Oh and I did not allow the turnstile operator to Taymyr card and insist on doing it myself, which was very fast.

There was a shortish queue when I arrived later than normal. Would say we’re were in in less than a few minutes as the queue moved quickly. I’m fine with that.

Turnstile operators seemed to be a bit quicker in taking the ST off you and scanning it this week.

Also meant to mention, the LED signage looked brilliant and was fully working.

The queue was half as long , got there at 7:40 and was in for 7:50.
Lady in front of me had a paper QR code, it was wet through, no surprise there on a night like that..

Turn stile operator just overrided the system and let her through. Which seemed sensible to me.

It did seem sensible until you got up the stairs and she was sat in your seat! :lol:

Definitely better than the 32 inch TV they've put on top of the Bob Lord Stand.

There was hot water in the Longside Upper and the speaker that had blown seems to have been fixed.

After being refused entry at my normal turnstile (Gate C) for the JMU earlier this season I have been going to the opposite end of the stand as per the instruction on my season ticket card. Last night we were cutting it a bit fine and there was no queue at Gate C so I gave it a go and my card gave me access. I'm guessing that the season ticket cards (or some of them) have been re-programmed - but seems that most people are unaware of this, hence some huge queues for some turnstiles, and none for others. Maybe worth some of you trying next time if there's a gate without a queue.

Much improved. Clear signage and the queues moved quicker. Also much better lighting outside North Stand. The only thing I would say, is that the TV vans are encroaching too far in to the exit up towards Belvedere road.

If a lady in her 50’s or 60’s is going to falsify a QR code to go to a footy match in that weather, good luck to her. She had a printed receipt as well.

They were slightly better last night ... not as much of a bottleneck as Saturday v Wodfart 🙂
