the game themselves either.
I think a better system would be if all evening Kick Offs can be upgraded, any early kick off for TV, plus 6 random ones.
I doubt many are deliberately taking the piss, we all have different circumstances, if the club wants to maintain high numbers of season ticket holders it would be best to not become inflexible, on the other hand if we gain promotion, demand is likely to increase and wouldn't it be nice for the club to be selling more of the season tickets at adult prices, even when a kid is sat in the seat half the time.
I can't help thinking this is part of becoming Premier League Ready, ie get ready to rinse us.

.Just before you scan get a mate to throw some coins on the floor and the helpful stewards turn to help you nip through

The lights are colour coded for the different categories and the barstewards now have laminated print outs on the reverse of the turnstiles that enable them to see quickly what category the smart card last presented represents.
Indeed, it would be a really bad idea... because then people couldn't keep get away with it.

i know its probably unethical and a bit stalinistic but maybe some editing could be done by the mods ?

Really! I know they have coloured lights to determine if the ticket is a concession and what age but do you really think they have a laminate at each turnstile showing what every ticket was last used for. That would imply they reprint it every game which I doubt and to be honest, unnecessary. They just need to know whether the correct category of ticket is being used by a person entitled to use it.
As I go into WSU today, I'll try and look back and check but this may be dependent on how many pints I've had at the John Harvey!
