Southampton away - who had their ticket and ID checked ?

[coolcol]

I'm wondering how strict the club are in enforcing this new ID check at away games ?

Brendon had his id checked, just to confirm it actually says football manager on it cos no one believed him.

My understanding was that a random sample of people were emailed after buying their tickets.  Rather than getting their tickets posted, they had to collect them at the stadium, where ID would be checked.  I’d also be interested to know how strict the checking was.  We’re hoping to get tickets for the Fulham match but my older son can’t come so my younger son was hoping to take a friend instead.

Wonder if it’s a tv detector van type scam. Pretend they will do it hoping that scares enough people

Why did we have so many stewards from our ground at Southampton?

Nah you had to go and queue up for the tickets after the security check where the Leicester ticket office people were sat in the booth things checking ID’s, strict about it too. So strange

Highest banning orders and arrests currently, or so I was told.

 

Previously clubs such as Millwall and Cardiff have done the same. We've had our stewards at games for a long while but no where near that amount.

The trend of people turning any thread into a Brendan Rodgers slating thread is usually boring....

 

 

....but this post is an exception, this really made my chuckle.

They were on the lookout for Brendan Nout and Zak Rodgers

If anything like Warsaw, the checking would be like the Gestapo checking David Baddiel's ID 

 

I wonder though how many 'random' checks were sent to those called Doris, Eileen or Betty

After you've collected the ticket and proved your ID, what's to stop you passing the ticket to a friend?  is it all checked again at the away stadium?

Nothing. But why would you travel to an away game, collect your ticket from the stadium to then give that ticket to your friend?

Could an individual order more than one? 
 

I don’t know how it works currently as I use someone’s spare season ticket when I can get to a game.

 

Although I know when I’ve ordered multiple tickets before. I’ve just said that someone was running late (which was true). Same surname, same address on the booking and the ticket office have given them to me.

Was also wondering how it works if you buy 3 in one order, is it just the lead bookers ID needed or all you have bought for?

My misunderstanding, I thought from the post they'd asked people to collect from KP. That's why I asked about checking at the away ground too.. but you're collecting from the away ground, as we did in Europe.

Might be better than having to watch the shower of shit performances that we are serving up, mind you, be prepared for a friend to no longer be a friend if you put them through 95 minutes of crap football

Each person will need to have the required points to buy a ticket in the first place, so they have the names, regardless of who actually orders the tickets. It's the same process as Europe

One particular chap  had a ticket shredded when trying to claim in a different name ! His children were in tears but a knight in shining armour with a spare ticket got him and the tearful daughter through the turnstile  ,

Fortunately, no checks for me as I have no desire to watch any game live or on TV in the near future whilst my club stays under the current manager.
