Ground Development Fund (GF) – Update

He also attached an invoice for the required deposit.
You will be aware that it was agreed that any funds raised in the GDF (£4,052 at the time of writing) would be used towards the purchase of these turnstiles.
To that end, The Trust has forwarded a cheque for £4,052 to Stadium Solutions who will manufacture the turnstile units.
This sum covers the required deposit less the VAT.

And who is going to man any new turnstiles? Seems to be a shortage of help on a match day at the moment,club shop not being open and last week the tea hatch was closed? Are we losing volunteers?

[m a hill]

We really do need more volunteers Giss Iam even selling the programmes for god sake but not that I mind I like helping the club when I can

Would the lack of volunteers be due to volunteers allegedly being asked to pay to get in and help?

I was told yesterday by some Lynn fans standing near me that quit a few people saw the cue and said that it was too long and left. ok its their loss, but also the clubs loss. Something needs to be done to get fans in quicker.

Turnstiles are not the problem, neither is the time people arrive.
The problem is, quite obviously, the stupid ticketing system.
It doesn't work!!!

Ticket system is fine but not enough buy online.so simple .

[Mallard]

How many windows are there open from which to buy tickets ?

Not everyone can for various reasons.

[jesuslinnet]

How many windows are there open from which to buy tickets ?

3, sometimes 2.

Compared to how many turnstiles with the old club,and no queues then like now?

[Mallard]

So let’s assume there is 3 windows and 700 fans to sell tickets to from say 2.30-3.00.  That’s excluding those bought online and those who like to get in early( Volunteers and watching BT Sport etc). That would work out each ticket taking around 7 seconds.  Not gonna happen.  Stephen has said he is gearing the club up for the future, including bigger gates etc.   So this is one area that needs some serious address.
