UpInTheAyr Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Heard from a couple of guys I know, Celtic fans, that they were going through the turnstiles that they were manned by kids who looked about 12, they weren't scanning QR codes, taking tallies, and not even asking to see the QR codes, as I assume they were down. Are they on the wind up with this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they on the wind up with this? The turnstile I got was manned by an old woman who looked like she was given alien tech to scan the QR code. Either way it was poor. Did hear from Celtic fans that tallies were taken. Definitely their queue was dealt with waaaay quicker than ours…I got there 7:20 and got in about 8ish. Hopefully this served as a good dry run. It was hanging though. Edited July 5 by Coollestersmoothe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the away end for the game it seemed to run relatively smooth to get in but those iPads they had took ages to scan the QR codes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it happened all the time with the old technology, so it would hardly be surprising if the in house technology doesn’t work very well either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least when that happened you had to show them your QR code before they allied you. Not doing that at least with a crowd that size seems dangerous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the next side of the club they need to focus on, any aspect of technology used is always terrible. I wonder if part of the issue is connection speed, I had a look at Celtic TV for 5 mins earlier which is usually below TV quality but worlds better than our stream, it was the same crap picture and audio quality and buffered twice in those five minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 How is the new ticket site btw, presume it would be too much to hope for Google pay and 'add ticket to wallet'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing that at least with a crowd that size seems dangerous Especially when someone could have screenshotted the original QR code and then sent it to pals looking for tickets. Just glancing at a QR code is a fools game. I'll forever be old school, tangible tickets all the way. Sure I've got some kicking around from 1998 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 1 hour ago, OnlyAyrfaninTarbolton said: And Bryden(love him and all that for being Ayr diehard) needs a loan to smaller club as he looks out his depth... He loses the ball and struggles to win the ball..... When he cam on he was an empty shirt..... Constantly losing the ball and mis controlling...... Don't like saying it but sadly he is not gonna cut it this season.... I'm not going to defend Bryden here but what I will say is that I'd love if Ayr signed the player defending him the whole time on loan. Had Bryden in his pocket. Number 50 for Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders1910 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Was a shambles getting into Somerset tonight. Arrived at 7.20 and had to queue for over half an hour to get in. Bit of a smooth brain move from Dave Smith to only have 4 turnstiles for a whole stand. The scanning system was also poor - iPads fixed on a holder whereby the staff had to keep grabbing people's phones to move them closer/further from the scanner before it registered which slowed everything down. New stand looked great and was impressed by it. Only disappointment (aside from lack of turnstiles) was the toilet block in the corner. Long queues all throughout the game because there's only 6 toilets which meant people were just pissing against the wall. I don't understand why we can't have a cabin with a trough/urinals as well as cubicles as troughs allows for greater capacity and faster movement of people. On the pitch I was impressed by Rus, he had a very good first touch. Stanger was great also. Wasn't all that impressed by Oakley tbh. Was hoping we would have went ahead in the second half as their team by that point wasn't far off their B team in the lowland league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motley123rock Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Was in hospitality tonight. Big teething problems. Food lovely but staff shortages had directors and office staff serving. Paid a lot of money for tonight and felt as we were ripped off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peil Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Bet the iPad issue was partly down to the local phone service being swamped by so many people in such a small area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were speaking to a few guys standing who were in hospitality who were there with their work and were saying would definitely be back as they’d enjoyed it. What I would say in the clubs defence, as someone who does a bit of hiring at my work, is it’s so hard to get people to work at the moment. We have a few vacancies popping up now and again and the response to adverts is really low. Couple that with it being casual work will make it harder. What I would be doing is looking at their Lino with UWS and Ayrshire College as students always look for that type of work when they are back from their summer break. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the many issues that's easy resolved it the Internet quality. As I've said before, I stay a few mins from Somerset and I've got Virgin media 1gig broadband, that constantly delivers higher speeds than that, superb upload speeds and bandwidth. No excuse in this day and age for shite Internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand ticket over. Rip off stub. In you go. At the front of every long queue at my work is someone fking about with a phone that's no done what it's meant to or the person with said phone cannae work it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
