Now all they have to fix is the season ticket issue that hundreds of us have had in the main stand and also two youngsters working in the top small TO on match days that results in a huge queue across the plaza. Shambles. As far as I could see, and I might be wrong, there was one female steward shouting out the instruction to go to the Wheatfield entrance. There were other stewards there, who could have told her she was wrong, but I got the impression she was enjoying herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasavallan Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I have always entered the Wheatfield from the Gorgie Stand. I exit this way too. It had always been thus. My seat is in B and entry is easiest through Tynecastle Terrace from the Merchie. Otherwise I need to walk along to Wheatfield Street to join the queue for the Wheatfield Stand. Now I can understand that for security/safety/Covide reasons they have programmed the scanners in the Gorgie entrance to only pass tickets for the Gorgie Stand and likewise the Wheatfield entrance scanners to only pass those with tickets for the Wheatfield Stand. I get it, but why not broadcast this. If the club has, then I missed it. My apologies. No problem for me, I just need to reschedule my timing.

Wonder what it’ll be like with these vaccine passports I’ve always used the Gorgie turnstiles for entry to my Wheatfield seats. The only time there was an issue was when the new stand was opening against PT. Again a security supervisor made an arse of it by turning away those in the Wheatfield meaning hundreds missed the opening ceremony and KO.

baron of ness Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Got a season ticket for wheatfield and got in the Gorgie turnstiles no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAndy Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 So basically this was caused by one steward not knowing what they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies to him if he was only 'following orders', but seemed like he was having a whale of a time telling folk they couldn't enter those turnstiles. Sounds like the same guy that stopped Wheatfield ST holders entering the Gorgie turnstiles at the PT game I mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to have the odd steward who would say Gorgie stand only at that entrance but that wasn’t the case at the turnstiles. Often happens as casual workers starting randomly. Also think due to Covid that some people are scared of doing wrong against authority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a female steward that was shouting out the instructions on gorgie road not to enter there if you had a ticket for the wheatfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is no one monitoring the overall situation around the ground with CCTV? Or reporting back to some central control by radio? e.g. that there are lengthy queues? As I enter via. Gorgie Road turnstiles the queues at the Wheatfield ones aren’t something I was aware of and wonder if those managing the ground are!

Given all the ground improvements driven by Hillborough it would seem strange if Hearts don’t have real time monitoring of the entry points into the ground as the queues played such a significant part in that tragedy. Last Sunday’s game would seem to suggest we do not have this in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thing that bugs me is the way the stewards congregate in the middle of the concourse at half time. It's hard enough to work your way through the crowds to the Wheatfield/Gorgie corner without finding half a dozen of them in hi-viz jackets standing blocking progress.
