Turnstiles

[Donnybax]

Anybody know what time they shut? I'm going to be about 15 minutes late tonight

I sometimes arrive after the turnstiles have closed and if you go into the players entrance they let you into the west stand. My season ticket is for the west stand so I don't know if this will be allowed for other areas of ground. They have no cash facilities so will need a ticket.

I always thought it was up until half time, is that not the case?

[Donnybax]

I've got a season ticket anyway. But hope that is the case SM

I know they don't all stop open, but at least one should be until that time.

By the way, I stand corrected. The turnstiles are only open for about 15/20 mins after kick off, however if you contact a steward they should be able to let you in.

I thought it was up to half time as well.
Is there any reason why it isn't?

[silent majority]

Not sure now. I'll ask again. As I say I always believed one was open until that time but I have been informed that's not so.

I've arrived after the turnstiles have closed before and given the gate a hefty knock or two. The steward opened p and let me in no problems.

My understanding now is that the turnstiles are closed around that time to allow numbers and monies to be reconciled. Then the gate has to be reported by half time no doubt as per FL guidelines.

As Mike says, after that time give the gate a hefty knock!!

Correct. Just hammer on the double doors of whichever stand you want, and like Ali Baba's cave,.......it will open.

[Donnybax]

Cheers for that gents, will do!

I imagine they shut after 20 minutes to begin reconciliation process. However if you arrive after that as above normally banging on the double doors help, or if you arrive at half time seeing a steward outside one of the smoking bubbles and they should be able to admit you in.
