    Why bother printing tickets that are going on general sale anyway?</p>

    Each turnstyle operator will be selling tickets for a particular block (or two or three blocks) of seats.</p>

    Here is my suggestion: what do you think? possible?</p>

    1/. Give turnstyle ticket sellers a pen.</p>

    2/. Give turnstyle ticket sellers a bundle of blank tickets.</p>

    3/. Give turnstyle ticket sellers a seating plan like the one below that i just knocked up.</p>

    And so we move on to actually selling tickets...</p>

    Joe bloggs goes to the turnstyle selling tickets for the relevant area of the ground....
    Joe Bloggs asks for 3 seats about halfway up please.
    Seller consults his plan and says &quot;i can do that, not a problem&quot;.
    Joe bloggs says &quot;thanks, one is a child, two are adults&quot;
    Seller says &quot;great, 50 quid please (or whatever)&quot;
    Seller then writes on 3 tickets &quot;H175 ADULT&quot; &quot;H176 ADULT&quot; and &quot;H177 CHILD&quot; respectively. He then crosses off the three seats on his planner and hands over the tickets to Joe.</p>

    Joe gets his tickets.
    Club gets its money
    Costs are drastically reduced because printing tickets has been eliminated, time taken to produce plans are much quicker than to print thousands of tickets and there are no wasted tickets.
    Tickets can be sold earlier without having to wait for them all to be printed.

    oh and heres an example of a plan that I mean

    You must've put a lot of thought into that.

    Do you have a job? Fancy taking your CV down to Oakwell?

    I do have a crap job and no ta

    It took about 5 minutes of thinking after seeing it in operation at a cinema once. Worked without an hitch there too.</p>

    It's actually better than the current system because at present you have no idea if all three seats are to be together or split up by a gangway etc.</p>

    whats wrong old man? Is stating that Patrick Cryne isn't god a crime? </p>

    I've never said i'm not grateful to him for his donation, of course I am. But I am just as grateful to EVERYONE that did something or gave whatever they could to save Barnsley FC. </p>

    Cryne is no god. I've looked closely into his business when he decided to take over. However, he did and spoilt brats like you would have no club to whinge abart but for him.

    Now f*ck off.
