- Any ‘Red Lights’ at the turnstiles and you will be directed to the Away Ticket Office.
Taking from the Email we have got today about Everton away. It looks like they won’t be pre warning anymore about ID checks
Really think the communication has been poor here mind. I said earlier that I think it's fair enough to make sure the right people are attending, but it's just really poor in terms of communication.
They should clearly state what they're doing (people didn't know if it was just a man city thing initially), why they're doing it (what is the problem, do they have any ideas/ estimates about how widespread it is), what people need in terms of ID and how they'll be notified. I don't think it's right that you could travel to an away ground and, with no notification, find you need ID (that you might not normally carry, depending on what they accept) and have to go to the ticket office. You might be getting to the ground right before kick off if you think you can just get straight in
Once they've done checks for a few weeks, they should communicate again to say what the results are, is it really a widespread issue or are 99% of the tickets in the right hands? To do it with no communication, then seemingly change the goalposts (from an email before the game, that people might have missed because they didn't communicate that they'd send them, to no notification at all), just doesn't seem right.
We'll have people on relatively high points missing out at the minute so of course it's right to make sure those with the tickets are those who have put the miles in (a few seemed to suggest the crowd at spurs was different to normal and there comments etc about it being a rare away game). But equally the people who travel dedicate a lot of time and money to the club, did so throughout the dark days in most cases, and they need to be treated with absolute respect. This seems to miss the mark imo
might have to get to the ground earlier just in case.
