Rich84 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Going to be a lot of disappointed fans for Sheff Wed on last day, the away end has had further capacity restrictions meaning only 3700 allowed, in a stand that has 6560 seats due to access issues following the FA Cup game against Newcastle where 4500 were allowed....

I've always thought that Sheff Wednesday walked away from the Hillsborough enquiry remarkably unscathed when the biggest problem was the appalling design of their ground. There had been problems at previous games and now 24 years after the disaster they still haven't sorted safe and proper access to the stand. It staggers me that thus has been allowed to continue. As an aside I thought the concourses at Barnsley at Oxford were very cramped and you had to fight your way through the crowd to get to the seating access points. cstand, Grumpy Git, angieram and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with people queuing for food and drink that stretches across the concourse and queues to get into the toilets. Along with those already gathered consuming their purchases or just talking, our own concourses aren't the easiest to move through at times. It might help if the club could organise the queues for refreshments to run down the length of the concourse, instead of letting them randomly form across it. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t go to Oxford but certainly Barnsley wasn’t much fun. The main problem seemed to be getting past the scrum/queue for the first refreshment sales point.

angieram Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Away games we get there early and if it's busy go straight up to our seats. Barnsley is the one ground we rarely get a cuppa because of the concourse congestion. But even managed that this time! Pride Park is a palace compared to some of the grounds we have been to. Hillsborough is still a death-trap. If they had to get 3,700 people out of that upper tier in a hurry they just couldn't do it. I try not to think about it but I hate going there. sage, rammieib, TaahnRam and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 FGR tickets, I really don’t understand how ticket priority system works. Clicked on as soon as the buy button turned blue, already large areas greyed out. I immediately clicked on the covered seats area, which is very limited, and there was about 15 left so clicked on one straight away. Pressed buy, only to be told I had exceeded the number of tickets allowed to me and to press assign to owners. Still wouldn’t let me buy. Risky strategy but I thought start again, clicked back on , three seats left, I was like a stock market trader, buy buy buy.? success, got the email . Went back on site and its currently showing, Covered seats sold out. Covered standing 11 tickets available. Uncovered standing 93 tickets available. We definitely haven’t got more than one thousand 20+ members.??♂️ Like I said, I don’t understand. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything about Barnsley away was horrible. It was the worst away day I’ve had ever, for lots of reasons, least if all the score tbh. I really hope we don’t get them in the PO semi-final.

It started badly with the car park being full when I arrived (which was relatively early) and I ended up risking it in the Metrodome car park even though it said patrons only. It looked like many more had to do the same. Getting through the crowd in the concourse was a nightmare as was the performance and result. The only two good outcomes were: 1) the parking was free and 2) I dropped my wife at family just outside Barnsley where she stayed for four nights before coming home on the train. So I had a nice quiet few days to myself (apart from the cats) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
