Re: Drummer
 

earlier on only two gates where open, then when the queues started they opened the other two therefore all 4 where open when they queue developed

also if i remeber rightly all 4 where open for rovers game as well....still dont see your point your trying to make?

Re: Drummer
 

Not too sure to be honest, apparently they got opened around kick-off today though

Re: Drummer
 

Meanwhile, Redraine thought that the gate looked "nearer 2000 than 3000"! Which just goes to show what an imprecise science "gate guessing" is!

Personally, I believe the club's figure.

Re: Drummer
 

If we have the Eric quotient to take into account then this is a good thing as money is being spirited away for a rainy day.

If it was possible to fiddle the gate then so what

Personally I don't care, but I hope we never find out one way or the other as it is fun trying to guess what the official crowd will be given at when one can see the ground is full to bursting.

I have always viewed the crowd from the point of view that if there was only 3000 on today, where would the other 2000 people have gone exactly should they have turned up at the ground?

Re: Drummer
 

In future I will try to look at it from this point of view, I haven't got a clue where another 2000 fans would have fit but that's not my job.
More supporters came that was obvious but they noise level was down, we want the drum back.

Re: Drummer
 

plenty of room on terrace still, , i could easily make my way around the terrace today so therefore the 2000 would have fitted in. As well as the cow shed which wasent as full as we have seen it plus there was room on away terrace as well with only 900 on there :)

Re: Drummer
 

plus the gate opened for people with the right change........

Re: Drummer
 

Dont even go there :D

You try putting up with 'dale fans moaning about you not having change for an hour +.

Moaning Friggers !

Re: Drummer
 

I heard this happened last season for the York game where the men in black collected the gate money in their pockets, which game are you talking about?

Ah yes................... but I only counted at kick-off :D time!

Re: Drummer
 

Totally out of order Bagpuss....yes the Security Lads did infact take cash on the gate, however this was handed in along with all the other gate receipts.For you to suggest otherwise is tantamount to a criminal accusation.

Please feel free to approach me at the next home game......Im easy to find coz of the yellow jacket that says Chief Steward on the back, and I would be more than happy to point you in the direction of the head of the Security team at the next home game so that you could put your 'accusation' to Him personaly.

Re: Drummer
 

Pete lets not get carried away mate, at the time it appeared that something like that had happened & you know how rumours spread....

:) :) :) BTW I need to order some of that material that the Boco flag was made from, do I need to PM Sparkie?

Re: Drummer
 

Eeeerm a little OTT .... bagpuss simply stated that the security took money at the gate which most of us know they did... he hasnt accused anyone of stealing... although that could be read into it the way he said pockets :)

I know they where told to do that and I know why and I know the people entering by that method where being counted independantly (as a matter of course) so cash and numbers had to tally.. But not everyone knows that so you have to take into comnsiderration that if someone sees soemehting that looks dodgy (and it did) then they have the right to express an opinion on it.... without the vieled threats from a chief steward..

You weere not threatening him ? Well he wasn't calling anyone a thief..... easy to read between the lines :)

Re: Drummer
 

Without getting into a slanging match with you Tony, I am afraid that the comments made by Bagpuss do read like an accusation and as such I stand by the general gist of my post.

I appreciate that I could have worded my post a little better in order for it not to read like a threat, so if thats how others see it, then I appologise.

Perhaps Bagpuss would like to take this oppotunity to explain what he/she meant by their comments?
