While the turnstyles arent perfect (still dont see what the SMC have gained over manned turnstyles as they still have just as many stewards stood about sorting out problems, and have paid to replace the scanners twice) and there was an accident on the A63...fans really have got to start turning up earlier, theres thousands who still think you can stroll up 5mins before kickoff and get straight in.

It's a three way responsibility, the fans to get there early enough, the SMC to improve DRAMATICALLY the catering and the club(s) to put something on to entertain, especially in a freezing stadium on a freezing night!

Very promising with another week of the members' double offer to go.

If only we had the full east stand to sell tickets for





The Allams must be the only owners in the world who don't want fans in their ground

We (FC) should be pressuring the council, why is it (so far) no City of Culture event has happened at the KC and surrounds, why are the Allams ruining the KC....

Maybe Councillor Webster can help. He was giving it the "over my dead body" chat over Airco on here but then disappeared.

To what level? My perception of the catering at the KCOM is that it's not much different to other stadia - hot drinks, soft drinks, alcohol, pies, snacks. What are the DRAMATIC gaps to, say, Saints or Warrington? Am I missing something?

Indeed the catering very much matches the standards found in stadiums throughout Britain and indeed ones I've visited overseas. Overpriced and something to avoid.

Wish we could get more like the USA and Canada, our stadium catering makes motorway services look gourmet!

Just have food and some drinks/beers before you arrive at the KC. There's no obligation to buy food or drink whilst at the game or hand over any of your hard-earned to Allam.



The turnstile situation is a joke. After their install it was taking up to 20minutes+ queuing last season. The major flaw in their design is that they're outside on the wall, instead of next to the turnstile itself, so per person it takes miles longer than it did. Multiply that up by hundreds/thousands of people and its no wonder it takes ages to get people in.



I want a fair bit of Premier League football, 50-60k attendances and I'm never waiting longer in a queue to get in than 2/3 minutes.



Fans shouldn't have to 'get there early', they should be able to arrive at whatever time they want with an expectation of a small wait. This issue is firmly at the SMC/Allam's door and their crap scanning system, not the fans

But that's essentially the same as other SL offers? I'll check out the offering at Salford and rate the gaps to the KCOM offer later.

10,000 tickets sold with over three weeks still to go and obviously minimal away support. Decent start that.
