Title: Late entry to the Keepmoat
Post by: Dr Fundlekrotch on March 23, 2010, 06:24:03 am

I'm going to be about half an hour late tonight (my lad's school decided today would be a good day for their school play...I'm convinced that Notts Education Authority don't check Rovers' fixtures when organising these things!)  Does anyone know where to go to gain entry to the Keepmoat once the turnstiles have shut?

I turned up late once, only by about ten minutes and had to bang on the exit doors for a further ten minutes before anyone came. Stewards let me in though no problem. I didn't even have to show my season ticket!

I once had a similar problem getting out!.I had to leave at half time and after asking a steward to open the door he told me he would have to get a senior steward to let me out. About ten minutes later he returned with the said chief of West stand security who duly released me! :cheer:

I think the obvious answer is to ring the club or email them - better to email and get the answer in writing!!!

The problem never occured at Belle Vue. If the turnstyles were closed it was a case of climbing over the wall at the Asda end.

It happened to me at BV. Got to the (night) match 20-25 minutes after kick off due to a nightmare M1 and had to hammer on the old red Pop side exit gate for a good ten minutes before anyone let me in. I'm sure Andy Liney said the turnstiles were supposed to stay open until half time - that clearly didn't happen!

Don't know how long they are supposed to stay open for at the KMS and so far (touch wood) I've not had the same being late situation.

Where do you sit? A mate who sits with us works Saturday, and has turned up half hour late quite often, we sit in the west stand, he goes to the west stand reception, and they let him in. Hope this helps.

Cheers.  I'm in the East Stand but I've spoken to the Ticket office who said to drop in to them (if they're still there!) and they'll sort it out
