Where was it said there was just 1 person? That is silly!
A few posters have mentioned it in the thread Nick.. rather stupid only having one serving.

Can I just say there might have only been person serving .. But being cash only it was really quick once you got inside .. As they were selling one block you just got given your tickets instead of asking for specific seats.. Never going to please everyone ..
It's easy to mock all this chaos I suppose but the positive thing is that the overwhelming numbers are forcing the hands of the powers to be to sell all the empty seats and with every minute today and tomorrow I'd suggest a few more tickets will be claimed until the vast majority are satisfied.

Another good thing today they opened up at about 8:45 rather than waiting until the 9:30 official opening time .. Bit of common sense for a change
or they could have done all that with 3 people and it would have been 3 times as quick. People are still having to que for 4 hours+ for no good reason

So have they opened block 10 then or not?

I believe what the other poster is saying is that if they had two or three tills then they wouldnt be any quicker because the staff would be spending more time with each customer trying to sort out which seats were still unallocated.

I've no problem with anyone coming to watch the City. The problem is that there are many that are only ever going to come to these games and cup games against Premier League opposition. Win, lose or draw on Friday, many will still stay away until our triumphant rise to the Premier League.
they could easily have multiple, cash only, don't chose seat tills open. There is no seat allocation issues created there.
In fact quicker still would probably be to have printed all 2000 tickets and hand them out 2 at a time for £20. With 3 people doing that they would have been done in an hour. They wouldn't go on peoples purchase history (not sure if they are with what they are currently doing) but it's not like thats a big deal.

On the Gills website they just posted that there allocation is sold out but you can pay on the night which I can see there end being invaded by CCFC if the case
No future with SISU

The problem is SISU will not invest. The staff at the ticket office are doing a good job with rubbish investment from SISU.

Short sighted view. My Mum has been to 2 games since 1971.
However those 2 games encouraged me and my brother to become regulars.

Then we have ST holders to go on sale tomorrow, probably 3-4k. Corporate + hospitality maybe another 2k and then the away allocation

Invest in staff to handle a one off rush like this? Realistically that isn't going to happen.

And many will return like myself. It's the homecoming, that's the big draw. They must have a slight bit of passion in them regarding the city as it's on sky and easier to watch on the box.
To a degree, some in front of me were saying they don't know who plays for us anymore and when a woman said " that baker will be giving his all as usual" my McDonald's coffee was nearly spat out my mouth.
I'll be there against Yeovil, like all the other home games so don't judge me because financially I didn't budget for us returning home. I was at Bradford, MK dons, and had a ticket for Wycombe but had to work. I don't get the point of posters being pissed off with others buying tickets, if only 10% of the fair weather/ cup game people come to the Yeovil game then mission accomplished in my eyes.
Nobody has criticised individuals as the staff up there are doing all they can and should be applauded. It's the club who have shot themselves in the foot and created the mess. I didn't go over the weekend to get tickets as like the majority, I thought there would be plenty to go around.... How wrong I was.

I'd go club shop tomorrow morning if you can, tomorrow is only online sales and collection so should be fairly quickly.
Good news that block 10 is opened - making them from half 5, allowing those to try and head over after work is a good touch too.. I hope those shop workers can claim overtime!
This common sense approach to running a football club is just starting to catch on..
