    Thats actually not the case, because I bought tickets for a preseason friendly against Sunderland and you didn't have to select seats just a block within the stand. This kind of pisses people off because they could do this for the Blackburn game and have no issues as everyone knows it unreserved off the bat.

    I’m going tonight and buying my ticket when I get there,just like I did against Hull City.The queue I was in was a big one and I can see that happening tonight so getting there a bit earlier ;) It may put some more on the gate.

    I just rang the club. The receptionist spoke to Mick Lamb who says it's unreserved tonight.

    The tweet saying otherwise was a mistake, apparently.

    I went down today and they said it was unreserved so why not just put that on the tickets .............. think tonight could get a bit silly

    For Exeter cup game last year you just bought a ticket for the stand, no seat numbers were listed. So they can do that and then there is no confusion. Putting rows and seats on tickets then announcing a free for all really does them no favours.

    “I blame Maggie for selling it off in the first place, but then I blame Maggie for most things.”

    So do I but only because it is/ was her fault. Free market economy results in a few megarich and millions of poor.

    Sounds like only his fault and no one else's, eh Trev.

    Go and find another scapegoat, thanks.

    We wouldn’t have beaten Blackburn tonight with any formation. Sadly it’s a sign of the times that their 10 fringe players and reserve keeper were still too good. If they had played their first team we’d have lost in a very embarrassing fashion.

    Spot on. And if any of Blackburns 'reserves' from last night need a loan, we'd take them here in a heartbeat!

    I disagree. Rovers were quality but they beat us 2-1 not 5-0. We had a couple of very good chances to extend our lead in the first half and could have taken it to penalties towards the end. It wasn't our night in the end but we are talking about small margins here so to say we wouldn't have beaten them with any formation when we could have done just that had we put our chances away, is well wide of the mark imo.

    Yeah not doubting that rod . My response was to your suggestion that there was a issue with the barcodes which I don’t believe there was . As you say lack of turnstiles been open didn’t help.

    We got there about 7.30. The queues were what they were in the photograph. That is a fact.

    Secondly they opened extra turnstiles after that photograph was taken, so had the staff spare to man it, as they were in the ground they would already be paid.

    It is more about allocating your staff in a smart and timely manner, to where they are needed.

    The club will have known how many tickets it had sold before say 7.00p.m. City could have allocated those staff which eventually opened additional turnstiles at that juncture.

    I am not aware that I or anyone else suggested they open ‘every’ turnstile.

    If they didn’t have the staff on site, with the ability to operate the late additional turnstiles, they wouldn’t have been opened at the last minute.
