M R S farce

[Willywill]

So if we see a queue at Maesgwyn or in the Cent we get so annoyed, we go home? Getting a ticket is no imposition. Better still, buy a ST and take any worry away. Why the fuss by a few to buy a ticket and actually sit on the specific seat?

is this not the description of your contribution to this thread...

your liverpool comparison is laughable... non season ticket holders queue either on the phone line or the ticket office when the tickets (with allocated seat numbers) are released on general sale and you queue to get in esp if you leave it late...

Not necessarily turn around and go home but would it discourage people from making the journey next time? It's not the core Wrexham fans we need to concern ourselves with, they'd probably watch Wrexham no matter what they had to do to get in, it's the floating fans I'm thinking about. If it's annoying some of our fans who think the world of the club imagine what the fair weather fans think.

You have the choice of two other stands, so are you not only too disinterested to queue but also too disinterested to walk to one of those?

Totally agree. I think, instead of having supporters that haven't visted the stand for 3 season queue to get a ticket, they should make all the season ticket holders, people with tickets on their phones and people who have pre bought tickets queue up behind these people at the turnstile as they creak open their wallets, fumble around, produce cash, wait for change (if any) then wait for them to fathom how a turnstile works rather than having the busiest stand totally free flowing as it is at the moment. That'd keep everyone happy.

Like I say, I don't agree with the decision. I 'm not sure it makes much sense.

But I've yet to see a convincing argument that it would put off floating fans.

You either queue at the turn style. Or you queue less than 10 metres away.

If Ruthin Red would have arrived at the ground at 19.35 rather than 19.40 he wouldn't have missed kick off

A few seasons back similar complaints were voiced about CASH paying customers having to go through separate turnstiles because they were paying differing amounts. Now, a supporter can enter the ground accompanied by his/her 6y.o. child, 70 y.o. parent all through the same gate. No longer do we hear the complaint "I'm not sending my kid through on their own!", as they can all go in together. Therefore, we can't have just one cash turnstile taking different amounts of money (accounting rules HMRC). If there is a queue for tickets, not all of them will have been in work til 5 and driven 2 hours on the spur of the moment, why not make your life easier and plan ahead?

That's the point at 7.25 there were no customers in the Trust shop when we walked past. Most fans try and be in the ground 15 minutes before kick off so it can't be too unreasonable for fans desperate to go in the MRS to pick up a ticket 15-20 minutes or earlier before the game or risk a bit of a queue in the shop. However there will always be a few late arivals and it would be good if the club can find ways (within reason) to speed up the process for those still wanting a ticket for MRS in the last 5-10 minutes before the game. Its been great these last few seasons, decent gates with no queues at the turnstiles so a few tweaks by everyone and happy days (wishful thinking).

A far bigger farce in the MRS is the catering....since I live close to ground and walk to games I like a beer at half time....first 2 games bar nearest town end closed resulting in massive queues at other bars ...beers bought zero = lost income to club...can't imagine I am alone in this...i know this has been debated and covered before so didn't want to start new thread but it's still not working....
