fans started queing at about 5.45 at the turnstiles , soon long queues snaked across the car park , problem was that car park security were sending cars that hadnt a permit through the car park to the multi storey , they had to go through the middle of the queues , fans were getting wound up about this as the danger to everyone was obvious as well as breaking up the queue , this went on till about half six , by this time fans were realy wound up at not being able to get in , they did open the turnstiles 16 to 21 about ten minutes before the others so fans queuing there had no chance of a decent seat despite queuing over an hour and risking getting run over , it needs sorting , probably not used to so many fans to deal with

Where was this mate?

I walked straight in at 7, never saw a queue

we were in at quarter to 7 with no queue whatsoever

we got there at 6.45(ish) and walked straight through on the East stand. worse is the queue at half time!

Anyone queuing up at 5.45 pm for a 7.15 pm kick off needs to get a life

thats nice telling fellow giant fans to get a life , serious health n safety issue here matey , fans were told the turnstiles would open at six

Queueing for a half decent view I guess. I heard a few people complaining about the seating arrangements.

Yeah there were queues which were quickly gone once the turnstiles opened tho not as quick as our very own stadium! I can only guess those queuing early were after the prime seats as the middle blocks are reserved seating! There were queues for the ticket office too!

But yeah it was quite shambolic at one point allowing the cars to go through when there were so many folk around but they were greatly understaffed yesterday though I am not making excuses!

Btw turnstiles always open an hour before ko for rugby!

The seatings a bit of a joke tbh, we got there half hour before kick off but the 5 of us couldn't sit together. Would have been better off allocating seat numbers.

There were plenty of seats at the sides of each stand.

If i wanted a crap veiw id have got tickets for the other stand!

Is there a crap view in the East, ive sat in the middle and towards the edge, both good views tbh

Not counting the back of young Adams head

when you are a shorty like me and the kids you cant see down the far side if you sit at the sides -

We were queuing at 5:45 also.

Mind you, with 4 behind the bar at the THREE Pigeons we soon got served.

its not really the view as such its more the fact that if groups of you dont all go to get a seat at the same time you have to be seperated! oh and its ADEM !!

Thing is to get a decent central seat you need to get there early so can see why folks do it. At the Galpharm I have great seats for me and the kids, right on halfway line about 10 rows from front, kids have a great view.

At the Shay we have been stuck on the tryline for cas game and then right on backrow 20 meter line for Catalans game. Can't wait to get my seat back tbh

It's not bad to be fair, crikey last week at Wakey!

However it does make you appreciate the Galpharm and it's superior facilities.

an hour before kick off is ample time

unless ofcourse you go to games to get

each to there own

plus how good the shay is up to cas, wakey, salford and hkr to name a few.

I didn't mind the Shay tbh, walked straight up with no que, the seat I got was fine, good view of all the game, just wish I had remembered my sunglasses!
