    If they can't be arsed to serve us at least all day Saturday let alone Sunday, how about this for an idea when our semi final tkts go on sale....

    Day 1 Pontefract Road Season Ticket Holders

    Day 2 East Stand Lower Season Ticket Holders

    Day 3 East Stand Upper Season Ticket Holders

    Day 4 West Stand Season Ticket Holders and Centenary Members

    Day 5 Vouchers

    Day 6 General Sale

    Tickets for up and coming league games should be dealt with over the telephone to accomodate the big cup games.

    That way everything's sorted inside a week and the queues are manageable (if the box office opens 8am-7pm AND EVERY terminal is in operation - Paying overtime should'nt be an issue with the prize money we've earned!)

    It's hardly ******* rocket science is it!

    I will gladly queue with ALL your season tickets books!

    That bit was tongue in cheek, but what about the idea for future cup games? nt

    Why?

    Should Ponty End get priority over East Stand? Or East Stand over West Stand??

    Pick your own order - its not about Prioritising......

    It's about keeping the queues managable and to save us all getting pnuemonia!

    They've got to stagger sales by some method

    The patron code idea at least staggers by fan seniority.

    With the semi being at Wembley they would probably have cash on the turn styles

    What if

    you can't make it on the day allocated for the stand you sit in. Are you stuffed?

    I think that plan would have no positive affect to be honest - knowing that the tickets are guaranteed for ST holders means that fans stagger themselves. The problem is not that the fans are all turning up at the same time, it is that the club have no effective means of serving people efficiently when they do turn up.

    Spot on

    150 people served in an entire weekend - that's the problem.

    No they're not...

    ...staggering themselves. Too many turned up and queued in the first few days. Some are being sensible, most are not.

    I've said it before, but

    we're all going to have to queue because they're simply not getting through the tickets quick enough.
