There is a way across above the tunnel -that was the way I went last week after much pleading. Both Parkys seem to think I am asking to cross in front of the tunnel. The latest club notice seems to say we cannot cross behind the tunnel. My original question about whether swipecards will specify which turnstyles to enter by remains unanswered.

The official line is that you cannot cross the tunnel area full stop.

In regards your question about swipe cards designating turnstiles. Physically possibly not, electronically quite possibly.

Thanks for that but I am not sure I understand your last response. What is the difference between 'physically' and 'electronically'? And ....hadn't someone better find the answer to this before families are put on opposite sides of the 'Berlin Wall'?

Against Oldham in the friendly I tried the West stand and without knowing sat in the Directors box.

It was empty at the time but it wasn,t labelled. A steward asked me was I a Director and of course I said no and of course I apologised and moved.

At HT I said to my mate I,d rather be in the North stand. I politely asked a steward and he said no prob so we moved.

Seems to me unless we have a sell out and with politeness on both sides, and, of course I mean stewards and fans, then why should there be a problem.

Hoping for a win of course tomorrow.

Sorry Frank that isn't good enough! Depends too much on the 'goodwill' and 'discretion' of the stewards.

All I want is an assurance I can sit next to the mate I've been to matches with for over 50 years!

Physically on the card it may not display the turnstile numbers.

Electronically, when scanned, the barcode will likely only allow you in through the designated turnstiles.

We can't find out any more until the cards are in our hands.

I find it only fair to agree with you.

I honestly do think however the LSV management have the responsibility. Should there be a problem I can,t see it being for any other reason than a ridiculous interpratation of Health ans Safety regulations.

Most folk to be fair are capable of being realistic. And the odd jobsworth ,well what can I say. The club don,t run the stadium but maybe they could open a dialogue with the LSV management. I expect they may have done already.

i have just checked my ticket for tomorrow, and it says enter via 1 to 4, no body asked me were i wanted to sit, be it either north or south, why was i not asked? i would prefer ifi have to choose to be near the north stand as they are obviously leigh fans, i'm not sure is 1 to 4 north or south, but whatever before the cards are printed the club should ask us what we want, will they be doing this.

pretty sure 1 to 4 is south, you enter by the corner of the south stand

There is a way you can get round it. Dip under the scaffold on the seats just above the tunnel. I saw several people do when the stewards wouldnt let them through. If the club where to allow access across the tunnell say upto 15 mins before kickoff then that would be a decent thing but I was amazed that I was allowed across the tunnel at the Wigan game.

This is one of a number of issues that the Club needs to talk to the LSV about. I belive that they are doing this, but it will take time!
