    And what time, pray tell, did you approach said turnstiles?

    I bet nobody turned up right at the last second

    I got a ticket in advance so got in straight away, but did see the queue for pay on gate.The club probably didn't expect this many

    Assuming everyone hasn't been to work and hasn't had to rush to get to the ground on time etc... Seen a few complaints already on social media: 2 turnstiles is not good enough.

    must be a sell out sounds like they turned people away

    they should open more stands next time, the extra staff would have been paid for with how big the queue looks from pictures iv seen on twitter

    Finished work at 7.00pm and got to ground just after 7.30. No point getting ticket in advance as it wasn't guaranteed I could go. 2 turnstiles per stand I could probably get, but 2 in total? There were dozens I passed who were heading into town instead. Can't see the decision not to have more turnstiles open as a money saver, surely?

    Only takes two people to walk away from the queue for the lost revenue to outweigh the 'cost saving'

    Turnstile operators on £8 an hour?!? Its not difficult to make sure theres adequate turnstiles open. Imagine the folk waiting 15-20 mins to get in woyld have more than covered the wages in food/drink purchases alone rather than going straight to their seats as KO was missed. It's embarassing. Especially as midweek matches are notorious for late arrivals.

    There weren't enough turnstiles open for one and the descision to put us all in the East Stand was stupid but some people I saw in the que were turning up at 8 o'clock and complaining about missing start of the match but yeah no way should those ques have been allowed to form, but we certainly aren't a joke of a club
