Anyone whose paying direct debit, you cant pick up the passes till the last payments gone through so wont have them for Wire game

FC are posting a ticket out to everyone for this game though

Are you taking admin lessons from us? That's poor.

I guess last year, a few cancelled the Direct debit after getting their passes. That is the only reason i can think they are doing this.

I know they have had some problems with hsbc not processing direct debits properly too.

doesn't make any difference though as you still get all games.

That cant be right surely? Any fan with a pass not paid for fully should have been denied access and easly nowadays with computised electronic turnstyles.

Checking everyone's ticket stub before entrance, at the KC Stadium would be an epic fail. Most would miss half the match before even getting in! We dont have electronic turnstyles.

Maybe PAC didn't know that you still had a booklet for a season pass and where still living in the olden days. I know from experience at Rovers with Rovers having the credit card type season pass, If you do happen to lose your pass you ring the club up they cancel your current pass and send out a replacement to you.

Therefore at Rovers if you didn't pay for all your installments they'd just log onto the shop computer and disable your pass and you wouldn't get through the turnstyles.

DONT HAVE ELETRONIC TURNSTYLES ???

Thought it was a grade A uptodate stadium?

No wonder the crowd figures get questioned.

Problem with computerised passes is it makes it easy for people to flout the system. Buying concession or youth passes instead of adult ones.

Pro's and cons to all types.

Has Craven Park still got a staff member on each gate with a hand held scanner?

This season all children and concessions have had to prove they're eligible when picking up their pass, none have been sent out.

As long as everyone gets a ticket for the game then no big deal. If people fail on the DD payments they shouldn't be getting a pass.

As long as every-one affected gets a ticket I don't see a problem.

I could quite easily get a student friend who does not go to rugby to get me a pass and then voila i have a cheap pass.

You' need to provide student ID at every game using your pass though.

So you get your pass and then somebody checks it each and every game?

If it's a student pass then yes. Or it's what happens at Rovers. The reason why is simply because of what you've just suggested what your friend could do for you.

Concessions are advised to carry proof of identity/entitlement with them to avoid being refused entry.

In a way, it's similar to the random drug tests, some might get away with it - others will get caught.

Are there electronic turnstyles on the new North stand, the east stand extension and the relocated golf stand at Poorhouse Lane?

It's called a 'swipe card' because you'll have pinched it.

This is a bit poor from the club, the passes should have been ready.

They are ready but they are doing this to stop the few not paying their last month on the direct debit.

I had not read it tbh. Just have now, poor planning then. It should have been aligned to be paid before the first game.

I agree, always thought it was strange to start the DD in December, when they could just as easily start in November.

When I've gone in on my mates Student pass at Rovers I've never been asked for ID. I've also been in on Senior (not sure if there's a difference between senior and student) and junior passes so the checking isn't as strict as it could be.
