Not what your comments imply.

Please put me back on ignore.

Please put me back on ignore.

Instead, I'll just put a line across my phone with a sharpie so that I can't read anything you type.

They've completed the Tarmacking at the north-west corner of the stadium which I think is going to be used for extra parking.

18,000 for the game today. Not bad at all for the WSL.

I went today, I was amazed the outside food places where closed, the system needs a lot of work still, struggled with only 18k, one place had no coffee before kick off

I was surprised that for a stadium a third full the same problems a full house would get in terms of a packed concourse still existed. It's confusing. Maybe the fact that fans can move freely around the lower or upper decks of the stadium (today just lower deck) contributes?

There's also room on those concourse toward the exit area but people wont fan out, they want to be huddled by toilets/food and drink outlets/just gabbing in groups and clogging the 'kin place up.

Compared to the test events I found the concourses quite easy to navigate for PL games with a full house.

Getting in the ground is an utter joke tho.

1 turnstile is rammed and every other 1 nearby is empty.

At Goodison I could enter 6 different turnstiles, at Brammers only 1, farce.

Yep. Gate 19 is a problem every game so far. Villa game I entered the queue half an hour before kick off and still didn't get in in time. I never once missed kick off at Goodison. I think it's due to its proximity to a hospitality entrance so it has more people assigned to it than most other gates. Was told by a steward that the stewards on the accessibility entrances have hand held scanners that will let you in regardless of which gate you are assigned so it clearly is possible to allow people in through other gates.

I dont understand why they're channeling people disproportionally into certain entrances. Is there a possibly rational reason - like others have got a reputation collapsing under a lot of use of the scanners there? Just scratcing my head at that one.

All of those people?

….apparently work well underway for a substantial car park a few docks down.

I had issues with gate 2 initially as did a lot of people. Turnstile 1 is for the family enclose and doesn’t hold nearly as many people as the north upper. Due to this they’ve started allowing turnstile 2 customers into the right hand side of turnstile 1. It clears really quickly and I don’t even bother with 2 anymore.

I asked a 'senior ' steward if I could go in at a different turnstile ( East Stand ) than my assigned no.17 as they all lead to the same concourse. . He said no .Why not ? Dunno mate.
