[Albion] Season Ticket Farce @PaulBarber

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

A much better response from Barber this week than last week.

Yep, why on earth didn't he just say that in the first place. Much more reasonable, although vaguely amusing that he won't back down still

Much more balanced response from PB…….probably realises he goofed a bit with his ‘clickbait’ comments.

Covid protocols are a bit of a joke. Made the mistake of going into Dick’s Bar pre match this evening (there was no queue and we were a bit early). Villa/Chelsea on the TVs, absolutely rammed, barely a mask in sight. Made a swift exit to the well-ventilated concourse that had plenty of space (but no match on the TV). Logically would make far more sense to show games in the concourse and not in a crammed, airless, hot, enclosed area

Yep. If they insist on serving booze at the concessions it all seems a bit silly…..

Without any knowledge I guessed that might have been because those initially asking were knobs.
Then subsequent posts suggested my guess was near the mark (certainly nearer than usual).

a restrictive covenant on Goldstone Lane.

Did a little digging and think it was more than that, this taken from https://www.mybrightonandhove.org.uk/places/placesport/goldstone_ground/goldstone-ground

There were two conditions on the sale, though: that no structure on the eastern side would project above the boundary fence, and that no structure could exceed a height of 50 feet. Nevertheless, the purchase of the freehold did proceed in the summer of 1930 when the club obtained a mortgage on the ground and paid the outstanding £5,120 16s. to the Stanford estate.

I read that to mean no structure anywhere above 50ft and nothing higher on the eastside than the 8ft fence. Not sure how tall the west stand actually was but it must have been close to 50'.

Shite attendance! This scheme would not have helped.

A contributory factor but I suspect the time of kick off combined with the lack of transport on a day when most want to spend time with their family plus of course covid infections spreading rapidly thereby excluding those that have it (like Moi) and those that don't want to get it were far more relevant.

Digital ticketing needs to conside EDI and many eldery fans without digital connections.

The club already offer physical ticketing for a small percentage of elderly fans and others who are digital/mobile resistant.

Isn’t it one of those QR codes that updates every 20 seconds? Just taking a screen shot of one of those isn’t going to help.

It definitely helps

Depends if the code updates regularly, which it is supposed to do, so you would possibly need to do it when they arrive at the turnstile

My son and I have tested it a couple of times. Once 12 hours before kick off ( as when the photo was taken not when we scanned at the turnstile ! ) And once about 48 hours before entry - worked both times.
