They ticket cars in Ash Green for City and Wasps games so guessing they’ll be doing it tonight too.

As much as I like to laugh at Wasps I find it quite sad how rapidly things have gone downhill at the Ricoh. The top people at ACL may not have given a shit when it was under council / Higgs control but the staff on the ground were good at their jobs and very highly regarded in the industry, in fact several awards were won.

Now they can't even organise getting people in to the venue. Its the same with our match days, its a noticeable downhill trend.

Add in that in an age where most companies are quick to respond to any social media criticism they complete ignore anything that isn't praising them. Why are they not taking on board what their customers are saying.

Edit: just had a look myself on twitter, seems its not just problems getting in. People posting that it mayhem inside the stadium and the support act is inaudible.

Inaudible eh?... There is a god..

I got my girlfriend and her mate to walk the final 20 minutes because our satnav predicted we'd be stuck in traffic for the same amount of time.

What other modes of transport are feasible for the ricoh? It seems so poorly connected to other parts of the city. Love that we're getting these kind of events but it's crazy how our infrastructure just shuts down

Another mode of transport that might be considered is the train that stops right outside the stadium - the only issue is that it costs 13.6 million to build and doesn't seem to run very often

Saw on twitter that at a recent Wasps match they had run out of pies and pints but were still taking orders and charging people.

Gotta get rid of the multi million debt somehow, with or without Cov!

See lots of people have been tweeting the Telegraph and their reporters but virtually no mention on their live blog. Just a 'get here early as there's a queue'.

 

[higgs]

The feckn spice girls can play at the Ricoh and the local football team who it was built for can't that makes sense

Ricoh has never been able to handle big crowds but the stadium has never put on the right amount of staff.

Wasps pretend they run the stadium well but we all know they don't.

Try taking a piss, and getting a pint, and then drinking it down*, all in 15 minutes to get back to your seat before the second half. * drinking the pint obviously. These Ruggers don’t know they’re born do they?

Such a poorly planned stadium really, inaccessible from 3 sides essentially. Terrible public transport and really poorly integrated into the local area.

 

[matesx]

Is the "even" some kind of teenager speak?

 

[speedie87]

I guess it’s 90% women there tonight that’s got to lead to massive queues for loos whatever the stadium. Bet loads of women in the blokes some using urinals!

Not sure what the new arrangement is with the company that replaced Compass but it doesn't sound 'world class'

I don’t even tbf

 

[speedie87]

Just a twitter search hundreds of people complaining about taking an hour to get in and being absolute chaos and unsafe outside

 

[ccfcway]

that's nowt. I was at a snow patrol concert last week and the bar queue was 2,.5 hours, complete shambles.

 

[Mcbean]

It’s just rubbish - these people have no idea how to run a business - every minute in the queue is lost business - those if you who went the hand in hand FGS on match days - you never waited to be served they were on the case . As for the ladies blame the architects their logarithms for the numbers of women who attend a sports fixture are incorrect for a spice girls concert so it’s bound to happen - and as for the train that’s the biggest joke - I could write a book on that one - whoever sold the green stadium bit in an out of town site wants shooting - rant over oh and by the way motorbike or scooter is probably the most efficient way !

 

[ccfcway]

its not a stadium built for 50% attendance of women, let alone more than that...

the food and drink thing is poor, but despite the attendees losing out, its the events company who lose out more, they really should have roaming people with back packs of beers etc.

A lot to be learnt from german football events. Even at £20 a head they will have lost several hundred thousand tonight if they aren't fulfilling drink demands

oh well, why do we care ,its nowt to do with us

 

[covcity4life]

I went and must say spice girls every bit as iconic as they seemed in 90s. Was a great show


Fucking loud as fuck too (albeit scresming women.....as i groped them)so dont wanna hear souless dome bs ever again. At one point felt the stand vibrating below me. Maybe thats a structural issue tho!

Had no issues getting in but i got there 630 and i didnt drink so no queues there. Wife did however take 20 mins popping to ladies room,actually wueue was so bad she and other women just went in the mens toilets lol

All of um got in good shape. Geri and mel c arms were so toned lol

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Do they utilise the exhibition hall for the larger gigs? A few bars/food kiosks/portaloos set up in there would be handy..... been to a few gigs at the Etihad and they have bars/loos set up outside the stadium but still inside the security/ticket check area. But I suppose with the ricoh the car parks get in the way.

Just been confirmed by my wife! Ha ha

Do either of them play Right Back?

 

[ccfcway]

Do either of them play Right Back?

Both are living off their performances from 10 years ago. (Insert joke here)

 

[covcity4life]

Do either of them play Right Back?

I would like to shag geri

Does that answer your question?

Imagine if CCFC could be blamed?

 

[Nick]

There are hundreds of people kicking off. Strange how they didn't search bags for that but take kids drinks off them at football.

 

[Nick]

Ooops, wonder if the Telegraph will mention anything?

 

[Nick]

Ohhhh ex Big Brother contestent speaks up







Last one is interesting!

 

[covcity4life]

Ahh the joys of living in walking distance

Queues were organised at 630. I imagine loads cut it fine timewise

Basically, Wasps put on a Spice Girls concert and fucked it up and loads of hormonal middle aged women are going apeshit.
