Someone needs to work on a queue management system at the back of the clough stand. Bit chaotic today

It’s always terrible getting in, must only be about 12 turnstiles for the whole upper tier?
-
Worst I've seen it today.
-
I imagine it’s because it had lots of non regulars struggling with scanning tickets etc. but it’s a shambles at the best of times. I find you have to get there a good 45mins before KO to avoid a prolonged wait.
-
There were stewards trying to act as barriers in order to separate different queues and stop queue jumpers. A better solution would be to use barriers as barriers and then use stewards to direct people to the right queue.
-
In extra monetising news, they could sell priority queueing, and arrival slots could be booked. That would thin out the
supporters walletsqueues. -
Has e-tickets made this worse? I don't recall it being anywhere near as bad when I was growing up.
-
It must have. I had a ST up there in the late 90s and don’t remember queuing to get in. People will have difficulty scanning or not downloading tickets.
-
If we keep conceding and it's still not this keeper's fault, then maybe there's something we are missing about what a keeper should be doing. Positioning? Movement? Luck?
-
Vlach is the most passive keeper I can recall us having for a very long time. You don't even notice he's playing.
-
As was the subject of discussion previously: it's extremely unusual to find a keeper at this level that isn't a shot stopper. But we seem to have managed to.
Not sure what it us that his strengths are, but you can't carry his weaknesses at this level. He may be worse than Horvath. I think he probably is. Didn't think we'd be saying that so soon.
Bring me a lunatic, not some perfectly sensible, positionally sound, mediocre all rounder. They are never up to the job.

We queued for 15 minutes to get into the club shop, only to be confronted with a queue that went all the way round the internal perimeter of the shop which we were then advised was half an hour long.
We were then in a queue for Bridgford Upper which had crashed into the Exec Upper queue. So some bright spark decided to try and move the queue to run down the side of the carpark past the buses. Unsurprisingly the queue disintegrated into a huddle at this point, how the steward responsible for this didn't see this coming I'm not sure. It was at this point the eldest asked when Notts are next at home.
-
I agree with this (well the Horvath bit who knows). What is surprising is how a keeper who held down number 1 at one of Europe's largest clubs for 5 years (in the immediate wake or one of one of the best goalkeepers in world football), at 29 years of age when most keepers are about peaking, plays like his subbuteo stick is broken. There must have been more to him at some point than what we're seeing now, meanwhile we are well short.
-
Club shop was as bad afterwards. We abandoned it before the game due to the queues. Afterwards, they were holding people outside, then letting them in when the area around the door thinned. Unfortunately, the top bit (particularly around the kids shirts and the tills) was rammed to the point of not being able to get anywhere.
-
They've been taking the slow pouring of beer to a new level of late.
Fear not though, being a keen arm chair events planner enthusiast I've dropped the club an email. Watch this space.
-
In fact it has been overturned.
