Because nobody else was in the line I was queueing.

And? You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about something. I was Covid checked, ID'd and searched, didn't even check to see if others were or not, just went about my business about 30 seconds slower than I would've done without any of those checks being done. Hardly the end of the world, is it?

Queues quite long but moving at 2:10pm. Takes 10 to 15 mins extra to get in. And 15 mins extra at the food/drink bars. It’s completely fine. Get there early and you’ll be happy.

WSL about 2.30. Fast moving queue no id or covid check. No pat down or wand check. Phone tickets were fine. I'm slightly concerned about the lack of security checks & am not fussed about covid checks. Someone near to me managed to smuggle in a miniature bottle of wine WITH CAP, for the 2nd half. I think some others on the other side had Guinness* in plastic pint glasses. It could have been Coca Cola* but #Barberout anyway! Queues so long on entering that I couldn't be bothered to get a pie.

*Other brands of similar drinks are available

Fine. Tinkety tonk for 99% of people, but not for me, the singled out person who'd spent cash getting from
London to the ground, get treated like f****g shit at the ground and then get treated like sh*t getting from the
match.

Being randomly selected for a spot check is not "being treated like f*****g shit".

Get a grip.

Was a weird day ESU queues looked horrific, walked straight in the NS 2.50pm no checks purchased two pies and a hot dog for the boys also three cokes all served with lids on :clap: very handy my drink lasted the full 90 minutes made a change to having some c..t kick it over and wasting it all.

Getting to the ground from Polegate by train was close to being a nightmare but getting home by train was possible the worst 3pm ko trip since the Amex opened

Access to the stadium itself was absolutely fine. Getting from the uni car park to the stadium with my disabled Mum was a complete nightmare and won’t remotely work for her. Unless the club sort out better arrangements for her, I’ll have to cancel her ticket (and 8 games/season hospitality).

First game back. About 10 mins to get in, next game I'll get there a bit earlier. CV checked, mask on and straight to west stand lower seat. Left a little early to avoid the rush, first time I've been around a lot of people since Feb 2020. Avoided public transport and booked parking space in Coldean

CV checked? I hope this went okay and they didn’t ask you any tricky questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses? Where do you think you’ll be in 5 years time?

Were there any gaps that you had to explain?

Did she use the transfer bus that runs from the uni to the Amex coach park?

WSU. Very short queue, covid pass checked in queue and then easily through the barriers. There will always be teething issues but I think the club has handled this well.
