RFC55 107,796 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Just had a phone call there from one of the boys there. Apparently they stopped letting people in. Think things got a bit naughty outside as the screws started charging people. Anyone know what's caused the lockout? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 strange, was just thinking there that it was a good turnout for a Friday night game, the stadium's quite full. If there were 1000 outside it would be a sell out i reckon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Game was nearly half an hour gone when I got in and missed the goal, don't know what they were doing but you could see folk getting more and more pissed off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy1984 6,314 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Fuckin shambles, went for a couple of beers when we got here and got in just before our goal. Terrible ground, was never any problem when they gave us behind the goals and the main stand years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Queues were banked up for ages with 5 mins to go. They seemed to have just two lines to get into the ground. We just played dumb and walked up to one of the turnstiles and showed the tickets etc scanned them and got in. But there were plenty of people outside still. Wouldnt say 1000 maybe half that.

McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Weird thing was the turnstile we got in through had hardly anyone lining up but the polis were telling people to just get to the back of one of the two lines. Absolute shambles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 34,991 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Thistle used to be a decent ground to get into quite quickly. Past couple of times it's been a joke it's as if they have one queue for each half of the biggest stand they've got Police at it's finest though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam_piece 633 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Got in after 30 mins. Was a few hundred outside at most but it wasnt moving for 20 minutes for some reason. 3 turnstiles open. 20170915_195305.mp4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was weird how they were making everyone queue to get through into the gate then queue again for the turnstiles but then were randomly letting people jump the first queue.

TFP77 59 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Took 20 mins to get in, polis didn't give a shit. Only when 1st goal went in and people really started shouting and complaining did the turnstiles open and let everyone through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEE 4,880 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 They tried to kettle people in the centre (between the two sets of turnstiles) and the police line was broke after about a minute - probably all started from that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
