Thanks KayRon had looked into one of the main people at the Save our Southend recent protests, who had a long history of only buying children's tickets, and, on one occasion, bought 32 - the suggestion being that he and his mates take pride in diddling Southend out of ticket money on a regular basis. This guy was not part of the official protest group according to several people.

Yes, you'd like to have thought it would have been questioned at the time though either at the ticket office or at the turnstiles.Thanks Kay
That is taking the p**s completely
Genuine question though, when you put a ticket in the turnstile machine does it come up with a different light or notification to say child ticket? Because I can’t remember the last time anyone physically checked my ticket.Yes, you'd like to have thought it would have been questioned at the time though either at the ticket office or at the turnstiles.
I know a couple of seasons ago when going into the West at the start of the season there were stewards checking and I believe they knew what tickets people presented by the lighting on the turnstile but, it is an interesting questionGenuine question though, when you put a ticket in the turnstile machine does it come up with a different light or notification to say child ticket?

Yes, it does, concession/OAP/child should come up with a different colour light - which the stewards are supposed to be able to notice. Trouble is, I don't think you can distinguish between the types - so perhaps a student might appear the same as a child, for instance. It's so long since I've used the turnstiles with someone with one that I can't tell you what colour light it is for one. Orange possibly?Genuine question though, when you put a ticket in the turnstile machine does it come up with a different light or notification to say child ticket?

Last Saturday for Stockport we were just waved through. It's possible that a lack of stewards will prevent thorough checks.I know a couple of seasons ago when going into the West at the start of the season there were stewards checking and I believe they knew what tickets people presented by the lighting on the turnstile but, it is an interesting question
My mistake are they not called “Marshall’s” nowLast Saturday for Stockport we were just waved through. It's possible that a lack of stewards will prevent thorough checks.
Only if they've got a ten gallon hat and a posse. Yee ha!!My mistake are they not called “Marshall’s” now
Or are called Wino.Only if they've got a ten gallon hat and a posse. Yee ha!!
Agree with you totally and may i add Rons broadside was some what out of the blue and like Paul said Ron was talking to the wrong people,but all in all another very useful meeting and thanks to everyone there.Quite enjoyed Tom's nearly 100 days zoom meeting apart from the Chairman's final contribution.Nobody enjoys getting ripped off but I can't imagine that anyone present at the meeting (or most people listening in like me) would dream of ripping SUFC off for 32 kids tickets.
The fact that programmes are no longer available at the usual kiosks is of course a joke.Sorry but queuing up at the food/bev outlets,going to the ticket office or getting a digital programme don't do it for me.
Talking about good programme service I was well impressed by Kings Lynn who sent me a copy of the programme for our first NL match there for just a fiver.That's what I call looking after supporters.
He certainly wasn’t anything to do with SOS, as was mentioned.Ron had looked into one of the main people at the Save our Southend recent protests, who had a long history of only buying children's tickets, and, on one occasion, bought 32 - the suggestion being that he and his mates take pride in diddling Southend out of ticket money on a regular basis.

Personally didnt take it like that I think he was saying we all want the same thing and need to eradicate these actions.He certainly wasn’t anything to do with SOS, as was mentioned.
RM is still irked that people don’t like him and have protested against him. I think this being mentioned was an attempt at a cheap shot against SOS, which with hindsight made him look silly.
It definitely was he mentions the protests on a regular basis. If it wasn’t, he didn’t need to mention the protests, as the protests are irrelevant in this matter.Personally didnt take it like that I think he was saying we all want the same thing and need to eradicate these actions.
Any reason you didn't say that in the call? You know, like actually to him?
His Napoleon complex coming out again.
